    There is a lot of clunky, melodramatic dialogue, like, “You have to find the Fortress; you have to save Superman!” There is a glowering supervillain in the form of veteran DC Comics bad guy Brainiac. Last month, I ventured a guess that, sight unseen, Krypton would be lousy. Now, sight seen, I confirm this is so.

    Krypton is the kind of series where you wonder what direction is being given to, well, everyone. Any series that looks and feels, at least 50 percent of the time, like a spoof is already in a pretty bad spot. But if that series gives off the vibe that the characters inside it look completely uninspired, then you have a whopper of a problem.

    Looks/feels like every other teen-angst show on CW though this is a now emo SyFy production. Plus you're a captive audience for Hollywood'sLooks/feels like every other teen-angst show on CW though this is a now emo SyFy production. Plus you're a captive audience for Hollywood's continuing liberal indoctrination that mixing races is soooo progressive. This series had so much potential but it looks to play out like every other I-must-avenge-my-family's-honor story ever written, ugh. Nothing new here except the set pieces and mostly unknown cast. PS: watch out for a slew of 9/10 ratings from the shill squad. At my most optimistic, this show rates no more than a seven.… Full Review »
