Superman & Lois 

That shows that Superman can be done correctly when you know and understand the character. It's my favorite interpretation of supernan since the animated series

This show is one of the best interpretation of superman we have ever had in live action

The moment Superman stops the car and hands the kid his hat. That's when I knew they finally did it. They captured the earnestness and kindness of Superman/Clark both in out of the suit. The season wasn't flawless but it got alot of things right especially heart.

This show's Clark Kent has what I can only describe as "Cool Neighbor Energy", and It feels *so right* in the context of a man returning to live in the small town he grew up in. He's that dork of a neighbor who fixes your grandma's TV for her, who you don't know that well, but he's nice, and his kids go to the same school as you, so you know their names and say hello when you pass by. And he also happens to be Superman, and adore how right that feels to someone who knows small towns. Those people just exist in that kind of community.

I can't believe they pulled off 15 episodes of "Clark Kent, but a DILF."

The death of their first kid humanizes Clark even more because not even his superior kryptonian genes could overcome something like a miscarriage Implicitly pretentious

This show was amazing and gave me Smallville vibes! He’s quickly become my favorite portrayal of Superman.

13:10 This is why I love Clark Kent, his sheer truthfulness in knowing and accepting he would never be able to control people's fear of him and he can't force them to abandon it completely, all he can do is keep doing the right thing....

In explicit contrast to many of our blockbusters, this show is not about a mythical Great Man given the license to enforce his will but about a good one-a man who grows to understand his own weaknesses and puts a focus on saving people, not fighting villains.

I really liked that you mentioned Clark and Lois bonded over looking out for the little guy. That’s what I loved as well and instantly felt that their relationship is so natural. Episode 11 is a gem

Walking through Clark's memories in that ep was SUCH a smart way to both show their backstory and progress the narrative.

Honestly? I have seen Tyler Hoechlin in Teen Wolf and although I loved him in it, I was a bit worried about whether he would make a good superman. Turns out he is perfect? seriously. When he doesn't have to play a grumpy, emo werewolf. his real personality shines through. He really gives me that wholesome, kind and sincere vibe. I'm so happy we have this show omg.

Oh, Leo.. not even two minutes in and I'm tearful.

This is probably the only CW property to really get any of my interest since like season 2 of the Flash

This show has blown my mind. It is so emotionally rich and heartfelt that it has allowed me to share it with my sister, who abhors superhero stories. I was a fan of Hoechlin's before, and I'm so glad he's found such a great fit in this role. And good lord, Tulloch is amazing! It was fascinating to watch all those reactors' videos from big bearded men that were in literal tears during her scenes with the therapist.

Clark “struggling” with the water cooler is peak Clark😂. I loved this show so much. It was one of my very first forays into Superman-centric IP; I love me a Batman/Superman comic, love Sups as a part of a team, just never really got why he was so interesting until this show. It’s like you said, he’s not a god who was raised on a farm, he’s a farm boy with godlike powers. And his powers were/are as much a burden as they are a gift, and he has to constantly control himself. I used to kind of laugh at “Superman never gets ruffled lol, that’s so not realistic.” But when I watched this show I was like “oh snap Superman has perhaps the best self control of anyone on the planet, that’s why he doesn’t get ruffled. Because when Superman gets angry, or lets his temper get the better of him even a little bit, it straight-up terrifies everyone he cares about.” Because he can punch two worlds hard enough to separate them. That’s legit god-tier power.

Season 1 was great, I hope it’s keeps being great.

Excellent breakdown from beginning to end!! The 1st season was 🔥 and I’m looking forward to many more. This show actually made me more of a fan of Superman!!

I absolutely loved this show and was so grateful that an actual decent superman show came out because they focused on what's meaningful to the character.

Loved Superman and Lois, it's great to see a really good superman show since Smallville. It's a combination of the atmosphere and visuals of man of steel and the lightheartedness of 1978 superman.

I love hearing people’s reactions and reflections of shows/movies - Thank you for sharing these in depth analyses!

This Superman is a complete contrast of the DCEU and I love it.

