After years of facing supervillains, monsters and alien invaders, the world's most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent and comic books' famed journalist Lois Lane come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever -- dealing with being working parents in today's society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois worry about whether their sons, Jonathan and Jordan, could inherit their father's Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older. Returning to Smallville to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with Lana Lang and her Fire Chief husband, Kyle Cushing. The adults aren't the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville as the Kent sons are reacquainted with Lana and Kyle's rebellious daughter, Sarah. Of course, there's never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois' father, Gen. Samuel Lane looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment's notice.

Scott Bryan BBC.com The issue I found with this is that it leant too far into the realism and was therefore kind of boring. Rated: Not a Must Watch Apr 6, 2022 Full Review Melinda Houston Sydney Morning Herald One of the reasons Greg Berlanti and his team do such a consistently good job with these reimaginings is their affection for the original material -- an affection borne of a deep understanding. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Noel Murray Polygon There's no reason why a Superman show can't be fun and cool, while still working in the social relevance and teen-friendly melodrama that anchors the Arrowverse. Feb 24, 2021 Full Review Joshua Rivera Polygon There is, however, still plenty that can be said via superhero stories - and it's refreshing that, in its first, remarkably graceful season, Superman & Lois found a way to do that. Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Don Shanahan 25YL (25 Years Later) If the other CW shows have felt redundant, cheap, or flimsy to you, "Superman & Lois" will open your eyes, grab your heartstrings, and still dazzle your valiant action cravings. Rated: 4/5 Oct 24, 2021 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha IGN Movies A sincere show that combines modern stylings with old-world optimism. Rated: 8/10 Aug 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Kal S Tyler Hoechlin does justice to the 'old man' of steel, as he wrestles with the challenges of saving the world and raising two teenagers. Much of the family drama feels contrived—regular and wearisome bouts of shouting, followed by formulaic apologies—but there's more than enough overall to keep it fun and engaging. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review tiago m A temporada é leve, simples e fiel a essencia do Superman, mostrando a esperança e o otimismo que ele representa da melhor maneira possivel. só a abertura supera as 6 temporadas de Superglil. o fato da série ser independente do Arrowverse ajuda muito, dando mais liberdade pra série explorar suas próprias ideias e visões dos personagens. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Matthew H Too much heavy intense conversations and not enough light, fun imaginative stuff. The discussions were so intense they were almost yelling and frowning at each other all the time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
