First I'd like to burst a few bubbles here. I've noticed that some one star reviews have an issue with how some of the characters on 'Krypton' are portrayed. Screaming political correctness like every other urchin that looses his/her mind whenever they see a character that doesn't look the way they want that character to look.

Now I will reach across the aisle for a moment and say here that I dislike shows that make PC the center theme of the plot. 'DC: Legends of tomorrow' are notorious for this. I don't need to be reminded every episode that that one character is gay every time she/he hits the screen. I get it, move the plot forward. But when I see viewers beginning to complaining over what a character looks like, especially a character we've never seen or heard of before, then you just need to stfu.

I stumbled upon one such reviewer who claimed to have used "logic" in his/her analysis of 'Krypton.' This user had an issue with the Zod characters being black. "How was Zod in 'Man of Steel' Caucasian but the Zods here are black? Seems very PC to me Lolz."

Apparently this person's "logic" failed them. First off there is no such thing as a "Caucasian Kryptonian" there is no such thing as a "Black Kryptonian." Taking a step back, obvious the characters are portrayed by black and white actors and actress... but haven't you heard of suspended belief in sci-fi? Non of these characters are human. They are ALIENS from an alien society! Secondly, the Zod and El names are house names not family names. Lastly, Kryptonians are born Gatica style. There are no natural births (that we're aware of) until Superman comes around. Kryptonains are adopted into these houses so they can look like whatever they like.

"But... But you don't see no one trying to make Black Panther white though." Well Black Panther is a human being from Africa, not an alien born in a test tube from another planet.

Anyway with that aside. I'd like to say that this show is great for the DC Universe. For one, I like the fact that the same writers who were behind many of DC's animated series are also behind this show. DC animations are excellent in my books, far better than Marvel animations due to the fact that DC animations focus more so on the everyday side of superheroes and their reception to the broader public that they have sworn themselves to protect. I also like how DC villains come off more sinister and darker than Marvel villains.

Grant it I never took the time to learn about Superman's origin, this is a great story line. I thought it was going to be boring but it's not. It's also not very fast - each episode has a reason and purpose so bare with it. I highly recommend for any comic lover. I don't even like Superman but this show isn't bad!

As a fan of the Superman films old and new I was pleasantly suprised at this refreshing take on a story thats been told as many times as the death of Bruce Waynes parents. It's not without its issues, the acting is a bit wooden and emotionless in parts but its got my interest for now. Some people have commented on the CGI being poor, i'm thinking the exact opposite, I think its pretty good for a TV show. It's a bit strange seeing Krypton with such a modern look but thats just me thinking back to the Christopher Reeve days. Let's see how the next bunch of episodes unfold but I will be watching the next one thats for sure.

Apparently if you like a show these days you are automatically a fake account. Of course these opinions are from the same people who believe that because your parents are British you should have a British accent. Forget the fact that you were never exposed to them or their culture in the first place and instead raised on a farm in rural America. I digress.

This is an interesting new show set in the DC Universe Obviously revolving around the Superman mythos. Unfortunately much Like the rash of crazed fanboys who continually slated the new Star Trek series (solid 9 by the way, do yourself a favor and binge the whole 1st season before you judge), Many reviewers feel that you should not watch this for yourself, just because they said so.

Yes most of the actors have British accents and yes you will probably dislike some of them but aren't emotions what a decent show is supposed to evoke? It's a good start and yes there's room for improvement but there is plenty of opportunity for good story lines and I for one will finish out the full first season before I make a final decision.

Seg-El and Adam Strange and the Collector of worlds, Val-El, Lyta Zod all excellent. Villians are strong and story line deep - Keep it going writers. I hate spoilers so you will get none from me. Enjoy

I was and am intrigued by the story line but unfortunately there have been some serious errors in the casting of this series. A number of the players come across as if they had been dragged from "The Bill" or "East Enders".

Not sure what the haters are on about. I think this series is great so far. Love the action, the actors and story line. The CGI is real good as well. I would certainly give it a shot. Can't wait until the next one is out!!!!

I normally never write a review, but when i read the first 20 or so reviews, i feel bad when i see the low ratings and bad reviews. So I need to say something.

Don't be fooled by the bad reviews!!! If you like sci-fi's you also love this. There are many series's that are so much worse then this. Especially when you like superman you just need to see this. Enjoy!!!

This is NOT a super hero serie, so if u expect that do not give a bad review just because it is no super hero serie!!!!!

It's 200 years before the birth of Superman. As a child, his grandfather Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe) witnessed Seg's grandfather Val-El being sent into the Phantom Zone for opposing the new isolationist government and the House of El was stripped of its rank. He would grow up struggling with the lost of his family's standing. He is warned of impending doom from Brainiac by Earth time traveler Adam Strange. He has a secret relationship with Lyta Zod (Georgina Campbell). Her mother kills his parents for being part of the Black Zero rebellion. The big villains include Brainiac and General Zod from the future who is the child of Lyta and Seg-El.

I like the world of Krypton. I like most of the characters but I can do without Adam. I'm not familiar with this classic DC character. Quite frankly, I hope that character is much better than this. More than anything, Adam is unnecessary. He takes away agency from Seg-El. He muddies the water and diminishes the lead character. I want Seg-El to fight for his own reasons rather than some unknowable descendant or some preordained future. Adam is a tightly constricted guard rail forcing the story to its inevitable conclusion which leads to the show's main difficulty. It is a prequel and the story is obviously not allowed to have freedom of movement. It's two seasons and it runs out of steam by the second season although it does have the fun of introducing Lobo.

I loved the show until episode 8, when I kinda just felt that there wasn't enough action, and it was just acting like a soap opera, it lost my attention quickly, I think what they tried to do was good, but the execution was poor, and some the plot points ended up quite cliche. I would be happy to watch this as I love the DCEU, but this was just dry.

