SUPERGIRL
October 26, 2015  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 8:30 p.m. ET

 
SERIES PREMIERE: Greg Berlanti and his team, who already have provided TV versions of DC Comics franchises in the CW series Arrow and The Flash, move to CBS to present their latest and highest-profile new comic-based series, Supergirl. Melissa Benoist from Glee stars as Superman’s distaff cousin --  but in the pilot, while Benoist is likable enough, the best scenes are claimed by Calista Flockhart as the flinty media-empire boss who lords it over Supergirl’s meek secret identity of Kara. For full reviews, hear my review on today’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross on NBC or, later this afternoon, visit the Fresh Air website. Also, right here on TVWW, read Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes and David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower – and for capsule mini-reviews, check out our 2015 Annual Fall Preview.
