A newcomer from another planet, a few-year-old boy enters the care of Martha and Jonathan Kent from Smallville. The meteor shower falls with it. He kills Lana’s parents. Clark grows and so does his powers, which he wants to use to help others. He is sensitive to only one thing – kryptonite, which is abundant in spite of anger in the vicinity of the town. This mineral gives power to other inhabitants. However, they are not as noble as Clark …
It was a really nice show, mainly for teenagers. Initially, a series was planned about the life of young Bruce Wayne before the Batman era. When the idea didn’t work out, Superman’s early years were taken into the wallpaper. There was one rule at the beginning. No tights, no flights. And luckily, no ring on my forehead. It made the young Superman more human and easier to digest, with the problems of the average teenager.
The main actors were well matched. Classic, “superman” handsome Tom Welling and beautiful Kristin Kreuk with Dutch-Sino-Indonesian roots, the main antagonist – the sinister Lex Luthor, that is Michael Rosenbaum.
The series ended its broadcast in 2010. An endless number of writers, producers and directors have passed through the series, but the main character has not changed (he has appeared in all 10 seasons). Until now, there are Smallville Town sites and blogs maintained by loyal fans.
