I loved the show.
I just finished my second watch about 30 minutes ago. I think this show is smart in distinguishing itself, not only from the typical CW hero servings, but also standing clear from other Superman shows that came before it, like Lois & Clark and Smallville (though folks seem to forget Superboy existed). I like that we are focusing on Clark and Lois at a different point in their lives than the other shows. And I know some will struggle with the teen boys, especially Jordan but it's an interesting plot point that highlights the dichotomy of Superman and Clark Kent for better or for worse, in Jordan's case, it's the worse bit. Despite all of his attempts to be there for his son, it's always going to appear like he's neglectful because he has this bigger than life responsibility as Superman, the guy who's basically the worlds protector interfering with his personal life. He literally drops every in a moment's notice to go and save a life. That's going to be hard to accept by anyone when they feel ignored by him all the time. I'm looking forward to the rest of the show and watching Clark and Lois raise their family as well as save Smallville from the shark Edge And Clark being Superman.
