Ok, I finally gave in and watched the first episode...
Thoughts?
I was pleasantly surprised.
While I still have to get used to Tyler Hoechlin as Superman a bit more, he’s earnest, kind, caring, and even flawed. He gives depth to the character. He’s a good actor too. The Lois Lane actress is pretty good too. I like her a lot more than Amy Adams.
I was actually shocked as to how good the special-effects were. These are near big budget movie quality. They make the Supergirl show look like a Sid and Marty Krofft Saturday morning kids show in comparison.
I even like the introduction of the teen sons. Having said that, I rolled up my eyes when they first discovered that their pop is Superman and reacted the way did did. I guarantee you 99% of teens would’ve said; HOLY SHIAT, OUR DAD IS FRIGGIN SUPERMAN, HOW AWESOME IS THAT???”
Anyway, yes, I liked it. Yes, I’ll keep watching.
And yes, I’m eating crow right now...
P.S. One warning though. If they bring in the Arrowverse crap into this series, I’m out. I don’t want to see Supergirl show up and telling Superman’s kids that she’s stronger, faster, better, smarter, and blah, blah, blah than their father. I swear, I will smash my flatscreen, I swear...
