One of my favorite things about this show is the excellent casting. Melissa Benoist is perfect as the young heroine who wants to be accepted by her friends and respected by her colleagues, but knows she must reconcile her "average girl" ambitions and desires with her role as one of the most powerful people on the planet.
Of particular note is the selection of Mehcad Brooks as Jame Olsen. Instead of the usual annoying bumbling airhead fanboy, we get an admirable Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist and war correspondent. Chyler Leigh as step-sister and best friend Alex Danvers is also an inspired choice.
I am convinced that if the scores of all those boys who react to any female hero with knee jerk misogynist criticism and condemnation were subtracted from the whole, this show would earn a rating in the high 7's at least.
