The CW has been having some great success with DC Comics superhero shows. Now, CBS has gotten into the game with their own entry — Supergirl. While Arrow and The Flash fit well with rest of The CW’s programming, Supergirl seems out of place on CBS, a network known for older-skewing procedurals. Will the new series soar in the ratings or will it crash? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Supergirl revolves around Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist). As a girl, she survived Krypton’s destruction by being sent to Earth where she was raised as a human. She kept her powers a secret and now, as an adult, works as an assistant at a big city media conglomerate. Kara’s existence becomes known to the world and she is enlisted by a super-secret agency to help protect the citizens from evil forces as Supergirl. The rest of the cast includes Calista Flockhart, Chyler Leigh, Mehcad Brooks, David Harewood, and Jeremy Jordan.

What do you think? Do you like the Supergirl TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
One of the best show on tv. Great actors and actresses

One of the best shows on TV. Great character development and creative writing.
Please renew!! Strong, smart women characters!
Too bad the writers doubled-down on the DEO concept. Supergirl does not and never has been “handled” by the government. The writers turned Kara into a sniveling guard dog. What a waste of potential. Don’t get me started on the red kryptonite. Little girls beware. The only time your actually allowed to act like a real woman is if you’re suffering from alien PMS.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Happy a girl superhero but the Kara is boring and her love interests are really boring. Only time Kara was fun was with the red krytonite.
Really? So a character has to be bad to be good enough to watch??? Why can’t you be happy with a good clean show??
Please renew!! Our little girl loves this show. Strong, smart women characters!
I like the supergirl which has and great show and the characters
I love this show. It did have a shakey start, but as most people has said, it has improved each week. I really hope it is renewed!
i love supergirl to
I think the show started out well and has improved each week
I think the show started out well and has improved each week. The 3/14/16 episode demonstrated a willingness on the part of the producers to shake things up and challenge the characters. I hope it will be renewed.
RACIST PPL DON’T STAND TO SEE TWO WHITE GIRLS IN LOVE of a black guy. thats the reason y the rating down again.
I think Supergirl has great storyline and is a great sci-fit show!
I think Supergirl has a great storyline and is a great sci-fi show! It’s sorely needed in the age of reality shows(ugh!!). Please renew for another season.
Drop the show could have been a good show but they lost the idea in so many ways
