The season 2 premiere of Supergirl was pure comic book gold. Definitely the best Berlanti show on TV, if not the best comic book show on TV period.
Any problems anyone had with season one are wiped away. They basically got rid of the worst and kept the best. If you skipped or dropped season 1,
season 2 is now a good time to jump back in.
I couldn't finish the episode since I had to go to work today... But what I saw was far from some vast improvement though what I saw of Tyler showed promise... But the writing, dialog and handling of characters including Kara is still so forced and casting issues like Calista as Cat are apparent as ever. Now, am I gonna lie and say I didn't thoroughly enjoy seeing Superman AND Supergirl together for the first time in live action doing heroics side by side? Yeah, that's a dream come true. But then the forced "adorkable" nonsense and bad dialog comes into play and all the other elements which makes the show so lackluster to me that made me drop it last season.
Flash however... Dear Zod... Flash's season three premiere was along with it's second episode a microcosm of all that show's weaknesses as I perceive it. For me it's again going through the same mediocre motions that it did last season. Even the same issues are at play and just like last season's premiere are resolved with the same swiftness to the point of making me as a viewer say, "why even do this in the first place?" The show feels like consuming food with empty calories. Which is a shame since Gustin is so likable in the role of Barry.
