Better Angels Ratings & Reviews
Polygon
Colin Campbell
Supergirl cedes the whole whizz-kebang thing and goes straight for the inexpensive but tricky-to-write human stuff.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
While not necessarily crashing, Supergirl's season finale certainly didn't stick the landing. On that front, it stayed in line with the season's overall inconsistent tone.
The Young Folks
Allyson Johnson
It can't be said enough just how perfectly Benoist embodies Supergirl.
IGN Movies
Max Nicholson
Nevertheless, this episode ended strong, thanks to an emotionally charged climax and an intriguing cliffhanger.
TV Fanatic
Stacy Glanzman
All those goodbyes were emotionally draining, but Melissa Benoist knocked each one out of the park.
Entertainment Weekly
Chancellor Agard
Yes, the resolution of the Kara vs. Alex fight was the tropiest of all tropes, but, it works.
AV Club
Caroline Siede
For all this season's flaws - and there are a lot of them - "Better Angels" highlights just how far Supergirl has come over the course of the past 20 episodes.
Tell-Tale TV
Samantha Coley
The episode delivers high stakes action, and leaves the show's audience with an satisfying sense of hope, joy, and excitement for more.
Screen Rant
Andrew Dyce
But after twenty episodes, the fact that nobody realized the people on Kara's side were infinitely more deserving of time than those against her is astounding.
ScreenCrush
Kevin Fitzpatrick
The emotional beats were all fairly-well tended, even as some of the heavier action elements ended up a bit rushed, or hand-waved away, particularly the complete undoing of Myriad via Kara's big speech.
The Mary Sue
Teresa Jusino
If this were a random, middle-of-the-season episode, I might be a little hard on it... As an End of the Season episode on a show that isn't sure they're getting a second season, however, the episode seems perfect.
Digital Spy
Emma Dibdin
For all its flaws, it's impossible to dislike a show this unapologetically earnest and big-hearted.
Den of Geek
Mike Cecchini
So, it pains me to say it... But "Better Angels" wasn't one of the show's stronger efforts. A handful of moments aside, it wasn't really worthy of being the season finale, either.
Nerdist
RV Walker
Overall, Supergirl and CBS triumphed in making a superhero saga that was light and cheerful as opposed to dark and gritty.
CBR
Allison Shoemaker
There are things to dislike about "Better Angels"... But like nearly every episode of "Supergirl" to date, the things that work best soar because the show was smart enough to put two really remarkable, earnest performers at the center of its heart.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Siddhant Adlakha
If you've ever lost your faith in heroes for any reason, I do hope you find it again. That's what Supergirl would want.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Joshua Rivera
In the end, it's simple: Supergirl works because it has conviction.
