Somehow this slipped under my radar. Episode 1 very different in feel to the rest of The CW Arrowverse shows. If it wasn't the same actors playing Lois and Clark as from Supergirl, I wouldn't even think it was related. Very serious in tone, visuals/audio, plot points in first episode instant downer, darker shot. Possible this is just to set up the main series plot arc so will likely not be quite so bleak moving on... maybe. {Spoiler}Right, so the ending has Doom Guy revealed to be Captain Luthor, but can't be Lex as it's not Jon Cryer. Curious.

Yeah. While I didn't dislike it, it felt way too much like Snyder's bleak MoS that yells "this is inspirational and hopeful!" instead of actually being that. Far too little of Tyler Hoechlin's nearly dead on portrayal of Clark/Superman made it through. I'm guessing Captain Luthor is from the future. But I'm also not sure this is on Earth Prime. Lois and Clark have twins, which I don't think happened in either the comics, or Arrowverse. Also no mention of Kara being available to help take some of the burden off Superman. And I'd have thought Melissa at least have a walk on cameo at the funeral. I can't see Kara not showing support to Clark when his mom died.

It's now set up for the 'good' kid to rebel... Becomes jealous of his brother who now has a relationship with their Dad, loses his place on the team/life as they move to Smallville yada yada teen angst stuff.

I get it! Captain Luthor is a survivor of the Crisis! (Batwoman season one spoiler) Just like the second Beth Kane! He keeps talking about how Superman destroyed his world. I was stuck on alien world! But he probably means parallel world!

Bit confused showing weekly on BBC1 but the whole series seems to be available online/SkyQ. Watched episode 2 and it autoplayed 3 and then started on to 4.

Season 2 starts in a couple weeks. Not sure I'm going to bother.
This was the first Arrowverse series that I almost dropped. It never got any less boring to me. It felt like a chore making it to the end.
Which hurts, because I absolutely love Tyler and Bitsy as Clark and Lois. They're perfect casting.

BBC did it with The Outlaws too. Very odd.

They do it with a fair few series now, although I thought Outlaws only released as they were aired as I was going to watch it but saw it wasn't complete on iPlayer. I think they're just trying to appeal to different audiences.

Oh yeah, Outlaws they released the next week's episode on iPlayer. I guess it creates more of a water cooler anti spoiler urgency to watch with these approaches.

Just finished series one (on iPlayer).
Absolutely superb.
I initially felt there was too much 'teen' stuff going on. But I quickly realised that that's the point; Superman has never seemed so real.
The cast are excellent.

That's where I am with it. Enjoyed Season one, season two to follow when time permits.
