Honestly, I had a hard time getting through Season 4 BECAUSE of the political commentary. I think at any other time I could have gone with it, but considering how closely it mirrored the rise of far-right groups in the US, and how plugged into the news I was at the time.... I wanted to watch Supergirl to ESCAPE from that, not get even more. Plus Red Daughter was criminally underused. The saving grace was the introduction of Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor.
Season 5 felt like they wanted to do social commentary on our reliance on technology, but it just came off as ham-fisted and amateurish. Plus they immediately ruined the character of Kelly for me by taking a shrink and also making her a tech genius that was working with VR, and then proceeded to have her be able to do whatever the plot dictated she needed to do, logic be damned.
Season 6- I don't think I've ever watched a show where you can tell that the writers have completely stopped giving a damn. I went with the first half- I LIKED the first half. I thought it was a good compromise to deal with several external factors. But the second half of the season... Jesus Christ. I think what solidifies the writers' lack of care for me is the fact that Mxly had the opportunity to send Nxly back to the Phantom Zone, decides not to do it, and tells KARA not to do it, because, I believe., he now feels it was wrong to send her there in the first place. So how do they end up resolving the conflict? Nxly gets sent back to the Phantom Zone anyway. I mean, what the hell?! The only good thing the second half of season 6 did was that Alex adopted a child, got married, and became the head of the DEO once more, presumably without any further interference.
