Krypton is good prequel to superman franchise. The ending of the first season of krypton was very tricky and unpredictable. Visual effects are so good even for the tv series . Brainiac looks sick and my favourite doomsday my god!! A perfect design of character straight out of comics . But a little bit dissapointing because there is not enough fight sequence that's all . This is why i am giving it 8....

Krypton had so many chances for good story lines and interesting plots. And despite rushing the actors through moments containing genuine feeling, then dragging everyone slowly back and forth amongst horribly made rocks in the fake snow (like you are trying to follow this sentence), while we tried to care about Seg. The forbearer of our Superman Kal-El. First, I tried to like everyone else less, knowing that he was the star and the "good guy." Then I tried to like any qualities about him at all. Unfortunately, the writers made him too irritating, too dangerous and reckless with the lives of his friends, and so slow to catch on to things that I was concerned he might have brain damage from so much fighting.I'm aware that he has to be reckless to keep the action moving along, but Seg has almost schizophrenic bounces from smart to "too stupid to live." I am a mild, non-violent person, but several times I urged characters (aloud) to "Shoot him! Shoot him NOW!" while watching the show, to save us all from further torture.Seg's disregard for the dangers of defying various authorities (including continuing to steal a vehicle which led to his mother's death), and wishy-washy indecision about a career felt more like the problems of a human 13 year old male, so his obvious age and marriage/relationship dilemmas were confusing. (Plus he's a con man that smiles while he spends his friend's money without permission. I considered tv-shooting him myself.)The most disappointing thing was how Seg treated Doctor Strange, even after the evidence he provided, he was dismissed.Unfortunately, the writers can't be blamed for everything. The actor playing Seg is nearly always wooden and charisma free. I just don't feel any sincerity except when he says he's leaving. Some of the early episodes seemed to have inexperienced directors. Maybe not, but I believe that a few from my favorite shows could have made Krypton an alien world with interesting people and cultures and some real feelings. I was really hoping for some of that.I awarded Krypton 3 Stars. I started with 5, then deducted 2 for the times I really-really wanted to "off" the star character and leave him next to a papier-mache rock in the sad snow. I stopped watching the series after episode 7, I think.

I can see from some of the other posts, that the more avid superhero groupies don't like this series, but for me I loved it, I won't be rude and slander the people that don't like it, each to their own. I love the characters, and the plot. It's action packed and has cliff hangers to keep me interested. I dont binge watch normally but watched three episodes in a row. Hope this keeps going.

Love this show. So tired of people trashing shows that other people like. If you don't like just don't watch it. Let other viewers enjoy
