Summary
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
