3. Supergirl, “Midvale” (Nov 13th)
This episode of Supergirl feels like a less creepy version of Riverdale. Unfortunately, the creep factor is the one thing that makes Riverdale watchable. “Midvale” isn’t awful, but it’s super boring and predictable. The young Danvers actresses do solid work, as does Ivan Mok (THE AMERICANS). But it seemed like maybe the two had been trapped in their past bodies in the beginning, which was super intriguing. The fact that it was just issues we could’ve explored with the two as adults made it a disappointing arc. The episode was saved by solid kid performances and a well-placed SMALLVILLE reference.
SCORE: 7/10 Irish Coffees
