Synopisis:

Beyond explanation... beyond understanding... lies the truth. Emergence is coming to ABC. A character-driven genre thriller, "Emergence" is about a police chief who takes in a young child she finds near the site of a mysterious accident who has no memory of what has happened. The investigation draws her into a conspiracy larger than she ever imagined, and the child's identity is at the center of it all.

Jon Cryer has been a little corny at times playing Lex Luthor, but some of that have to do with it being on The CW. lol. But last night's episode was pretty good.

I think he has done a good job considering the material he has been given. I agree with you for the most part. The CW doesn't really let supergirl get gritty. It's a shame, because I am under the impression that he is holding back for the sake of PG-13 television.

Supergirl is really the only Arrowverse show I look forward to watching. Yes, it has it's bad episodes, but the good outweighs the bad and sometimes it boarders on great. They're actually trying to do something relevant with the show by addressing some of the very same topics (social/societal effects of superheroes' actions on the common man) that are talked about here in this very forum. Almost to the point of me wondering if a member of the writing staff doesn't lurk here from time to time.

Again, still not a great program. But, they're trying and, 70% of the time, it shows.

I admit I haven't given it much of a chance since they blew up the Kara-Jimmy thing at the start of season 2 (still some of the worst tv writing I've ever seen). The only episodes I've seen since then are the two earliest Superman episodes (love him), one of the first Lex Luthor episodes (curious), and the Arrowverse crossover episodes (for completeness).

I guess I've pretty much written it off, only looking back when something in particular piques my interest. Intrigued to hear it's gotten better than I remember from episode 1 of season 2 lol

So I guess it's safe for me to assume that Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor on "Supergirl" is inferior to Michael Rosenbaum's Lex Luthor on "Smallville"?

Not inferior, just different. Enjoyable, but not as dark as it could or should be. Supergirl doesn’t really allow the show to go dark. It did when it was on the other station.

They were teasing it during the Reign arch. Other than Manchester Black she was one of the best Villains on the CW.
