Honestly, I think people are underplaying just how GOOD a start this is for a network television superhero show. A few years ago, we have the first season of Arrow, which wanted to downplay even its street level heroics to such a degree that the life was sucked out of the concept until they finally let the handcuffs off. Then a year later, Agents of SHIELD, same thing, trying to do comics without the comics.
Now we have a show on CBS of all places that has basically gone all in on its concept in its first two episodes. No dancing around her powers or easing into the concept with mundane enemies. Shes already fought two aliens, we've seen a cabal of evil Kryptonians, shes also told a ton of people about her so we don't need endless secrecy plots.
This is an incredible start, especially when you consider the million ways they could have pussyfooted around this.
