Supergirl (2015)
Fun, Quirky, and very Refreshing.
Melissa Benoist who plays Supergirl is very likable. She plays an amazing Kara Danvers. Reminds me of the way Christopher Reeves use to do Clarke Kent; Those same nerdy overtones. All in all the show is a lot like the old Lois & Clarke from the early 90s (fitting that Dean Cain should make an appearance as the stepfather). It's quirky and light without taking itself too seriously. For some reason directors want to make all the new superhero shows/ movies dark and very serious. There is a time and place for serious, but sometimes in the process you lose the fun factor. I think once and awhile Hollywood needs to be reminded that these Superhero's began in comic books. A lot of us grew up with these comics, and they began as innocent fun. This show is definitely a step in the right direction. Not quite back to the Pow, Bang, Batman, but a breath of fresh air none the less.
