The CW series Supergirl had a rocky journey from day one. It premiered on CBS and was almost canceled after its first season. Eventually, it was moved to The CW and gained popularity, becoming one of the fan favorites in the Arrowverse. Last week, fans got some bad news as the network announced that the upcoming season of the show will be its last.

Prominent among the cast and crew that have expressed their love for the show and for the experience of making it, is filmmaker Kevin Smith who directed several episodes of the series. On his show Fatman Beyond, smith talked with his co-host Marc Bernardin about the show’s ending and said that he had the time of his life working on the show.

“Working on that show was some of the best times I’ve had in my life, professionally and personally,” Smith said. “I’m so glad that show exists. I loved it before I directed on it, just thought, ‘God, her relationship with her sister is so beautiful.'”

He went on to compliment the show’s star Melissa Benoist on her professionalism. “She was always wonderful,” he said.

Smith also emphasized he would love to direct one of the series’ final episodes.
