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
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.

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.
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.
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.
