Excellent show - addresses events that are happening in today's world providing a moral viewpoint yet providing the viewer with both sides of a situation. The show goes where the other shows do not - it takes that chace to address today's issues even at risk of being disliked. Melissa Benoist and Chyler Leigh are excellent - hope this show is on for a long time to come.
NOTE: There are no spoilers for this season, but there is a vague reference to the events of the last one.
Liked this season, in fact I think it might be one of the best ones.
It just has a very strong line of episodes. There isn't much that can be said without looking at them all. They're a nice array of diverse scenarios.
Glad to finally see the Supergirl (Melissa Benoist)/Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) fallout after three long seasons of buildup. I appreciate that the show didn't do what everyone feared and just made her straight up evil and a copy of her brother Lex. Admittedly, Lena's story this season is a little drawn out and logic can be frustrating sometimes, but as a whole I think the story is interesting and McGrath really sells the character's hurt and misguidedness.
The individual stories are stronger that the overall story arcs. Or rather, the first half is pretty strong and then things lose speed. The big secret organization Leviathan becomes less interesting as we learn more about it. The faces behind the organization just aren't as interesting as you'd expect.
New character Andrea Rojas (Julie Gonzalo) has a compelling storyline, but it suffers from the fact that her dialogue and Gonzalo's performance doesn't always land. Like last season, the show still doesn't know best how to incorporate Dreamer (Nicole Mains) who often feels pushed to the sidelines.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 caused the filming to be cut short, which prevents the usual self-contained storyline the show usually has. On the plus side, I felt this had the strongest finale of all the Arrowverse shows affected by the virus.
Overall, I recommend this. It's an entertaining season of superhero television.
I used to love reading comics and eagerly embraced early comic characters when they first appeared on the big and small screens.
CW takes truth, justice, and the American way, and turns it into PC garbage that is torture to watch.
Thanks for ruining my childhood heroes, CW. Now I can just totally ignore your network!
Actual utter trash filled with propaganda garbage. If you would honestly support this you are part of the problem and you'd have to be an idiot to eat this up at this point.
Supergirl season 5 is a political show. Tendentious, shallow, banal, it's a torture. This is not anymore a comic serie. Keep out all this things from TV series, because it doesn't look true, doesn't look spontaneous. Keep out your political activism.
Political rubbish propaganda. The show polarizes a political position pushing hate on people. Unwatchable. It's a total trash, a ruined serie. Since the first episode they keep saying people have fear 20-30 times, it looks written by a 13y old teenager.
