Grey’s Anatomy star’s “fierce” and “terrific” action drama lands new UK streaming home

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m excited to share that I can now stream “Supergirl”, an exhilarating action drama from The CW, in the UK! This series features Melissa Benoist, best known for her role in “Glee”, and Chyler Leigh, who made waves on “Grey’s Anatomy“. You can catch it all on ITVX. Enjoy the flight, fellow fans!

The TV show revolves around Kara Danvers (alias Benoist), who is Superman’s Kryptonian relative. It portrays her journey as she strives to safeguard National City, her hometown, and its people against various dangers.

Joined by her friends Jimmy Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), Winslow Schott Jr. (Jeremy Jordan), and her adopted sister Alex (Leigh), Kara Danvers takes on a selection of DC Comics’ most formidable foes, which include Lex Luthor, Reign, and Agent Liberty.

Praised by one viewer on IMDb as an “intense and impressive show,” Supergirl has earned numerous glowing critiques.

Right now, the first season is enjoying an impressive 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with many reviewers praising its uplifting and joyful vibe.

The Guardian enthusiastically commented, “It’s delightful that this character primarily works during daytime and seems to bring sunlight wherever she goes.

The Orlando Sentinel commented that Supergirl provides an enjoyable leading character, stunning visual effects, and a strong injection of female empowerment, contributing to the expansion of the superhero category.

In simpler terms, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter, “Supergirl is indeed significant, yet what makes it enjoyable is that it lightens her Kryptonian responsibilities, making it a fun watch too.

Ever since Supergirl made its debut back in 2015, I’ve been hooked! The series ran for an impressive six seasons before wrapping up in 2021. As a fan, it’s fascinating to hear Leigh talk about her role as Alex, which she described to Awards Daily as quite distinct from her time portraying Lexie on Grey’s Anatomy.

She expressed that she hadn’t anticipated being suitable for it, as many roles she has taken on have been quite alike, such as the one she portrayed as Lexie Grey.

In most roles I’ve taken on, the characters share a similar mindset, and when the opportunity for Supergirl came along, it didn’t resonate with me at all. It was my spouse who persuaded me. He said, “Honey, trust me, you’re going to be like a modern-day Trinity.” I replied, “That’s absurd!

“Cue to me jumping off a building, turning around, shooting someone,” the actor continued.

Discovering a new facet of myself has been an enjoyable journey, helping me grasp my true capabilities more clearly.

All six seasons of Supergirl are now available to stream in the UK on ITVX.
