Superman and Lois

I think this is one of the best Superman shows to date.

The stories are well written and the final season so far has been stellar. Tyler makes a great superman and a really good Clark Kent. Elizabeth also makes a great Lois and I love how they slowly developed the story with both of his kids. I will be sad to see it go honestly, but the writers so far are doing a good job with the final season in its story telling. I hope it stays that way =) I wish this would have lasted as long as Smallville did although I was less impressed at Smallville the last few seasons personally. I hope they make some sort of tv movie in the future, but probably won't since supposedly this is ending because of the James Gunn stuff which I think is ridiculous, if true.

Superman & Lois does not feel like it belongs in the CW's Arrowverse. This is much higher quality entertainment in terms of acting, writing, budget, etc.

When I first saw pics of Superman from the show, I didn't buy Tyler Hoechlin as Supes. He looks great as a werewolf, but I thought his features were too unique to play the "All-American everyman" that Clark Kent/Superman is supposed to be. Now I'm 6 episodes into season 1, and I'm happy to say I couldn't be more wrong. His portrayal of both the man and the Superman feel so genuine that I can actually believe people wouldn't see through the disguise. Honestly, this feels more like a continuation of the WB show 'Smallville' than a CW Arrowverse show. Aside from the lead, the acting all around is superb.

You can really feel Geoff Johns influence in the writing, as well. The pacing is perfect, and the story (thus far) is compelling and tense. Despite the thinly-veiled Morgan Edge/Donald Trump allegory; the writers don't often stoop to lazy writing, and the political messaging is not heavy-handed (for the most part) and it feels character-appropriate.

I loved Henry Cavill's run as the Man of Steel, but Tyler's portrayal is the truest distillation of Superman since Christopher Reeve. He really captures the essence of Clark Kent as a Kansas farm boy, and the alien Kal-El. The icing on the cake is seeing Superman as a father, which is new and interesting.

Superman & Lois has received a lot of praise for its fresh take on the iconic superhero by portraying not just Superman, but Clark Kent, as a relatable, devoted father. The show delves deeply into his dual roles of world-saving superhero and everyday dad, creating a unique dynamic that resonates with male viewers, particularly fathers. What stands out is how it humanizes Clark, showing the internal struggle of balancing his responsibilities to the world and his family, which is a refreshing contrast to typical superhero stories.

Clark's portrayal as a father is one of the most positive aspects of the show. He's protective, caring, and genuinely invested in raising his teenage sons, Jonathan and Jordan, who face their own struggles. It's compelling to see Superman, who is typically seen as invincible, navigating the very real challenges of fatherhood-whether it's supporting a son with powers or helping the other deal with more human issues like fitting in. This version of Clark is incredibly relatable, making him a grounded figure despite his superhuman abilities.

In parallel, Lois' father, General Sam Lane, offers another strong father figure. Though initially tough and pragmatic due to his military background, Sam's character development highlights his care for his family, even when his protective instincts clash with Clark's and Lois' more empathetic approaches. His relationship with Clark also adds layers to the traditional father-in-law dynamic, showcasing respect, tension, and ultimately shared love for family.

The show excels in portraying fatherhood from two very different but complementary perspectives: Clark, the nurturing and hands-on dad, and Sam, the stern yet caring patriarch. Both men demonstrate different approaches to love, sacrifice, and duty toward their families. Their roles are powerful reminders that being a father, whether to a superhuman or an ordinary child, comes with complex responsibilities, yet the love they have for their families always shines through.

Superman & Lois takes these iconic characters and makes them more relatable by focusing on their roles as fathers, offering a refreshing and heartwarming perspective on family life. For viewers, especially male fathers, it's a heartfelt reminder of the importance of family, no matter the challenges.

Who would've thought that Superman, the Man of Steel, would end up in Smallville, tangled in family drama, mortgages, and PTA meetings? "Superman & Lois" reboots the hero we know (and sometimes feel we know too well) by letting us in on the most human chapter of his life: being a dad, husband, and trying to fit in among us mere mortals. But don't worry - the laser eyes, super-speed, and world-saving are all still there, just with a side of high school angst and neighborhood gossip.

Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch sell the classic couple dynamic with chemistry as magnetic as kryptonite to Superman himself. Watching Superman try to raise teenagers is a plot twist, especially when he's forced to confront a threat more daunting than Lex Luthor: keeping secrets from moody teens who definitely did not sign up to be half-Kryptonian. Between grounding his sons and stopping the next apocalypse, Superman shows us it's tough being super when you're in a family that still needs to be home by dinner.

"Superman & Lois" delivers high-octane action with enough family drama to make it relatable, because, deep down, who doesn't love seeing a guy who can bench-press a mountain have to juggle work-life balance? If you're into superheroics with a slice of suburban life and a dash of humanity, this show gives Clark Kent the glow-up he deserves.

I'm bummed that they ended this show! It was such a fun ride! I loved how it explored much of what made Clark, Clark! Obviously not as well as they did in Smallville but that show began when Clark was a teenager and this one with him already being a father.

Tyler Hoechlin did a fantastic job at playing Superman! His acting was strong throughout the series and I felt for the character. I admired how he was with his family and I bought into it. He did a great job! :)

Now - this show had it's problems, yeah. When this all took place is kind of confusing for people who both know the characters as well as for new fans, I'd think at least. I mean, who all has Superman already battled against at this point? Him being Superman has already been established - but we don't know when it's happening.

The supporting cast is strong as well, I feel. I enjoyed watching Clark's family grow and mature over the series. Lol, I know that I didn't behave like his son's! Hahaha, if I would have I'd of gotten smacked once or twice. :P Whatever though - it's a series set in a new time, obviously there will be some things that are a bit off.

The villains in this one aren't super entertaining, I feel. I enjoyed some of their arcs but mostly it wasn't my thing. It's all good though, I was there to watch Superman be Superman. :)

Glad to have watched it but I felt that the show could have lasted another season or two, That's my only complaint with this one. :) GIVE ME MORE! :P.
