Supergirl: The Complete First Season (4/4) | Own it on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital HD

"Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own."

After getting that out of the way, let me just say, I REALLY LOVED THIS. I liked the show when it started, in my first review. And they just made it better over time. I have to say that when it comes to TV shows, DC has got it (like MARVEL has got it, when it comes to movies). From Arrow, to The Flash, to Legends of Tomorrow to Supergirl (and not to forget, GOTHAM), they are rocking it. The amazing team of Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kresiberg and Ali Adler are bringing you the best. The casting of Melissa Benoist as Supergirl works, but the show stealers are Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant and Jeremy Jordan as Winn. The entire cast is good, including some race benders like David Harewood as Hank Henshaw aka Martian Manhunter a black James Olsen played by Mehcaad Brooks. The special effects and quality is good for TV. It does tend to be cheesy at places, but hey, it is TV. All in all, I am not complaining about a separate TV universe by DC, because its fun to watch.

So watching the entire season on this blu-ray is definitely a treat. For all your binge watchers, this is definitely a treat, since its worth the binge watch. But even better is the fact that the blu-ray comes with lots of EXTRAS!

Born on the doomed planet Krypton, Kara Zor-El escaped at the same time as her cousin, Superman, but didn’t arrive on Earth until years later after being lost in the Phantom Zone. Raised by her adopted family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex, and learned to hide the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin. Years later, at age 24, and now living in National City while working as an assistant for Catco Worldwide Media mogul Cat Grant, Kara has spent so many years trying to fit in that she forgot to ever stand out. All that changes when she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and become the hero she was always destined to be. With the help of Daily Planet photographer James Olsen, her bioengineer sister Alex, and the research of the super-secret, off-the-grid Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), who are tasked with keeping the Earth safe from aliens, Kara takes to the skies to protect her world.
