  • So, who's watching? I've seen the first three episodes and have not been that impressed. My favourite aspect has been that the scenery is visually stunning. I find it funny that everyone living on Krypton in the past had strong English accents. What's with that? Any comments and/or criticisms?

  • I've been watching, it's pretty good.
    But I'm not really too familiar with the DC history so not sure if this is all new material or is it following something done in the comics?
    So the main character is Superman's grandpa right?
    I think the reason for the english accents is that it's coming out of the UK.
    I find it interesting that the Kryptonians are for the most part poor and oppressed.

  • Saw the first episode and don't plan on watching anymore. Not a fan of 100 BC architecture and poor lighting mixed with high tech technology.

  • Yeah it's pretty nice visually. I've watched the episodes so far...I like the concept mostly, but it probably would have made more sense as a 6 episode miniseries with the "we must save time" story, rather than all the politicking.

  • The first ep. was okay but I'm not going to watch anymore. I hate the fact that DC keeps tiptoeing around their main characters; like Gotham or Smallville. I've read that they are going to make an Alfred series. So lame.Sad

    I don't see the appeal of any series that dances around the important characters. In all honesty, most DC characters are lame to me anyway.

  • I didn't watch the first season, but I will tune in for season two because Lobo is supposed to be part of it. In fact, The Main Man is supposed to be the main villain for season two. That's what I read.

    Placing my bet now (based on the overall tone of Krypton so far) that this version of Lobo will be closer to the New 52 Lobo than The Main Man.
    Favorite Characters: Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, Captain America, The Shadow, Zorro, The Rocketeer, Jonah Hex

    You may be right, but boy I hope you're wrong. EmoBo is not my cup of tea.
