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.

Superman & Lois does not feel like it belongs in the CW's Arrowverse. This is much higher quality entertainment in terms of acting, writing, budget, etc.

When I first saw pics of Superman from the show, I didn't buy Tyler Hoechlin as Supes. He looks great as a werewolf, but I thought his features were too unique to play the "All-American everyman" that Clark Kent/Superman is supposed to be. Now I'm 6 episodes into season 1, and I'm happy to say I couldn't be more wrong. His portrayal of both the man and the Superman feel so genuine that I can actually believe people wouldn't see through the disguise. Honestly, this feels more like a continuation of the WB show 'Smallville' than a CW Arrowverse show. Aside from the lead, the acting all around is superb.

You can really feel Geoff Johns influence in the writing, as well. The pacing is perfect, and the story (thus far) is compelling and tense. Despite the thinly-veiled Morgan Edge/Donald Trump allegory; the writers don't often stoop to lazy writing, and the political messaging is not heavy-handed (for the most part) and it feels character-appropriate.

I loved Henry Cavill's run as the Man of Steel, but Tyler's portrayal is the truest distillation of Superman since Christopher Reeve. He really captures the essence of Clark Kent as a Kansas farm boy, and the alien Kal-El. The icing on the cake is seeing Superman as a father, which is new and interesting.

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.

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.

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.

Ok, Superman & Lois kicks off its fourth season with a gripping two-episode arc that plunges viewers into the darkest depths of the series yet. Episode 1 sets a powerful tone as the stakes are raised dramatically with the return of a formidable foe, Bizarro. The tension is palpable as Lex Luthor, portrayed with chilling intensity by the actor who played Abraham in The Walking Dead, manipulates the story's central conflicts with ruthless precision. His threats against Lois, combined with his machinations to control Doomsday, create a whirlwind of suspense that leaves viewers on the edge of their seats.

The character dynamics are particularly compelling in these episodes, with Lois's fierce determination to protect her family shining through in the face of overwhelming adversity. The emotional weight of the narrative is expertly handled, showcasing the Lane family's struggles with grief and loss. Jordan and Jonathan's journeys are thoughtfully explored, highlighting their growth as they grapple with their identities and responsibilities. I'm not even going to mention episode 2 because no one likes spoilers. But watching these two episodes reminded me of The Dark Knight they were that good. By far the best episodes to date and I presume they have new writers because not once was it about Jordan and Jonathan fighting each other for the affection of Lanas daughter. I really enjoyed these two episodes, I didnt really rate John, Bruno or Natalie in season 3, Bruno's wife was good. But Season 4 is amazing by comparison.

It's good, but it's incredible how one can take the phenomenal world of Superman and make it so hacky. I kid you not, EVERY single scene that's not crime fighting is literally a therapy session of some sort. An argument, conflict resolution, family squabbles, some teenager throwing a tantrum or endangering others, causing a scene for no reason, etc. Ironically the most interesting story growth could come out of the teens and their derived powers, use of X-Krypto, etc.. but I said could, COULD but it doesn't. Shoot and a-miss.

There are at least 10 side conversations each episode about some melodrama, and to add to it, action scenes derive or uproot from these unreal chit-chats that no real regular family would be having. Only way one can really overlook this nonsense is the fact that the show is in fact rated PG, so it's targeted at families. It's like a trend at this point that any adolescents in lead roles will head straight in this direction no matter what. I may be butt-hurt but only because it could have been a bit better in the story department. Thank goodness for fast-forwarding.

I think this is one of the best Superman shows to date.

The stories are well written and the final season so far has been stellar. Tyler makes a great superman and a really good Clark Kent. Elizabeth also makes a great Lois and I love how they slowly developed the story with both of his kids. I will be sad to see it go honestly, but the writers so far are doing a good job with the final season in its story telling. I hope it stays that way =) I wish this would have lasted as long as Smallville did although I was less impressed at Smallville the last few seasons personally. I hope they make some sort of tv movie in the future, but probably won't since supposedly this is ending because of the James Gunn stuff which I think is ridiculous, if true.

I know it's a family drama, but maybe that's the problem. Superman is usually action with drama and sometimes a little comedy, but I forget about the cool action in this series because EVERYONE, like ALL THE CHARACTERS constantly evaluate each others actions and CONSTANTLY stalk about their feelings. I loved Smallville and I love rom coms too, but Clark's family and their friends in this series whine all the time it's exhausting. They also cry all the time and I noticed how each of the characters personal frustrations built up during every episode and then they yell at each other, confess their emotions and talk about it at the end of every episode. But what's the point if they do it all over again every episode!? STOP WHINING PLEASE!!! It's like they turned Superman and Lois into ongoing family therapy and I really just want the lead characters to do their jobs instead, such as fighting an evil plot against a villain. The villains in this series are instead secondary and not memorable at all and I don't feel they evolve around and manipulate Superman like they usually do in Superman comics and movies. Instead the focus of the series evolves around family issues and crappy teenage drama and I'm sorry, but I couldn't care less, because the storytelling and acting isn't convincing. I have sat through many semi-bad movies and series and still left entertained, but this Superman & Lois series is unnecessarily exhausting to watch, I loose interest in the show.

