Supergirl Season 4 Blu-Ray review: What to expect
By Cody Schultz
Season 4 of Supergirl drops on Blu-Ray and DVD today, so what better time to take a deep dive into the release with a look at the series’ 4-disc Blu-Ray collection!
This season, Supergirl will soar back onto The CW’s lineup for its fifth season; a season which promises the return of familiar faces, departure of long-time favorites and plenty of unforgettable new twists and challenges for our favorite Arrowverse heroine! Before Season 5 kicks off this October, though, fans can relive all the action from the show’s fourth season as it arrives in stores on Blu-Ray and DVD!
"“After four strong seasons, Supergirl continues to develop a strong fan following and soars in the ratings,” said Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, Television Marketing. “We’re excited to release the Blu-ray and DVD with in-depth bonus content in addition to the 22 action-packed episodes. Fans and newcomers alike can catch up on all their favorite moments from season four and prepare for the highly anticipated fifth season of this hit series.”"
Thanks to the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment team, we received a review copy of Supergirl: The Complete Fourth Season providing us the chance to take an in-depth look at the 4-disc set and what makes it stand out from the crowd!
About the Release – What to Expect
About the Season
"“In season four, Supergirl faces a bigger threat than she’s ever faced before – a new wave of anti-alien sentiment, spreading across National City that’s fomented by Agent Liberty,” Warner Bros. Home Entertainment reflects of Season 4. “As Kara mentors a new reporter at CatCo, Nia Nal, and tries to use the power of the press to shine a light on the issues threatening to tear the city apart, Supergirl takes to the skies to battle the many villains who rise up in this era of divisiveness. But how does Supergirl battle a movement when she, herself an alien, represents one of the main things people are fearful of?”"

Final Thoughts – Is it Worth Buying?
While the show’s freshman season will always hold a special place in my heart – thanks largely to the incomparable Calista Flockhart’s Cat Grant – Season 4 proved to be a standout for the series. From its beautiful handling of the immigration storyline at the heart of the season to the defining moments in proving the pen can be just as might as the cape, the writers weren’t afraid to take creative risks and the result was arguably the show’s strongest creative season to-date.
The strength of the season alone was enough to put the title on my radar, but Warner Bros. Home Entertainment continues to set their home releases aside from the crowd in providing fans with additional bonus content that essentially serves as the cherry on top.
From a plethora of deleted scenes from the season’s various episodes to new bonus featurettes which give fans a behind the scenes look at the season, there is plenty of new material to dive into and enjoy on the 4-disc collection!
