Context
This groundbreaking superhero series started way back in 2015
Started in October 2015, Supergirl brought a fresh perspective into creatures with superpower.
Melissa's character had to match the otherwise unparalleled rule of male superheroes, an image the show broke with interesting storylines.
Gun control, immigration, feminism and an introduction to TV's first transgender superhero Dreamer were few intriguing themes highlighted by the show that paves way for spin-off series Superman & Lois.
