Season 4 | Supergirl -

That’s not just good TV. That’s the kind of superhero story we need more of.

Here’s the hot take: Supergirl Season 4 is not just the best season of its own show. It’s one of the most intelligent, unsettling, and politically relevant superhero seasons ever produced. It’s The Boys before The Boys was mainstream—except with hope still flickering in the background.

Forget Lex Luthor’s real estate schemes. Season 4 gives us Agent Liberty (Sam Witwer), a human supremacist radicalized by the collateral damage of alien refugees. He’s not a cackling monster. He’s a former professor who delivers monologues that will make you pause and think, “Wait… does he have a point?”
