	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"'Supergirl' is a cheerful and spot-on adaptation, skillfully accomplishing the difficult task of making a corny comic-book story seem not only believable but also welcoming to those who’ve tired (or never enjoyed) the genre."	POS
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	""Supergirl" is just great television. (...) Even those suffering from mild-to-severe super-hero fatigue will be instantly charmed"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Good casting (...) if the producers can sustain the playfulness and action without going overboard on Flockhart’s character, there’s reason to believe this 'girl' can fly."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"'Supergirl' doesn't soft-pedal its message, but rather delivers it with an enthusiastic bluntness that harkens back to its comic roots."	POS
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"'Supergirl' is an average action show thus far, but its star is engaging."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The series is fairly lightweight, closer to Berlanti’s 'The Flash' than the darker 'Arrow', but Benoist makes an appealing heroine, and there’s definite chemistry in her scenes with Brooks."	NEU
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"[It] is intelligent, sensitive, and sure-footed, and altogether promising."	POS
United States	Merrill Barr Forbes	"As with most of these superhero shows, it does take a few minutes for the series to find its footing, but after that point, there's no reason to believe 'Supergirl' isn't going to succeed with flying colors moving forward."	POS
