It's executed in such a terrible way. I only watched the pilot, but if they keep up that this will continue to be unbearable to watch. There's way to much stuffed into one episode which causes every scene to go by way too quickly. I don't understand why they keep mentioning that she female so much and acting like that's weird or something. I don't really know why people are so excited that this show has a female lead. It's terrible, and it's not like there have never been female leads before.

I DESPISE this show! I thought it would be ok. But after seeing pilot... I was disappointed. She's cocky, stubborn, annoying, childish, not attractive, and dysfunctional. This show is terribly written. And the show looks like I'm watching the 1950's superman with color.. The way she flies looks fake. This is the worst DC TV show ever. Right now on the top lines are Gotham and Arrow. The flash is ok, it could be better though. I'd give it -5 stars if i could. Yall low life writers needs to learn from Arrow!

Had such high hopes for this. Instead it turned out to be campy like a tween show. It also has the most blatant brainwashing attempts ever. "Why call her supergirl instead of empowering her with superwoman. That's like being anti-feminist"-supergirl. Not joking, blurbs from the anti white-male hate group (modern feminist) references are used throughout. Many people like me made the mistake of watching it the first time...won't do that again. Not a superhero series at all!
