‘Feminist’ And ‘Superhot,’ What 28 People Are Saying About Last Night’s Supergirl Premiere
"Having this incarnation be named 'Super-Girl' by a women to "prove" it's not anti-feminist. Well played."
By Daniel Hayes
The new CBS superhero series ‘Supergirl’ premiered last night on CBS. Reviews are almost universally positive. With the same casting director from ‘Arrow’ and ‘The Flash’ working on this new series it appears that they have gotten the chemistry where it needs to be to get the show off to a good start.
