Superman and Lois
Over the last two days I have binge watched all of Superman and Lois, the episodes that have aired so far, and I have to say I am really enjoying them. This is a big surprise to me, because I normally don't like Superhero TV shows, but for whatever reason this one really works for me.
All the main characters are very likable, and it has a good supporting cast. They have also done a good job of keeping the background or minor characters consistent and some of them have gone on to feature in later episodes, which isn't always done on episodic television, and I really like the setting of a small town that is struggling.
There were two contrasting antagonist storylines in this first half season, and they are both done well. Lois had her own storyline and her own antagonist, so it wasn't just her sitting around worrying about Clark.
I really like the twins, although my favourite is Jonathan, I don't know why but I love the dynamic of one brother having powers and the other "normal" brother being protective of him, while also being a little lost (that is probably why I liked very early seasons Dean Winchester). My only complaint about the twins is they seem a little too old to be 14, but I understand why they have to use older actors. At least this time the actors are actually teenagers, I looked online and it seems one actor is 19 and the other is 17, which way closer than other series. The girl Sara, who is the love interest, is 24, which I would have never believed until I looked it up online, she has a baby face.
Anyways, I also kind of ship Lois/Lana, I was worried that they were going to have them be competitive or jealous of each other, but instead they made them friends, and I think the two actresses have really good chemistry with each other.
My only worry is that they are throwing an awful lot into this first season so far, and I worry they might not be able to keep up the momentum, but we shall see.
