New Series Supergirl Packs A Mean Punch

Supergirl is now on HOOQ!!! HOOQ is Asia’s largest video-on-demand service. So many lined up series to watch but I am definitely adding this one of my list. The show is about Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman, as she tries to get used to a new public persona while dealing with her very real human relationships, realizing her full superhero potential and discovering how she can help the citizens of National City. 

“It’s funny because in my everyday life, I have always been such a pacifist, “says Melissa Benoit who plays Supergirl. “The butt kicking is new to me. That’s a new muscle I’m flexing, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I liked it.” She also has rigorous physical training, but she loves that she can be a great role model not just for girls but anyone how fearlessness can push one overcome the odds.

Also starring in the hit TV series is Calista Flockhart who plays Cat Grant, the CEO of CatCo World Media where Supergirl works as her assistant. Flockhart has expressed her excitement in the past to work on a show that “embraces… and celebrates Girl Power.” Not that she is any stranger to shows that celebrate strong female roles as Flockhart first gained television superstardom through the quintessential workplace comedy Ally McBeal, wherein she played the titular character. They are joined by Mehcad Brooks from Deperate Housewives as Jimmy Olsen and Chyler Leigh from Grey’s Anatomy as Kara’s adoptive sister Alex Danvers. “I’m excited to be stepping into a show like this because I’m the wild card,” Leigh says. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring something new into what everybody knows already.” There’a also David Harewood from Homeland as DEO agent Hank Henshaw. “In the comics, my character ends up becoming Cyborg Superman, who battles Superman. I’m looking forward to that!”
