A few days back, we got the official first-look trailer of upcoming CBS series Supergirl. The trailer was a little more than six-and-a-half-minute-long, and had won a fair amount of hearts, if not all. Even though the series isn't expected to kick-off within the next six months, the pilot episode of Supergirl is already available in a couple of torrent sites, reports Business Insider and a number of other sites.
According to the reports, "˜LOL' and "˜DiMENSiON' are the two torrent sites that have released the download originally, one of which is in 1080p HD format. There aren't any evident watermarks, or any on-screen warning messages about sharing it, or messages about ownership - so, the leaked Supergirl pilot doesn't appear to be a screener – at least apparently. First four episodes of "˜Games of Thrones Season 5' have been leaked in April, but none of them was any better than only DVD-quality.
According to the reports, CBS representatives have declined to comment on the leak of pilot episode. That's nothing unexpected though!
150 Thousands Times Downloaded Already!
According to the reports, the leaked Supergirl pilot episode has already been downloaded for more than 150,000 times. They believe that the number of times the episode is downloaded would cross one-fourth of a million by Saturday morning, and they consider it to be "˜a realistic estimate'.

Supergirl Pilot – Not Error-Free, But Impressive!
Meanwhile, io9 claims that they have watched the leaked pilot episode and provides us a "˜spoiler-free review'. As per their review, in spite of bearing similar issues like the official preview, Supergirl pilot proves to be "˜significantly better than that'. They have also used for the series words like "˜far more charming than problematic' and "˜well worth checking out because it is fun'.
It would be interesting to see if more episodes of the CBS series get leaked before November. Stay tuned for more updates and share your thoughts via comments!
