In addition to fighting evil, Superman has a burning romance with Lois Lane in both his identities. Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman benefits from excellent work from both Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher in the leading roles but it also respects the character's history and it shows from early on like in the pilot how the Man of Steel approached that little girl in the wheelchair and besides some over the top moments like Superman eating a bomb it still holds that George Reeves and Christopher Reeve edge when on the same time it builds a new one. Also loved Lex Luthor and Perry White as well, this is a show that still holds even after all those years and it's as good as i remembered it. (A+)
... View MoreAround 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 :)
... View MoreThis series offers a warmly human interpretation of the relationship between Superman and Lois Lane. The series treats their relationship with warmth and and with a measure of plausibility. It must be remembered that Superman is not human, and that fact alone could have undermined any attempt to humanize the being from another planet. Yet, this series deals with that situation well, helped immeasurably by the wonderful cast, headed up by Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher, who work well together. Their performances alone make this series worth watching. In this series Superman is heroic but not emotionally distant and as Clark Kent is affable and respectable without being overly bumbling. Superman handles his disguise well and as George Reeves did in the original Superman television series, Dean Cain projects a aura of quiet strength and levelheadedness which makes the character even stronger. By the way, in this series Superman often consults his mother, which makes the character even more endearing.
... View MoreNothing against Dean Cain and Terri Hatcher, but I couldn't get into this series for several reasons.First of all Lois is always on this high horses "I'm better than you" mode, and from the very get go, Clark and Lois are already like husband and wife. There's just no sobriety in the story.The chemistry between Dean Cain and Terry Hatcher is not bad, but the way everyone and everything combine together lacks for a better word quality. Only thing that happens is this mild bickering between Clark and Lois, and White and Olson are just one tracked in the way they come into the story, and the way they act. They might think this is humorous, but it gets old really quickly.Compared to the relatively good character development of "Smallville" this program really didn't put any efforts in this area.The series gets old rather quickly for the above reasons. The producers should have given it a better treatment.