This show has so much heart- I was surprised by how much genuine warmth it has. It got Superman right! Bitsie Tulloch is the best live action Lois Lane (and I say this as someone who loved Teri Hatcher on Lois and Clark), and your analysis nails it on the head why people connected with this Superman and his family-ultimately, he’s just a guy trying to do his best and we can all relate to that. Well-done!

Man I love this show it’s so realistic the writing,acting and storylines everything it just blew my mind every episode it’s brilliant and every once in a while it made me tear up I was able too relate with Jordan since I also suffer with severe anxiety and i also have trouble making friends and this show inspired me to be strong and brave the last episode were Lois is trying to save Jordan it made me tear up it also motivated me to face my fears and stand up I was not expecting this show to be so fricking good and realistic

This Superman is what I've been waiting for. I love so much about it- I think the writing, casting and cinematography are amazing.

This show greatly exceeded my expectations. Im a big Superman fan, and I never got into the CW shows except for Smallville. I tried Arrow and immediately didn't like it and The Flash was OK but not interesting enough for me to watch the entirety of Season 1. I heard this show was good and I believed them but I was thinking "good for a CW show". But I was wrong. Its just a plain great show that FINALLY gets Superman. After I saw some more positive perception on the Snyder films, I tried rewatching them with a fresh new perspective like all these other people did. And, with the exception of Snyder's JL, I still hated them. It really didn't capture what I love about Superman or Batman at all. Hell, even Snyder's JL was good because of the other characters NOT Superman or Batman. This Superman, the one in Superman & Lois, is just some kind dork who lived on a farm and that's great. I have some issues with this new Lois but I have to say, she's still a GOOD adaptation of Lois Lane which is a rare thing that I come across. My favourite versions of her will always be DCAU Lois (where she might be the best character in the entirity of S:TAS) followed by Smallville Lois but this version is way better than any of the big screen versions of her.

With multiverse having connected all live action dc projects with the crisis event. Imagine, this superman interacting with Henry cavil's superman (if henry is still continuing as superman) especially when Henry's superman turned evil by darkseid (like in first injustice game where superman from earth prime confronts superman from injustice world) . Man that will be amazing, we can clearly see Tyler's superman trying bring Henry's superman back to normal.

ABSOLUTELY loved this series, Really glad you were able to make a video on it😄🙌🙌🙌🙌

This show gave me everything I wanted from a modern superman adaptation especially after I hated Zach Snyders version in those films. These writers just seem to get Superman/Clark, they're not focused on trying to deconstruct him, question him, make him some literal god among men, they're just allowing superman to be superman the good kind hearted guy that he is.

Every time Tyler Hoechlin as superman/clark kent is on screen...that makes me smile. That should gives me enough proof why this guy is the best live action iteration we got since a very long time, maybe even the best of all time. Pro tip to the costume designer: PLEASE FIX THE SUIT, it's dog shit

I cried watching this video thats how much i love superman and this show 😭😭

Please, please, please do a video about that scene in episode 2, season 3. Lois' confession on the rooftop is the best use of the superhero genre I've ever seen! In comics, on film, or in animation. Incredibly powerful and subtle at the same time. It is both a public declaration heard by the Judge and the attending police officers and yet at the same time a private conversation between Lois and Clark. Something that could really only be done with Superman or someone like him. It is amazing. Add to that, Lois is controlling the entire scene here: she has a suicidal Judge, trained law enforcement officers, and god-damn Superman in the background while her inner world is crumbling and she is still controlling and commanding the situation. That is the Lois Lane we deserve! I know this comment isn't relevant to the video above but I didn't know where else to post it. There is so much hype atm about James Gunn's new Superman but really Superman and Lois is setting a bar that's going to be almost impossible to top.

Would love you to do this breakdown of Superman with The New Adventures of Lois and Clark and Smallville shows respectively. Tho I know that's a lot to watch and unlikely but those comparisons to the versions you have covered would be fun lol

Clark from Steel's Universe lost the Kents much earlier, and was raised wholly by the simulation of Jor El, therefore didn't achieve a connection to Humanity. Therefore when he was confronted by Tal Rho, he was simple to convince to join Tal's mission to rebuild Krypton on Earth.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about this show, but your video really convinced me to watch it.

