"La Chica de Acero" = The Girl of Steel
Yes, it's a hit in Spain, too!
Here are some very insightful observations that were written about the show today:
"In my modest view, the series certainly has changed the superhero landscape in a positive, more constructive way than most current hero portrayals and I believe that it could only be done in this way with a female lead protagonist.
The fact that we have seen Kara's growth and maturity (more or less) over the past season and a half has been a bonus. It is rare that we see this type of thing in the genre. Also, the portrayal of the characters as very human and relatable to the average person is also a huge draw."
Yes, the writers and producers have broken new ground here in TV's second century. Supergirl is by far the most human and relatable superhero ever! (One thing that I think has really helped is making her vulnerable to "everyday hazards" - not just kryptonite.)
Of course, the appeal of the character's portrayal has brought me back to writing fiction for the first time since my college years (and that was a long time ago !).
