A beloved drama series that serves as an origin for one of the world’s most iconic heroes is about to stream on Netflix
Netflix is preparing to stream one of the most legendary programmes from the last quarter-century that continues to captivate audiences more than ten years since its finale.
Launching in 2001 on the CW, it chronicles the backstory of one of comic book culture’s most celebrated figures, brimming with sufficient plot developments to captivate even the most devoted superhero enthusiasts.
With an impressive ten-series run, viewers will enjoy endless hours of thrilling and compelling entertainment when Smallville lands on Netflix this Tuesday, 13th January.
Featuring Tom Welling as Clark Kent, the programme explores the formative years of the Kansas-bred adolescent who secretly harbours extraterrestrial origins from a doomed world, fated to evolve into the mighty guardian known as Superman.
The stellar ensemble cast for this legendary coming-of-age tale includes Michael Rosenbaum portraying Clark’s destined arch-nemesis Lex Luthor, Kristin Kreuk as his romantic interest Lana Lang, and Virgin River star Annette O’Toole as Clark’s adoptive mother, Martha Kent, reports the Mirror.
The show established exceptional standards for superhero television during the early 2000s, remarkably achieving this despite Welling never actually wearing the legendary Superman suit, making it ripe for rediscovery now that it’s becoming readily accessible on the streaming platform this month.
One glowing 10/10 review from an IMDb viewer declared it “still one of the best superhero shows ever!” They continued: “I love most of the Superhero shows that are out there (of course there are some that are awful) but Smallville is absolutely one of my favourites of all-time! It tells the story of Clark Kent before he became Superman.
“Every episode is as exciting as the one before it and I can’t say enough about Tom Welling, he was fantastic as Clark Kent! It was on before the Superhero genre exploded but it still absolutely holds up today! If you are a fan of superhero shows then I can not recommend this show enough!”
Another glowing critique hailed Smallville as a “classic” and declared: “What can I say? The best show of CW so far.
“Every episode had me on edge. I loved the characters and all that they stood for. This show touched my heart in ways that no show has. The upbringing of Superman!”
Meanwhile, a final devotee made a striking statement: “Tom Welling is my favorite Superman – no one else compares.