This show is literally the first live-action interpretation of Superman that made me like him as a character

Ok. Fine. I’ll watch this damn show!

I still seen some people critical on Tyler Hoechlin and comparing him with Henry Cavill. I don't know why. Both are Different zone . Tyler as superman and Clark Kent is matured and simple. Henry Cavill Clark Kent I ain't remember mostly seen him as Superman. He had Aura but Directors messed up him.

Exactly how I felt about the Langs and the twins!!! Twins were so good and so realistic!!! and Sarah Cushing so charming and real as a teenager. And yes raw emotion, their scenes and therapy episode, so good-and it has story payoff more then just emotion!

Also making the one not named Jon the one who develops powers was a nice twist. Comic book knowledge leads you to the wrong conclusion, which was a nice surprise. The show doesn’t bog itself down with keeping the lore “parallel” to the comics.

so glad you are talking about this show, it's severly overlooked! my favorite live action superhero show this year!

I swear, when I saw Tyler in Teen Wolf I went - this man would absolutely crush it as Batman. Bro went ahead and crushed it as Superman instead. He Humbled me and made me absolutely happy at the same time - the most Superman thing to do.

When everyone seems to be as cynical as Lex Luthor with the modern representations that believe can only be evil "Supermen" I'm glad this show give us the real Superman so that the new generations can remember that hope, truth and justice aren't outdated concepts, but ideas that we can forge from our families, our community and possibly one day the whole world.

I've watched and rewatched this since you've posted, and really enjoy the Deconstruction section and the talk about each of the five "mini movies", and especially about episode 11. That was my favorite episode as well. I hope one day you'll talk about Jonathan losing himself in the transition away from urban life while Jordan finds himself, and Jonathan's 'quest' to re-discover who he is through the humans around him like his mom and John Henry. Jonathan has taken the spotlight off of Jordan as much as he could and now Jordan doesn't need his protection any more, but there Jonathan still is - trying to keep Jordan reigned in and keep him humbled while also propping him up and playing wingman. Very rarely is Jonathan the f*ck-up, but when he is, he REALLY is (mainly because you don't expect it of him). I mean, Jonathan never got to see the Fortress, and never got to meet his holographic grandpa, but he still stood toe-to-toe with his human one and called him a coward. I also LOVE how Lois & Clark argue and work with each other to make their marriage stronger. "I'm pissed off at you and I can't lose that anger because I have to go pick up Jordan from jail and scare the mess out of him" (paraphrased, obv.) I also liked how it showed how hard it is to make friends as adults, with Lois & Lana going out for drinks together to try to unwind but not knowing how to really talk outside of their shared realms of wife/mother roles, but then later they're both working together to figure out what Morgan's up to AND to ensure the safety of the town (Lois's and Lana's main goals respectively). Anyway, super-awesome analysis!

This is da stuff 👀👍 Thank you for always bringing da stuff 😔👍

Perfectly articulated review of the show, and couldn't agree more, big fan of this Superman story!

Ok I knew this show was around but it never caught my interest (even though I'm a huge superman fan). Now I'm going to have stop watching this video (4:18 in) and watch the show and come back to this.

Great video ! This is the first TV show that I have been really "into" in the last 40 years. Hope to goodness that they don't change or lose the winning format and dynamic between the characters that they have.

Genuinely, Thank you for this.

Honestly superman is a really simple character to do rite people just try to unecessarily complicate him

Ok, I'll have to check this out too 👍🏾👍🏾

I think next to Smallville and Superman TAS, this is one of my favorite takes of the character

Oh, man. I JUST started this show...

haha lol I was so prepared to hate the teenagers and they do sometimes piss me off but you can't help loving them in the end. so well written AND acted

Thank you for your take on this show.

When this show came out I couldn't help but wonder when you would study it, thanks for making it like 10 times better!