I understand that it's cool to have an origin story to Superman, which is way better than Supergirl, but they needed to think of more plot twists. Possibly the main reason I disliked the show was because of the lack of action. I think the budget and production values are good, but they needed more set-pieces and intrigue than just relying on peoples attention spans. Maybe it's just me, but this isn't as good as other sci-fi programs I've seen. I would had rather seen another series of 'Dark Matter', another amazing show from this company than this.

I'm out on this... won't be coming back for Series 2! Scores (out of 10) Production Design= 8 Acting=6 Visual Effects=7 Script=4 Action=2

Krypton is reminiscent of its predecessors, Smallville, The Flash, and even Hercules and Xena Warriro Princess. It's pure comic book pulp. Even the dialogue is choppy and incomplete, as if you were reading panel by panel. The story is good enough, but the acting by is absolute cheese and would make William Shatner proud!

The character of Lyta is absolutely infuriating and her scenes are barely watchable. She is not believable as a "warrior". She's not believable as a leader.

Wallis Day as Nysa Vex is far and away the highlight of the show and really one of the only viable reasons to watch.

Overall, it works and it's worth a watch.

Some reviewers took exception to the actors having British accents. I thought it gave the show an exotic unworldly effect. Besides 200 years ago Americans would have had pretty much an English style of speech. The sets were interesting but not exciting. The fellow with the Detroit Tigers baseball cap and hoodie looks like he could be Ron Howard coming from the future intent on rewriting The Davinci Code.

Its amazing that the story started from the roots, and not the omnipotent superman........ i love it, i have watched up to the episode 4 and i just cant wait for more. i would love it more if a story is made to make superman more powerful and distinguishing from other kryptonites.

The story of Krypton should be a Chernobyl like mini series. Done right it would have so much potential...Alas, these days creativity and a well thought out story is not as important as having a cast of beautiful model like actors with the bone structure to strike the Zoolander look on will. I have to confess that I couldn't watch more than 5 minutes of the pilot. Krypton was a civilization that "flourished for one hundred thousand years, accomplishing wonders". Imagine the endless possibilities within that quote for a great opening scene for the pilot. And what do we get? A quick trial and sentencing from like medieval times in human history, but worse. And the first scene of Cameron Cuffe as Seg-El in a bar fight, A F@&!#G BAR FIGHT. Are you kidding me?! This Kryptonian bar even has draught beer taps. Seriously where is the creativity these days?

I liked it. I think most of the negative reviews are a little dramatic considering it's the pilot. Definitely has potential. Can't wait for more!

I've watched the 1st and 2nd episodes, so far. And I don't get all the complaints... they're a bit nonsensical. Anyway, here's what I think of the show :)

~ Well-written characters and a favourable cast! Honestly, you feel what you're supposed to, concerning the characters.

~ Reminiscent of Man of Steel (2013) and even Superman (1978), especially the music... obviously, that's all intended, especially the connection to the DC cinematic universe, to some extent.

~ Powerful soundtrack.

~ The CGI and production (sets, mainly but the costumes as well) are "super" impressive!

~ An enthralling plot with excellent pace that keeps you wanting more... so much that I audibly groaned when the episode ended!

AT LEAST WATCH IT FOR YOURSELF BEFORE DECIDING.

The earthling is annoying. The role reversals are becoming hard to keep up with in terms of who is good, who is bad, why??? The city is full of idiots who have no idea Brainiac took over their cult. The love affairs are weak, just get it to where they are supposed to be and carry on. I have no idea why the bartender has so much know how. The holes are plenty but I record it so I can skip through it to make it 35-40 minutes pretty quick. It is still better than Justice League.

I had a lot of hope for this spin-off.

However, endless sobbing and drawn out, low key talking just killed about every ounce of enthusiasm I had.

The storyline was not helping, despite my efforts.

The acting was about as good as possible given the material they had to work with.

I kept thinking to myself, who is this actually made for?

I am a sci-fi boff, so it takes quite a bit to knock me off focus. But this done it.

I am really glad it is cancelled. It should have been cancelled in capital letters!

I guess the only spoiler I can come with is that nothing there is worth spoiling.

This story jumps around a lot with little or no indication of what time frame you are supposed to be witnessing. After awhile, you lose track of how the characters are related to each other and, frankly, don't care. Simplifying the story line and having all of the characters be from the same time would help a lot.

Which is why I can give this show no less than three stars. BUT, there are a lot of things I don't like about this show. I have watched nine episodes of this show now and there have been a number of physical fights between men and women. Not even ONE of those fights is won by the male. Most of the lead characters have an accent that is irritating. They all talk like they are from Ireland or something. You would think that all Zods are black, but it only focuses on the black Zod characters. There was a white Zod character, but he lost a fight to a black female Zod. One of those fights I mentioned before. This show is riddled with political correctness. Women physically equal to or stronger than men while outsmarting men, black people being half the main cast just for the sake of having black people in the show. I wonder what Asians and Mexicans think of being left out of this forced diversity. If you can get passed men being lesser to women in every way and the in your face diversity, you might enjoy this because it has a connection to Superman, but really, I doubt this show goes very far.

This show is so bad that it reminds me of the time I accidentally ran headfirst into the wall 87 Times! And it's not just bland, it's bad on so many levels. The characters are some of the worst I've ever seen, the story is worse than my grandma Easter's tuna casserole, every color in the show is either black or dark grey, the comedy isn't funny, and the only thing I like about the show IS BRANIAC! To be honest I gave up on Krypton after 2 episodes and decided it wasn't worth my time, so maybe the show gets better, but I dought it. If you are looking for a good DC show, turn to the flash or arrow, and avoid this price of garbage at all costs!
