I really dislike this James Olsen character, beside that, I'm really surprised with the 2nd episode of this series.

Okay, cool. Was concerned Livewire would be an alien refugee.

Not much to see, but okay.

This show has a lot of potential. Moreso than Agent Carter for sure, but Jessica Jones could blow it away.

I've never been a huge fan of Supergirl

But, for a Supergirl show, this show definitely does have potential

I kind of did hate the set up of the show... Enough to not watch the second episode. The whole "since there was already a Superman there was no reason for me to be a hero, so I got a job fetching coffee but longing to do more." There is not a single thing about that that rings true.

I enjoyed Livewire on the Superman Animated Series though... We'll see if that's enough to make me watch this episode.

I can't believe anyone actually watches, or cares about this horse dung. I actually found it offensive for being so bad.

Terrible acting. Horrible script. Disgusting show. Has the second episode already come out? I can't imagine what it would take to make me give this show a second chance.

This show is great! I watch it with the girlfriend over Gotham now. It may not be for everyone, but in many ways, this is the take that myself and Greg Miller of Kinda Funny talked about Superman having. Loving this take on Supergirl!

Only 2 episodes in, I dont have much of an opinion on the show yet...hell I didnt seriously get into The Walking Dead or Breaking Bad til season 2. I'll keep giving it a shot. On another note tho, I love that they are using Livewire. Haven't really heard that name is the superman the animated series.

This show is awful. National city? Where is it in relation to Metropolis? why is there such competition between newspapers that aren't even in the same city? Especially when a newspapers survival is as difficult as it is in today's economy and technological society. The dialogue is horrendous and the story lines suck! The sfx are just acceptable The fact she is telling everyone who she is is seriously silly. all in all a fail big time!

I don't understand all the hate for this show. Are people mad that CBS decided to aim its show about Supergirl more towards 10 year old girls than 30 year old guys? This show is basically the Flash (which most people on here seem to love), only with less melodrama.

I'm really diggin the show. I just have an issue with too mamy kryptonian characters living under the same yellow sun (both comics and on screen). It would seem that several of those phantom zone prisoners will be on the show maybe as villain of the week or every other. Though not all prisoner are kryptonian. I looking forward to this though. I also remember in the comics that there were several kryptonian sleepers on earth and that solar system so I hope this explores that too.
