As part of the CW's Arrowverse, Supergirl stands out among its peers, expertly weaving beloved Superman lore with fresh twists that have resonated with audiences.

Critic Sean Axmaker from Rotten Tomatoes praised the series: "It's a well-made series with a likable hero, a solid supporting cast, and a sense of optimism that is refreshing next to such dark shows as Gotham."

Echoing this sentiment, Steve Wright from SciFiNow remarked: "All in all, it's a solid first outing for Supergirl, and with the series' future now in the hands of The CW, the future looks suitably optimistic."

Eclipse Magazine took things even further, declaring: "I need a show in my life that's about hope.

"Supergirl provides just enough sugar in an otherwise bleak diet. People used to dark and grim, need not bother, it's not for you. The rest of us will enjoy it for the pure, blissful fun that it is."

Five-star Google reviews from devoted viewers are abundant, with one enthusiast gushing: "Constantly amazed by the wide-eyed and hopeful Kara Zor-El who continues to grow as Kara Danvers, rather than letting her Supergirl persona take over.

"Benoist and her supporting cast constantly put on spectacular performances that are sure to touch your hearts.

"Superman aside, make way for Supergirl, the hero that everybody needs and deserves."

One final devotee declared: "This has become my favourite show ever, I have watched it 6 times and it still hasn't got old for me."

With House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock set to don Supergirl's iconic red cape for the coming years, comic book enthusiasts now have the ideal chance to revisit the heroine's previous exploits.
