Hoechlin is only set to appear in the season’s first two episodes. But his premiere flight as Superman and Supergirl’s CW debut are both very, very good and represent the best DC Comics television has to offer.
Benoist is appealing enough, and the action sequences impressive enough, that the show gets away with the lack of subtlety. It's a competent superhero show made by people who've been doing this a while and have gotten better at it with each new stage of things.

Supergirl is nice but I want supergirl to love Jimmy olsen not the flash and she should be like uub

It’s got the sunny colors and optimistic energy of The Flash, a bright streak of feminism coursing through its storyline, and charming, star-making performance by Melissa Benoist as Kara Jor-El, aka Kara Danvers, aka Supergirl.
There are some bumps in the road as the show lays out its premise, but Supergirl has a number of things going for it: Melissa Benoist is convincing and charming in the lead role; the supporting cast, which features the likes of Calista Flockhart, Chyler Leigh, Mehcad Brooks and David Harewood, is very good; and the leaders of the writing team behind it.
Even if it’s dangerously overstuffed, and a bit too familiar in places, the Supergirl pilot still does such a nice job of establishing its protagonist that viewers will want to forgive the show its (numerous) clunky bits.
The pilot episode for CBS' Supergirl does manage to get off the ground, yet it never really soars to the heights of the supercharged "Gotham" and "The Flash." Nor is it as immediately intriguing as those two DC-inspired shows.
The series is well made and features a fine performance by Melissa Benoist (Glee, Danny Collins) as Kara Danvers, a Kryptonian woman who drops to earth a few years after her more famous cousin, Clark Kent. But it also has a patronizing, paternalistic--if not downright reactionary--attitude to gender equality.
[6.5] Lacks sophistication and darkness
Supergirl is a good show... for teens.
As a fan, I won't be questioning the choice for the lead actress and the series cast. They do a pretty good job for a 'PG' show. What has been chosen and done is done. Point. What I am questioning and concerned about are the somehow weak and cheesy script, storylines and plots topped with kindergarten acting.
IMO, the series has so much more potential and could be boosted a lot more, if the writers sail it to more dark territories, adding real seriousness, more interesting and sophisticated storylines and turn of events.
e.g. The Supergirl arctic Krypton lair on Earth has to be well hidden, accessible only to the Kryptoneans and impossible to break through and enter, even if, in an improbable twist, some enemies make it there and to its entrance. The probability of getting in should be near-nil! For now, it's like a playground, two blocks away, where anyone who gets bored or has some devious plan make a visit to.
Dear writers, make the events more frightening and awe-inducing, make the battles more powerful, shocking and bloody and make the CGI more glossy, more realistic (all parts of it), tremoring viewers' guts so they couldn't detach their eyes from the screen.
All the actors can do a better job, give their best from within, convey more emotions and seriousness. I repeat, it is not some playground, in which, to interact artificially and happily with each other.
For whatever number of seasons and episodes which are left, please make some real changes for the better or forever have a place in the museum of 'Looney Tunes' characters.

A terrible series. Supergirl is and remains one of the weakest superhero series.
The main character is just annoying. She always says that you shouldn't do that and should do so. I understand the criticism. It's also so boring. The gray mouse has been taken too seriously.
The supporting roles are all poorly or moderately cast. They come across as gap fillers that you just need.
The only good thing is the action scenes. Only these are rare. 2/3 of each episode is only talked and talked about. The dialogues are mostly not even useful for the story. As if you wanted to drag the length of the episodes in order not to have to use too many CGI effects.
