I am re watching this series from Netflix streaming and love it more
2 June 2011
We watched this series when it was on TV during the 90s. I know we liked it but I recently started watching it again on Netflix streaming. Thought I would watch the pilot episode only but I got hooked. It might be that it is more exciting to watch a series when you can watch them one after another on your own schedule without interruptions.

The first two seasons, Teri Hatcher looked fantastic. Her hair and wardrobe were absolutely gorgeous and flattering to her. Season 3 and 4, it is as if they changed the whole staff behind the series. Her haircut looks a little dorky. The wardrobe makes her look too skinny and average instead of stunning as before. The writing isn't even as good as the first two seasons, especially in season 4--stories get sillier and sillier. If the standards of season 1 and 2 had continued throughout the whole series, we might have had season 5 and more.

I think Dean Cain made a great Clark/Superman. Even he looked better in the first couple of seasons. They let his hair hang a little looser as Clark. I don't get this "slicked back short haircut" for Superman. It is similar to George Reeve's Superman but why keep that look when this is an updated retelling?

As a kid and teenager, I bought and collected every Superman, Superboy, Supergirl (and so on) comic book I could get my hands on. As an adult, I have outgrown the comic books but I still enjoy the comic-book influenced stories if they are done well.
