Featured reviews
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.

I'm bummed that they ended this show! It was such a fun ride! I loved how it explored much of what made Clark, Clark! Obviously not as well as they did in Smallville but that show began when Clark was a teenager and this one with him already being a father.
Tyler Hoechlin did a fantastic job at playing Superman! His acting was strong throughout the series and I felt for the character. I admired how he was with his family and I bought into it. He did a great job! :)
Now - this show had it's problems, yeah. When this all took place is kind of confusing for people who both know the characters as well as for new fans, I'd think at least. I mean, who all has Superman already battled against at this point? Him being Superman has already been established - but we don't know when it's happening.
The supporting cast is strong as well, I feel. I enjoyed watching Clark's family grow and mature over the series. Lol, I know that I didn't behave like his son's! Hahaha, if I would have I'd of gotten smacked once or twice. :P Whatever though - it's a series set in a new time, obviously there will be some things that are a bit off.
The villains in this one aren't super entertaining, I feel. I enjoyed some of their arcs but mostly it wasn't my thing. It's all good though, I was there to watch Superman be Superman. :)
Glad to have watched it but I felt that the show could have lasted another season or two, That's my only complaint with this one. :) GIVE ME MORE! :P.

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.
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.
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.
