TL;DR – Not a bad film, but still a completely forgettable outing, saved by its lead, who is doing all of the heavy lifting.

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Post-Credit Scene – There is no post-credit scene.

Supergirl Review Introduction

Today, we begin our next instalment in the very interesting DCU, not a full-reboot, but definitely more than a soft-reboot. An odd feeling all around, without the hard cut of a proper break-up. However, we have gotten some good out of it already with Superman, so let’s see if they can land another goal.

It might have stumbled a bit at the start, but we have seen it go from stride to stride in the past couple of weeks. The question is: can it keep up that momentum going forward, and will they make an Australia reference in a show all about Eurovision?  

So, to set the scene, The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Miss Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) have but one final place to test out the vindicator and it turns out they have picked The Harmony Station where the 803rd Interstellar Song Contest is happening and both immediately agree to stay and watch [look relatable]. But behind the pomp and circumstance, there is a terrorist on the prowl with death on the cards for all. Now, from here, we will be looking at the episode as a whole, so there will be some [SPOILERS] ahead.
