Krypton will fall; there's no getting around that. But it could be very educational to see how heavily ignorance and hubris are to blame for its demise, and what role that insight plays in giving birth to a more hopeful tomorrow.March 22, 2018
Krypton has something for deep-cut Superman and DC fans to be sure, but its accessible approach to "hard sci-fi" might serve as a solid gateway to welcoming in fans looking for something big, ambitious, and unconventional in the age of Peak TV.March 21, 2018
It's not always successful and it's not nearly as smart as it thinks it is, but Krypton earns plenty of points for its lofty ambitions and its ability to retool the tired superhero prequel concept into something that can stand on its own.March 21, 2018
... the overall storyline begins to bog down rather badly in the latter hours, making Krypton seem like too much of a slog en route to a seemingly long-in-coming payoff that's already set in stone.March 21, 2018
Last month, I ventured a guess that, sight unseen, Krypton would be lousy. Now, sight seen, I confirm this is so.March 21, 2018
No wonder Superman chose a flashy red cape and bright blue unitard. It's an instinctual reaction to all that monotone.March 21, 2018
The special effects are pretty good for a TV show, but the cast isn't notable and it has the faint air of one of those generic international action series.March 21, 2018
Krypton rarely ever feels like it's flying under its own power.March 20, 2018
The show's first few episodes have a nagging inconsequential air to them, as I wonder might be the overall case if Krypton doesn't start putting its good intent toward a more innovative cause.March 21, 2018
It requires a logical leap far greater than a tall building in a single bound to believe that the lives of everyone on an entire planet are worth one Superman, but I still have hope for Krypton.
