I absolutely loved the Krypton! I thought it was an inventive and unique take on the Superman's story, and I was really invested in the characters and the world they lived in. I was sad to hear it was cancelled, but I understand that it wasn't a huge ratings success. I hope that someday the show can be revived, because I think it has a lot of potential.

Krypton is a beautifully rendered show with solid production quality, great visual effects, and some good acting, particularly the two primary villains, Braniac - Blake Ritson and Gen Zod - Colin Salmon. Krypton's great failing is some insipid writing and a banal story line which fails to convince us that any of the good guy characters deserve to survive the chaos. Over and over our heroes save each other at the expense of about everybody else in the city of Kandor. ... And by the way where are all the other cities on the planet who seem to ignore the Kandorian plight? Understandable why it was cancelled. Show just ran out of steam.

I'd like to love the series but aside from most of the show's actors doing a decent job, and the writing being ok, there's one character that just ruins the entire thing for me...Braniac. The actor playing that role is absolutely horrible. Braniac isn't a smirking dotard like this guy portrays him. He's an AI that is super focused and if anything menacing. His portrayal is so bad I find myself having to fast forward over Seg-El's interactions with him. Cameron Cuffe does a much better job when he is in "brainiac mode" than Blake Ritson does playing the character directly. Lose this lame Braniac and the show quality goes up significantly... or at least get the idiot to stop smirking all the damn time.

It's a show that I like to keep watching. It has an incredible CGI and the production of the series is wonderful.
