Some shows know exactly what they are and want to continue to be from the first moments. However, a large percentage of shows tweak characters, tones and formats throughout their first couple of seasons. Now in its first year, Supergirl has gone through some growing pains through its first few episodes, but following a big reveal just before its winter hiatus, the DC Comics-oriented series has started to work some of the kinks out. Still, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, who also works on the CW’s Flash and Arrow, says he knows Supergirl has had some problems. Here’s what he had to say in a recent interview:
Arrow took a while to find itself. Arrow needed Felicity which it didn’t have early on, and it had voiceover, which it didn’t need. Whereas The Flash came out like The Flash — you can watch the pilot and the finale back to back and it’s the same show. Supergirl was one of those shows that had a learning curve on how to make it and how to tell the stories and the audience’s part on how to watch it.