This series was everything, the acting was actually good! It's grounded, and I hope they dont mess it up

Definitely didn’t watch the show before checking this out, but now I’m convinced! Great video! ALSOO!!!!! I know I’ve been saying it a lot but OMG you gotta do a video on the haunting of hill house, perfect for spooky season and perfect for a trauma analysis lol.

I think it’s such a great Superman show. I like DCEU Superman(Henry Cavil) but he and Lois aren’t event married yet, and don’t even have a child. In the comics I know Clark and Lois have one son named Jonothon, there is no Jordan, but I suppose that’s fine. The importance of memories we have of our friends and family is evident in the show. I didn’t think I would like CW Superman(Tyler Hochlin), but he is quite good. Lois(Bitsy Tuloch) is excellent. I don’t know who the actors who play Jononthon and Jordan are, they are good too. I think the writers really understand Superman well, but also Clark too. We have never seen Clark as a husband and dad in live action, and it works so well. I’m looking forward to season 2 for sure.

well done, sir.

Henry Cavill is still my favorite interpretation of Superman because of the journey he goes on throughout the 9.5 hour story and how he starts as an outcast, but Tyler Hoechlin is a great Superman as well.

Man, I've forgotten how much I missed this Superman...

I never liked superman, I didn't think any interpretation up to now showed me how good his character was. This show is simply wonderful.

The first costume is really cool.

That dam "TRAUMA" Line haha

Wait Jonathan isn’t the one with powers?! I haven’t seen the show yet it’s on my watchlist. It’s kinda weird cause in the comics Superman does have a son Jonathan who has powers.

What love about Snyders superman was that he was an alien with a human journey ..And his optimism was demonstrated through his example of perseverance . Snyders movies saved peoples lives in real life.

Coming here now that the season has finished airing in the UK.

you know what Tyler has in common with George Newbern? both play Superman... and Sephiroth

Really love this man! And not to sound push, but if you havent, do you think you could give Black Lightning a chance? I never see anybody really talk about it and I'm curious.

You’re too polite to use 「講咩話？」 When I heard Supes said those Cantonese I was like「乜9嘢話？」LOL

People hate what they don't understand...

Just finished season 1. Hoping that Clark finds his mother's crystal in season 2

Make a video on cw flash

Hey friend, Wanted to check in- are you still watching it? Thoughts on season 3 so far?

7:50 "Why you say that name!?"

Please do one on Hancock and alcoholism

I hope he reviews season 3

Kal I have to agree wit Tau on this one we r super inferior to Kryptonians

God I hope they don’t fuck up season 2 🥺. Season 1 was so freaking good 😫

Now if only they could pull this off with Batman…

I know they want to let the high school thing last but the kids def look older than 14. I'd believe maybe 16 to start with.

Please make a video on Venom Let there be Carnage because I want to know what u think about it

I see that the CW has taken Superman and Lois isn't on Tuesday night now. Riverdale is on tonight. Will Superman and Lois come back on for multiple seasons? It is the most well done CW superhero show. Bar None.

Okay can WB stop killing the Kents? Goddamn

I’ll never understand being ready to hate something. That’s just easy and lazy

11:48 Max Goodwin ! Get out of that body !

I'm sure that this superman can take on Thor no problem

Nai kow mei ah? Lol

The one thing CW has gotten right is Superman and Lois' dynamic. Shocking how theyve butchered other characters while making my favorite portrayal of Clark/Supes

Good video. I just wish this fucking show was more colorful. Brighter blues and reds

1:33 why is there injustice footage?

I still don't get how the show looks as good as it does. It’s a bloody CW show.

It is part of the arrow verse? Right?

No T R A U M A?

Snake

t r a u m a

Am I to believe Superman never visited his MOM? Or did they just word this weird?

Implicitly pretentious maybe you can analyze supergirl I mean it’s ending soon why not give it a send off I think it’s an underrated show very sweet and heartwarming and wholesome and whimsical

Eh, I can't agree with that quote. My memories are for me. Others can go take their self benefit and shove it.
