The series started off strong and could’ve been great, but they adopted the “WOKE” agenda, and that was the downfall for the series. Take a look at character creation at the beginning of the series where Supergirls outfit was in good taste, and looked great. Then, later in the series, they made her look less feminine. I find it sad that they feel the need to erase pretty women, what a sad day in history.

You've reached the end.
