Poll CBS' Supergirl vs Netflix's AKA Jessica Jones (105 votes)

Supergirl 26%
Jessica Jones 53%
Neither.... 11%
BOTH!! 10%

CBS' Supergirl show starring Melissa Benoist as the lead has a synopsis goes a little something like this:

Kara Zor-El after she escapes her home of Krypton as it explodes and has a new life on Earth. She will be taken in by the Danver family who teach her to be very careful with her new powers.

Now in her mid-20s, Kara has spent much of her time repressing those abilities but she still doesn't know herself. A disaster forces her to use her powers in public and she feels good about it and for the first time since coming to Earth, she embraces her super-powers.

Meanwhile, Marvel and Netfilx has teamed up to make a bunch of shows following some of the more street level characters, the first being called "Aka, Jessica Jones" starring Krysten as the lead.

A brief synopsis:

Following a tragic end to her brief superhero career, Jessica Jones tries to rebuild her life as a private eye, dealing with cases involving people with remarkable abilities in New York City.

Both shows haven't had set premiere dates yet, but we can assume they'll have a 2015 release.

So, which show starring these awesome women are you more interested in seeing??

@dagmar_merrill: dont even pay em no attention. They already know JJ is gonna be not just better than SG but one of the best cbtv shows period. On a site like this SG is just immensly more popular and shes related to big blue.

So ther just being super bias.

@saint_wildcard: I was asking for you to elaborate.

Nag! Nag! Nag! Damn nagger! I hate your kind. The private eye concept doesn't appeal to me, just like it didn't appeal to me in the first volume of Fables. I''m consistent on that.

Definitely Jessica Jones. I have little faith in Supergirl being good.

Kara has a soft in my heart so I already sound biased, but when I found out who Jimmy Olsen was (don't get me wrong but like..).. I think I'm shifting to waiting till both shows air..

Not a fair comparison when Supergirl only has 5 episodes compared to Jones's 13. Wait till Supergirl's has a full season under it's belt then compare.

Jessica Jones. While not totally perfect, it's much better than Supergirl.

I refuse to watch DC's shows. I think they do more harm than good. That and Jessica Jones breaks so much ground it's ridiculous to compare.

If you want something light, watch Supergirl. If you want something more dark and realistic and interesting, watch Jessica Jones. I prefer Jessica Jones, I still like Kara Zor-El tho.

They really aren't comparible at all. Other than having female leads there is no similarities between the shows.

It's hilarious how some people voted Supergirl when it is now probably the worst live-action superhero shows currently airing.

Supergirl should do a crossover with The Flash and/or Arrow. the only problem is that Supergirl airs on CBS and The Flash and Arrow both air on CW. I don't know if a team-up with one or more of those shows and Supergirl is possible

I mean sorta, but the type of people who will like one probably aren't the type that will enjoy the other. Jessica Jones vs Daredevil or Arrow would be a much better comparable since they attempt to appeal to similar audiences.

I don't give a crap about JJ. I've watched Supergirl. It's a good show, Melissa is sexy, and the special effects are awesome, good stories so far.

It's funny though that these R rated Netflix shows keep getting compared to the PG shows on tv. Apples and oranges really.

I've watched about nine episodes and five of Supergirl. I voted both but I'm definitely enjoying Supergirl more so far.

JJ feels like a slog to watch at times. Saving grace is that any scene with Kilgrav is usually interesting. I don't think its a decent show but similar to Daredevil, I think it would have been better at 10 episodes instead of 13.

Supergirl, for me, is pretty fun show to watch. It's got a good lead, good special effects and I don't find myself bored with it.