Superman & Lois has received a lot of praise for its fresh take on the iconic superhero by portraying not just Superman, but Clark Kent, as a relatable, devoted father. The show delves deeply into his dual roles of world-saving superhero and everyday dad, creating a unique dynamic that resonates with male viewers, particularly fathers. What stands out is how it humanizes Clark, showing the internal struggle of balancing his responsibilities to the world and his family, which is a refreshing contrast to typical superhero stories.

Clark's portrayal as a father is one of the most positive aspects of the show. He's protective, caring, and genuinely invested in raising his teenage sons, Jonathan and Jordan, who face their own struggles. It's compelling to see Superman, who is typically seen as invincible, navigating the very real challenges of fatherhood-whether it's supporting a son with powers or helping the other deal with more human issues like fitting in. This version of Clark is incredibly relatable, making him a grounded figure despite his superhuman abilities.

In parallel, Lois' father, General Sam Lane, offers another strong father figure. Though initially tough and pragmatic due to his military background, Sam's character development highlights his care for his family, even when his protective instincts clash with Clark's and Lois' more empathetic approaches. His relationship with Clark also adds layers to the traditional father-in-law dynamic, showcasing respect, tension, and ultimately shared love for family.

The show excels in portraying fatherhood from two very different but complementary perspectives: Clark, the nurturing and hands-on dad, and Sam, the stern yet caring patriarch. Both men demonstrate different approaches to love, sacrifice, and duty toward their families. Their roles are powerful reminders that being a father, whether to a superhuman or an ordinary child, comes with complex responsibilities, yet the love they have for their families always shines through.

Superman & Lois takes these iconic characters and makes them more relatable by focusing on their roles as fathers, offering a refreshing and heartwarming perspective on family life. For viewers, especially male fathers, it's a heartfelt reminder of the importance of family, no matter the challenges.

This show is so amazing I could spend a whole year watching it and not get bored, superman has always been my favourite superhero and Clark Kent in this show, is the best one in my opinion I love the show so much I've watched it since 2021 it's honestly my favourite show I would choose it over everything else. Please continue the show I love everything about it, how it's performed. I love the cast all great actors. The show needs at least 10 seasons I will never get bored of it honestly not even trying to be a weirdo superman addict I just love everything about the show. Derek please continue acting, :)

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.

The show is ok. It's watchable and enjoyable, but could be better. Personally, I'm pretty tired of superhero shows being so full of drama between people and so little to do with interesting story-line and superhero stuff. And in this particular show my biggest issue is Lois. So overly dramatic, always angry and yelling and just a toxic mother tbh.

I've always found Superman to be a superhero I couldn't quite relate to.

This show, however, feels refreshingly grounded. It doesn't rely on over-the-top action; instead, it focuses on the relationship between Superman and Lois, giving depth to both characters rather than just highlighting Superman alone.

In my opinion, this is the most relatable portrayal of Superman to date, which makes it bittersweet to see the series come to an end. The writers and actors have poured their hearts into every episode, and it truly shows.

The final season is outstanding-every episode feels purposeful, filled with passion, and executed with a drive for excellence from everyone involved. Honestly, this is the strongest final season of any series I've ever watched.

Simple critique....less dialogue between family members, neighbors, business owners, etc. Too much drama!! Not to mention "couple" issues. Geez...do we need to drag them on....both brothers.

I havent been a fan of the CW superhero shows for a long time and I watched this just to see what they had done. What a surprise! Well produced, good strong story to start, you feel the strength characters right from the begining. Just hope this doesnt end up going like the other CW shows with silly story lines, too main pointless characters and the need to add team mate after team mate. This felt like Superman lets keep that.

Too many side characters subplots, too much side characters drama, too little Superman.

The show isn't called Lana and her family, Sarah and her school friends, Smallville random people lives, the show is called Superman & Lois, we got 5 minutes of Superman and 40 about random things in Smallville....

I liked first few episodes and they started dragging it. Same as the flash. I wanted to watch action drama not family drama with every episode someone crying or BS talk. Its my bad expected too much from CW.

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 would give seasons one and two 9 out of 10, but season three just 4 out of 10.

We finished season three a few days ago and were very disappointed. The cancer storyline dominated the entire season, which some people have applauded, but it makes it unwatchable for others. There are multiple scenes in each episode where they're just discussing cancer and in some episodes you don't even see Superman, or if you do it's fleeting.

We sat through it though and were relieved when Lex Luthor appeared late in the series and it felt more like Superman again.

We finished season three and went straight back to the beginning of season one. What a difference! Season one is so beautiful; the action is superb, effects superb and acting superb. It's like a different show altogether.

We really hope that season 4 is back to the old Superman and Lois. As a family that has experienced cancer (like most others have) season three just didn't feel like Superman. It was very depressing at times and not the escape from the 'real world' that we need after a hard day in the office.

Reminds me of early Arrow or early Flash, which were great until they went downhill at an alarming rate. I hope this show can remain consistent.
