The chick-flick bits look plain dreadful. I don't hold out much hope for getting insightful dialogue and a thoughtful critique what it means to be a superbeing capable of ruling the earth instead try to serve it and help it.
Instead we get
Chick-flick the Superhero. I was half expecting her to go shoe shopping and bump into Matthew McConaughey or Hugh Grant.
I also don't like how genuinely awkward she is. With Superman Clark Kent was always playing the idiot so no one would suspect him (he'd hunch over, stutter, bang into things, never look anyone in the eye - He acted the klutz yet above it all he was actually confident and in control.) Kara was always a lot more brazen the times I've seen or read of her. In fact it was usually a point of contention between her and Clark that she wasn't trying to hide her confidence.
In this it looks like Karas true personality is actually that of a useless, moping, insignificant clumsy fool. SHE'S KRYPTONIAN! Her mind thinks in super speed! she has a photographic memory! She can bench press the moon! Why is she working in a job she hates and acting like she's depressed because she's trapped in it when she could quite literally do anything?
I mean, she gets so nervous she forgets her own name
while talking to Jimmy bloody Olsen! That's a whole other level of introvert that science has yet to quantify.

Maybe in this show we are at a point where Jimmy has already had his big break and has matured because of it.
And also became black? I didn't realise that's what happens to ginger people after puberty.
Maybe we are judging too harshly. We aren't the audience (It's for teen girls apparently) and maybe they will like it, but it really doesn't look anything more like a committee planned, badly written rehash of old ideas to attempt to cash in on the teen-girls market in the most stereotypical way possible.
