Superman & Lois

What a refreshing take on Superman again. I finally feel like I'm watching the character I've been reading for the last 30+ years. They get him so right! The cinematography is amazing and it feels like I'm watching a movie each week and not a TV show. I'm so happy CW/WB green lit this show because it's the best Superman portrayal in the last 15 years.

Superman & Lois is far more entertaining than its fairly generic title might suggest. The series makes the most of Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch's chemistry, utilizing the two characters and their romance in a way Supergirl never could. Superman & Lois may feel utterly divorced from the rest of the Arrowverse, but that's just as likely to be a selling point for many viewers. The only thing to hope from this show that it remains a balanced blend of genres but not a soap opera like others on CW. However, the premier is really likeable and that intense cinematography gives a touch of man of Steel mixed in Smallville. Really hope the writing and script remains creative and entertaining.

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.

"Superman & Lois" shines with family dynamics and thrilling action.

Superman and Lois is the best DC CW show outside of Arrow. Tyler Hoechlin is so much better than I expected as Superman and Clark Kent. I hope he continues to play this character for years. They probably could've cast a better Lois though, Elizabeth Tulloch is just not a good Lois Lane and looks much older than her age for some reason. This is a Superman show unlike any that's ever been made, it focuses a lot more on his family and his personal life than we've ever seen. I didn't think I would like that part of the show as much but I do, they make it very interesting and of course all the scenes with him as Superman are amazing. It has a cinematic feel to it. I definitely recommend this show to any superhero fan.
