Superman & Lois (2021–2024)
10/10
This is Superman!
6 August 2021
This is my first review for "Superman and Lois", as I wanted to watch at least the entire first season in order to have a more overall and adequate view on the show. However, Episode 11 made me come here now and say it - This is Superman! Even from the very first minutes of the Pilot I could tell that the creators of these series do care about Superman and will try to pay their respects to the best hero ever in the best possible way ever! As someone who has grown up with Christopher Reeve's Superman, I had always had my doubts about everyone and anyone who has put on the cape ever since, Tyler Hoechlin included. Even after seeing him in a few of the Supergirl episodes, I still didn't feel he is right for the part. However, the unique way "Superman and Lois" is shot, the brilliant cinematography, the incredible writing, the music have all given Mr Hoechlin the opportunity to make Superman feel so real and so... Supermanish! I love how much of the true nature of this hero they have managed to show here! The tone of the show is both light-hearted, yet quite serious when needed to be. I've never liked the "Man of Steel" darker tone or suit. Here we are treated to a Superman who is capable of being so charming (coming from a guy haha) and full of positivity, yet soo intimidating when needed to be (such as the standoff scene in Ep.6 with the soldiers trying to take Tag into custody). All actors are doing a fantastic job and I am really grateful for the environment everyone working on the show have managed to create for the audience :) As another fan had written somewhere, at first I thought that this might be a guilty pleasure for me. It is a lot more now! Every episode feels like watching a fantastic movie, only a bit shorter :) Guys, please keep up the good work! I really hope that what you will bring many more wonderful Superman moments to us :) Cheers from Bulgaria :)
