Drew Gregory Autostraddle Maines injects Nia with an immediate likability, an awkwardness that recalls season one Kara, but with an added vulnerability. Oct 26, 2021 Full Review Caroline Siede AV Club For now it's worth celebrating just how strong Supergirl's fourth season has been. Rated: B May 20, 2019 Full Review Christian Bone We Got This Covered It also sowed the seeds for the incoming "Crisis On Infinite Earths" crossover that's sure to shake up the Arrowverse like never before when it arrives this fall. May 20, 2019 Full Review Matt Morrison Screen Rant The season 4 finale of Supergirl, "The Quest For Peace," masterfully resolved all of its outstanding storylines. May 20, 2019 Full Review Alex Cranz io9.com A sincerely good conclusion to a season that ended up being one of the most entertaining seasons of supershows the CW has done. May 20, 2019 Full Review Amelia Emberwing Birth.Movies.Death. There are so many threads that they tried to conclude at once, which meant that none of them wrapped up with any sort of satisfaction.

Freedom T The CW season 4 curse strikes yet another show Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a bold move for a show like this to go into themes like discrimination and bigotry and handle it in such a subtle way with its commentary, and the fourth season handles it in such an entertaining and highly impactful way. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This season was a boring peice of shit Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review andrei d Still kinda has it, mostly Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as season 3 but still leagues ahead of seasons 1 and 2. The agent liberty centric episode was GREAT. The over all season is entertaining. Several story arcs made the season feel different then any previous seasons of the show. Lex luthor was a great vilain. That season was good from start to end, nothing feel out of place. Lena stays another interresting character. Nia nall coming to the mix added another interresting character. Despite not having melissa on set for a few weeks, they still found a way around to give supergirl a story. I don't remember Kara seeking for love, wich is great. The only negative that really dragged down the show A LOT would be the fact that many political agenda are pushed down our troats. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review ripper j Worst season so far. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
