"Supergirl" and "Crisis on Earth-X"
I am not a big fan of shows with lots of biff, bam, knockem-sockem action but have become a dedicated watcher of "SuperGirl." First I like the protraying of strong women, not just those with super powers and the interaction of the characters. They are multi racial, multi gender and more then terrestrial beings good and bad with all sorts in between. They have not shied away from lots of controversial topics which can be extrapolated to our political realities.
The "Crisis on Earth-X" pulled out all stops. The main thing is that real heroes stand together against NAZIs. In the mulitverse one Earth X the NAZIs won and wanted to take over other worlds. Lots of biff, bam, knockem-sockem action but it was well worth watching 4 hours including commercials over 2 days.
Are the writers of these shows playing to the sentiments of young people. I am 67 so am a bit removed. My generation knew that the NAZIs were ever the enemy- it appalls me that so many of a similar age have forgotten what our Dad's fought and lots died for.

Multiversity/Mastermen A storyline where Superman as a baby crashes into Nazi Germany - thus allowing them to win WW2.

Also notable because the resistance included Phantom Lady (who is Jewish), Ray (who is Gay), Black Condor (who is Black) and Doll Man and Doll Woman (who are Jehova's witnesses). Anyway - I run hot and cold on that issue; but it certainly made me think so that is good.
Also the comic opens with a shot of Hitler on the toilet.

We watch all four shows, so a cross-over event is always awesome. If I have a bone to pick, it is this: while on Earth-X, despite having obvious Nazis, they never explicitly call out things which should have been called out, such as the heroes ending up on Earth-X in a "camp". Usually, when a new location is on screen, unseen before, there is a tag telling the viewer where they are. It should have read: Earth-X: Nazi Concentration Camp (though I flipped when I saw "Arbeit Macht Frei" on the gate, as I just had been to Dachau and Auschwitz two months ago). Also, when Jax asked Ray what his pink triangle stood for, he replied: "For loving the wrong person". He should have said "Because I am gay!" I also disliked they glossed over the fact there are Jewish characters on the show and their obvious revulsions to going to a world where Nazis won, though the scene with Earth-X Felicity wearing the yellow Star of David was a welcomed touch. Also, when Earth-1 Felicity stood up to the evil Green Arrow (the new Führer) and said her grandparents didn't' survive the Holocaust for her to now not stand against Nazis was good, but fell too late in the narrative, IMO.
It was AWESOME seeing two men ACTUALLY kiss on TV...multiple times!!! Both actors are also gay. Barry Allen's comment to Oliver Queen, upon seeing him in a tux; "Dammmnnn!" was funny as hell! All the shows are OK about showing gay and lesbian characters, though, gay men get the short end of the stick. I also loved the "Black Lightning" commercials, and can't wait for that show to come on in the spring.
Sad to see "Grey" go.
