SUPERGIRL TV Series Thread
Quote: We may not be Kryptonian, but we still feel like we’re flying after this announcement.
Melissa Benoist has landed the title role in Supergirl, the new series in development by Berlanti Productions, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment. Telling the story of Kara Zor-el, who escaped the destruction of her home planet before arriving on Earth, the show will deal with the 24-year-old Supergirl as she begins to embrace the powers our yellow sun provides her and gradually becomes the hero she’s destined to be.
Benoist is known for her role as Marley Rose on Glee. However, she can currently be seen in the acclaimed, Oscar-nominated film Whiplash, where she co-stars as Nicole, the would-be girlfriend to the movie’s young drum prodigy, Andrew
Supergirl is Executive Produced by Greg Berlanti, who is also an Executive Producer of Arrow and The Flash, as well as Ali Adler and Sarah Schechter. The show has a series commitment at CBS.

Re: Melissa Benoist cast as SUPERGIRL in the upcoming TV
Hmm. She was super bland on Glee but I think that was more the writing than her. I thought she did a good job in Whiplash despite the underwritten role.

Re: Melissa Benoist cast as SUPERGIRL in the upcoming TV
I absolutely hated her on "Glee" but she was fine and likable in Whiplash, so hard to say right now.

Looks better than expected and she looks pretty when she's not wearing the suit which sucks I'm sold

Re: SUPERGIRL TV Series Thread
Benoist is pitch perfect. The writing so far is super cheesy, but it will find its way.

Re: SUPERGIRL TV Series Thread
The pilot was quite bad, I thought. Unbearably cheesy, dull, and none of the performances were at all noteworthy.

Re: SUPERGIRL TV Series Thread
I liked this a lot. I mean, yeah, it was kind of cheesy but I loved its earnestness and the feminist angle, of course.
Melissa Benoist is completely delightful here.

Re: SUPERGIRL TV Series Thread
Probably the least "cheesy" of the cast. But he didn't have a ton to do.
