Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
The venerable Superman mythos gets a 21st-century updating in the imaginative and engaging TV series Smallville. The premise of the show--Superman as a teenager--takes up just a few pages in Superman's very first comic-book appearance (in Action Comics back in 1938), but producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar flesh out that period by portraying young Clark Kent (Tom Welling) not as the noble Superman-in-waiting, but as an average teen with some not-so-ordinary supernatural powers, including incredible strength and heat vision (Clark hasn't lifted up, up, and away as of yet). Clark's desire to fit in with his peers and make sense of his extraordinary abilities grounds him in very realistic and identifiable terms for the series' primarily under-25 audience, as does his appealing and tentative romance with Kristen Kreuk as Clark's dreamgirl Lana Lang.

But Smallville also strikes gold when it takes a turn towards more comic-book territory, as evidenced by the parade of shape-shifting killers and other outlandish antagonists (many generated, in one of the series' most ingenious notions, by the same devastating meteor shower that brought the infant Clark to Earth) that Clark must harness his powers to face and defeat. Gough and Millar, along with their capable cast (which includes Michael Rosenbaum as a young and already bald-pated Lex Luthor, and Annette O'Toole and John Schneider as the Kents) manage to pull off the precarious high-wire act of combining science fiction with coming-of-age drama to create this highly watchable programme. --Paul Gaita

Even those of us who don't read comics know the story of Superman. But what was life like growing up for him? That's the focus of this series. And it is surprisingly addictive.

Set in modern times, we join Clark Kent (Tom Welling) is Smallville, Kansas. He's a teenager attending high school. And he's just starting to develop the powers he'll use to save the world as Superman. His best friends in school are Pete Ross (Sam Jones III) and news hound Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack). And he is not so secretly in love with girl next door (okay, a mile away. It is the country) Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk). Unfortunately, she's already dating quarterback Whitney Fordman (Eric Johnson).

You dont need to know anything bout superman or even like superman, as this is it's own thing...Really you must buy it..
The story is awesome, and yes it may have a few cheesy we love america and flags around but it makes up for that with the story lines of each episode.

- great series!
Fantastic first series, captivating pilot episode had me hooked from the very beginning. I found myself watching the entire season within one weekend! My only criticism would be that first few episodes seem slightly fragmented, all telling a 40/50minute story from start to conclusion without a visible progression of a main storyline. From about episode 5 or 6 onwards though, everything starts to tie in and become a more ongoing and fluent story. The last episode was amazing but also very frustrating as it was "to be continued" so I would reccommend having season 2 close at hand to prevent frustration!!

I am in my thirties, so when I was a kid Superman was one of the main cartoons on TV and these comics were available everywhere. Throughout the years there have been many movies and series about this beloved superhero, but I am not aware of any that tackled Superman's life as a teenager. Therefore, "Smallville" fills a gap that fans everywhere love to finally see bridged. In this series we find answers to many questions about Superman, from why kryptonite weakens him to why Lex Luthor was a villain.

In 1989 a meteorite storm hit Smallville, Kansas, killing many people, but bringing joy to a couple of farmers that were not able to have kids. The Kents find a small boy near a strange artifact, or maybe it was the boy that found them. ... Read More:
