Well-crafted and with a cinematic feel, this series could be the catalyst to reignite The CW’s superhero empire.

Overall, the complaints against the first handful of episodes screened for critics are small compared to Superman & Lois' strengths. It is an alluring first step into a new frontier and might be just the ticket to infuse some new energy into the Arrowverse.

This is the CW’s most confident DC debut and a new, exciting chapter for the “world’s greatest hero.”

I enjoyed a lot of things about the premiere, even if one final twist left me baffled. The second episode offers promising routes forward — and bends the larger serialized story in a dispiritingly familiar direction.

Superman & Lois was plucked from the ribs of the current crop of the CW's DC superhero dramas, but its strongest connection is to an earlier series, the long-running "Smallville." Adding a family/coming-of-age component to the Man of Steel's mythology, the show cleverly ties into the deep roots of the franchise, at least initially proving you can go home again.

I'm genuinely appreciative that somebody came up with something resembling a new angle. Next step? Making said angle into a good TV show.

But for all the logical storylines and character journeys that “Superman and Lois” includes, it nonetheless lacks the spark to make any of it very interesting. Despite solid efforts from Tulloch, Garfin, and especially Elsass to bring life to their stiff scenes, these Kents feel more stuck than striking.

Avoids the usual pitfalls of CW shows that have turned into mostly soap operas instead of actual superhero dramas. As long as it keeps that up it's 10/10 from me.

The show on another level. I do love the flash but this show targets a more Mature audience.there are no stupid Jokes. Clark is a normal father and lois is a normal mother. There are much less clichés than in the rest of the arrowverse. It looks more like a drama that may turn Even darker than Titans. The direction and budget seems yo be far better than the res of the AV

Got to episode 4, gave up because l’m sick of long inane story arcs. Writers labour under the misapprehension that a thin story plus its accompanying wretched sub plots can be salvaged by stretching it over an entire season, Star Trek Discovery I’m thinking of you. They’re wrong.

Not another parents-teenagers conflicts serie! Please! Please! Not in the mood forever.
