Superman & Lois (reaction)

[Wee67]

Still enjoying the show, but the latest episode had multiple characters making stupid choices just to prolong storylines, a hallmark of CW shows that this series has avoided for the most part. I hope they don't slide into that. It's what eventually made The Flash all but unwatchable for me.

I am enjoying this show, but, I have to admit, I watch with an apprehension that it's just a matter of time to CW-ize. The CW/DC shows I did like have always devolved into what my wife calls "Lana Time." That's from the end of Smallville, when the action faded and they'd spend 10 minutes on the teen drama that has come to hallmark CW series. But until then, I'll keep watching.

I'd always been kinda curious about this one. I think Tyler is maybe my second favorite Superman as far as appearance since Reeve. He really looks the part to my eyes. Our CW signal quality locally is abysmal so I generally don't watch anything from them. It looks like I'd have to pay Prime 25 bucks per season? I've already got HBO Max, Disney and Hulu. I seriously don't need to add Vudu or whatever the crap they are. But, I'm intrigued by the premise of the show...

The CW app is free my dude.

Not sure where Tyler ranks is my eyes, clearly below Saint Christopher and George. But I believe him as Clark and Clark in this universe so that's all that matters.

The CW app is free, and new episodes drop Wednesday after the original over-air broadcast on Tuesday. That's how we watch it.

The swerve in the last episode WOULD have surprised me, but cheeky posts at Superman Homepage.com clued me into what was going on. Sigh.

There's a free CW app. No fees, subs or sign-ins. At least, that's how it worked the last time I used it. Also, the most recent three or so episodes stream free with ads on the website.

i believe HBO max airs it, but you will probably have to wait till the end of the season to get it there

Beware the internet!

I went looking for a brief synopsis to catch me up and ran smack dab into "spoiler" pics from later in the season. Nothing really unexpected, I guess, but I would like to have discovered those easter eggs while watching the episodes so I could go "whoa"! Should be some happy campers! Will definitely watch. Not my favorite storyline, but I'm interested in their take on it.

[LonnieFisher]

This episode was pretty great.

[Bruce Banner]

Was expecting one well known Superman villain, only to get an even more classic one!

[Earth 2 Chris]

I have watched episodes 1 & 2 of Season 2 so far, siince we watch them on the CW streaming app on our Roku (it's free). So far, so good, and it looks like they are setting up for something I wasn't sure they'd do, but they have almost all the components in place for a certain famous Superman storyline that happens to have it's 25th anniversary this year. Hmmm....

[KnightDetective]

Forgot this was back on tonight. Caught the last five minutes by accident. Was looking for the remote to turn away from the "Super-son's" teen melodrama when... did I just see who I think I saw? And did he just say "emoh"?

Still not quite as bright and fun as I'd like it to be, but good enough that I'll probably catch up eventually. Would love an occasional episode with the feel of those "Fleischer" suit scenes!

Not aiming this at S&L particularly, but does every fantasy show really need to have a underlying sense of dread and impending doom? Bad behavior and poor decisions? Is that supposed to make it "adult" enough that you're not embarrassed to admit you watch? Watching the helpless Flash and friends get stalked by omnipotent speedster / super powered serial killers every season became akin to torture.

I just finished up season 1 a few days ago. I had very low expectations for this show, but came away quite impressed. It mostly stayed away from the CW cheesinesss, such as too much teen drama, poor effects and and bad acting. I thought Hoechlin was lousy on Supergirl, at least the little I watched of that show. But he proved it was the writing, not him. I like that's he's a bit older than Superman is often portrayed, He's no George Reeves mind you, but he's no Superboy, either. I like that they updated characters and incorporated a more diverse cast without it looking like that was the main objective, with story second. Good actors in good parts.

I look forward season 2. I think it's best thing CW has done since the first couple of seasons of Arrow, and so far I like it better than those.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Great first season for sure. My family really enjoyed the ride. I do have some questions about the finale, though:


SPOILERS



Why didn't that big Red K explosion weaken Superman? Wouldn't he have been out to long to save John?

Why not just use some Green K on these guys? John could have made him Superman a lead suit or something.

I was kind of hoping Jonathan would show at least a hint of powers, but they may want to save that nugget for a later season, if ever.

Besides those nitpicks, it was great!

Season 1 gets a big thumbs up!
