season 1 was a good starting out point, then as a change of writers occurred, season 2 was a major pile of turd, had some good episodes throughout the seasons but some very day time soap opera episodes too. dean Cain was a pretty good superman and Teri hatcher was excellent as Lois lane as well as being absolutely gorgeous. Perry was perfectly cast, didn't get the change of jimmy, lex was great as well as Clark's parents. tried to watch it again, season 1 i enjoyed, then season 2 went off in a weird direction and seemed like a fan made superman TV series with sloppy ideas, season 3 was better, season 4 was the same and season 5 was the same. the whole Lois clone eating a frog.... the direction the series stories were going...... daytime soap opera.

Around 20 years ago and more recently (repeats), I've seen on TV a few episodes of Louis and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993). It seemed OK then. Recently I've decided to buy the full TV series from Amazon. As I've then started watching them without the adds interruptions, I thought from then on that it was much better than I remembered it and it's actually amazing. Every part of the filming of this series was done to an excellent standard. Absolutely all of the actors and in particular Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher, did a great job and made the series feel immersive, like it's actually happening. I just wana see more :) Looking at some other more modern series for comparison, in around 2016, like Arrow, Agents of shield, flash, legends of tomorrow etc. Louis & Clark would have blown them out of the water, if they would have only released their series now. P.S Dean Cain, Chyler Leigh and Mehcad Brooks actors are the main reason I bother watching the modern Supergirl 2015 series :)

Over-the-top ridiculously cheesy villains, gaping plot holes, and TERRIBLE special effects ruin this show. It might have been good back in the day, but it just doesn't live up to today's standards. Every time I see Superman "land", it's INCREDIBLY obvious he's jumping from a ladder. And does he has to swoop his cape EVERY TIME he takes off? And on top of that, the flying is just wrong. It doesn't look like flying at all. And the only thing worse than the CGI are the contrived plots. It honestly seems like every villain has a way to outsmart superman, and for some reason, it always works (for a little while, at least). OK, I can get how sound might hurt Superman. But using fist-sized speakers to "resonate" a building to the ground? It's just stupid. The acting is OK, though.

When I was 14 years old the HBO aired it every week in Hungary and from the pilot, I watched all the episodes. I liked it very much. I could buy the first two seasons a few weeks ago and I started watching the series again and I could not stop watching it. It reminded me of my childhood but nowadays I got older I can give a more realistic review... The first season was the best, then I don't know why they swept out Lex Luthor, who is an ancient enemy of Superman and here he "lived" only one season and later he got only guest appearances... The first season was about Superman and his activities but then in the second season it went background and the whole season was only about the romance of Clark and Lois. I think at this moment it went downhill. All the episodes were about "Sorry Lois, now I have to go" and the lame excuses. At the end it bored me and everybody knew that Clark is going to reveal his identity soon. I do not understand why the writers had to hurry with that already in the second season... Was it necessary ? Many times the 43 minutes were not enough to finish an episode correctly. Meanwhile they could not show a decent date between Lois and Clark suddenly Clark popped the question... on the other hand the fight against enemies were too short in an episode I guess. Sadly, I think the budget was low so there were no big special effects, superman did not fight against "alien" superheros, or they (he and his enemies) did not ruin whole Metropolis in big fights for example. So then Clark showed his identity and there was no any "excitement" in the plot for an average TV viewer. Of course, I was a fan like many others, but the ratings went down and it killed the show... I am sad and now I am watching the series again and again and it reminds me of many nostalgic moments... I hoped maybe one day they will continue, but time went by slowly. It ended 13 years ago. Some cast members died by now... So there is no hope anymore...
