10 Best Comic Book TV Shows Of The Decade

10. Supergirl

Supergirl made history with its debut on CBS by becoming the first female-led superhero series since Lynda Carter's classic Wonder Woman. Centered on Superman's cousin, it tells the story of how Kara Zor-El eventually made it to Earth after her pod got knocked off-course and, after years in hiding, stepped into the light as National City's saviour: Supergirl.

Though the show remained a phenomenon throughout its first season, its move to The CW resulted in it being talked about a little bit less. However, one thing that didn't suffer from less exposure was the narratives because, for the most part, Supergirl has been one of the Arrowverse's most consistent shows.

Granted, some of its dialogue occasionally lets it down, but it thrives on its strong, emotionally-driven storylines that always manage to reflect some of the real world's issues. Sure, it may not be quite as heroic as it once was, but it did reach new storytelling heights in its fourth season which, if anything, suggests that its continued evolution is actually a good thing. Melissa Benoist is also nothing short of a triumph in the titular role, bringing the character to life with ease.

What allows Supergirl to stand out in a very crowded landscape are its rather traditional superhero values. There's just an overwhelming sense of triumph about it that is reminiscent of classic superhero films/TV shows.
