Summary
Reviewers say 'Superman & Lois' is lauded for its fresh perspective on the superhero, emphasizing his dual roles as a superhero and father. Strong performances by Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch, along with the exploration of family dynamics, are highlighted. However, some criticize the show for CW tropes, inconsistent writing, and portrayal of teenagers. Complaints about pacing, Superman's powers, and social issue integration are noted. Despite these issues, many appreciate the blend of superhero action and family drama.
Featured reviews
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.
The only problem I have with this show is too much teenage drama, too much secrets, many lies, staring scenes (very boring) and it just drags the show down. Plus they say "I'm sorry or I'm so sorry" way too many times. Fight scenes are great and long, not 5 minutes. Superman and Lois are great but the rest of the characters I don't care about. This show is way better than the Flash and Supergirl. Supergirl started great and then it just declined with ridiculous story lines, short fight scenes. They could have approved the show but they didn't. It's too bad The CW canceled this series this year.
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.
I just finished the last episode of season 3 and have to say that Superman & Lois is every bit as good as I thought it would be! Admittedly, I'm huge fan of Superhero movies/shows and Superman and Batman have been my favorite since childhood so I was really looking forward to this since it was announced and has not disappointed. While Henry Cavill is the best Superman ever (my opinion of course) and Tom Welling (Smallville) was the best on TV, Tyler Hoechlin more than held his own and makes a great Superman/Clark Kent! I admit that the kids can be a little annoying at times and are the only negative on a great show. This is the best CW show since the early seasons of Arrow and the Flash. It's too bad it's ending next season.
This is hands down the best rendition of Superman in the last 40 years. I don't say that lightly and I highly respect the contributions of Christopher Reeves and Henry Cavil, but this series truly embodies the ideals of Superman in all aspects.
I cannot recommend this enough for Superman fans (and non Superman fans for that matter).
This series takes Superman in an entirely new direction, yes he's Superman, but he's not trying to figure out who he is or anything like dealing with complexities of hiding his identity
Tyler Hoechlin truly takes the character in a new dimension, Superman being a dad.
Yes, he's still Superman, and you'll see that in the series, but you don't see a tad of the old rehashed hiding his identity storylines.
If you watch this series, I really encourage you to watch all 4 seasons, it has one of the best conclusions to a series I have ever seen. You won't see Tyler Hoechlin pushing a planet, but you will see him inspire us all to be better people. This series and the character qualities he portrays is exactly what the world needs.
