Arrowverse: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best
25. Supergirl Season 5
A new suit, new storyline and dramatic change to the status quo all presented the Supergirl writers with a solid foundation to follow in Season 4's strong footsteps. Unfortunately, Season 5 ran out of steam pretty quickly.
Leviathan were such vanilla antagonists that the show needed to rely on Lex Luthor once more but even then it wasn't long before things fell into the same old cycle. And speaking of the same-old-cycle, Lena Luthor's mind-numbing I'm-not-the-villain-but-hey-let's-act-like-the-villain shtick was long past its sell-by date.
It's by no means the worst the Arrowverse has to offer, but it is a flat offering that abandons subplots because Crisis, struggles to juggle all of its characters and relies on the tired old Kara/Lena conflict that the show would be much better off without.
