The series even nods to this fact in Karas narration in the opening sequence.
After so many years of being lost, I am finally home, says our favorite Kryptonian hero.
Yes, at times its clunky, but the shows feels a lot more confident, which is reassuring.

So, lets dive into the episode.
(Note: At this point they dont know his name.)
Kara has quite a lot on her mind in the premiere.
Plus, she has her first date with James.
As Superman, Hoechlin is perfectly fine.
He has Supermans winning smile and warm personality; however, hes missing a certain air of authority.
She also says that shes trying to step out of her familys criminal shadow by renaming her company.
Further investigation reveals Lex Luthor hired wanted criminalJohn Corben(Frederick Schmidt) to kill his noble sister Lena.
Kara has to go see Cat, who delivers a classic Cat Grant inspirational speech.
The question is, Kiera, what the hell is wrong with you?
This speech, along with pretty much every other Cat Grant moment, was a highlight of the episode.
It was funny and inspiring while not being too hammy.
He tries to topple a nearby building to distract the Kryptonians while he goes after Lena.
Thankfully, Alex is also there and has a pretty impressive fight scene with him.
Meanwhile above, Supergirl is able to stabilize the building, making her big cousin rather proud.
And, Corben is put down when Lena manages to put two bullets in his back.
Overall, this was a strong start for the season, but not exactly smooth.
However, the episode rebounded with the natural sibling chemistry between Benoist and Hoechlin and Flockharts fierce performance.
