    A treat for all supes fans! They had a great look to Krypton, believable slums, and that look for Brainiac was PERFECT! I can't wait to see whats ahead!

    It is a great sci-fi show! I can not figure out why some many bad reviews! Don't bother, there is no mistake give Krypton a chance. Maybe the comic fans didn't like, I'm not a hardcore comic fan and I'm really loving the show!

    The show definitely has potential. It gives an interesting look into the caste system used on Krypton and introduces the potential for alternate time lines through the meddling of Adam Strange. The show could quickly fall back to formulaic angst filled drama with no direction or it could become a masterpiece. At this stage it's too early to tell but I like what I've experienced so far.

    Even for someone who is not a super-fan, this is a decent sci-fi show. Atmospheric and well acted, it keeps me watching it.

Since we are facing a first season, a lot of time is spent in presenting the world in which the characters live and in the introduction of these. Among the topics discussed in this first season we can highlight the great presence of the consequences of travel over time. As soon as Adam Strange warns Seg-El of a threat that will arrive in Krypton and that would affect the birth of Superman, the problems begin to increase. Without entering much into spoilers, the mere presence of Adam and the threat of the series is the engine of much of the plot and the future second season. The characterizations of the characters throughout the series have been accurate, since they are adapted to the social context in which the Kryptonians live at that time. Those who have a range live and dress luxuriously.… Expand

    Earthman Adam Strange travels to the past and to Krypton to warn Seg-El that his grandson, the great savior named Superman, is in danger of disappearing. Seg-El, like any person, does not believe Adam, until he realizes that a great threat looms that could take Kandor forever: Brainiac.

Without entering much into spoilers, the mere presence of Adam and the threat of the series is the engine of much of the plot and the future second season. On the other hand, the family is also a recurring theme, both in the relationship of Nyssa-Vex and his father, and in the hidden project of Daron-Vex, which is also related to a certain political plot. Then, love is rather secondary in this series, showing us a loving trio that surely has a predictable ending. Finally, one of the big issues is social inequality, because in Kandor the Sin Rango are treated as potential terrorists, due to the threat of Black Zero, in addition to being treated as if they were animals. About the characters, I must highlight the great evolution that Nyssa-Vex has shown, a character that shows great charisma and a certain empowerment. On the other hand, Daron-Vex is shown to us from the beginning as someone desperately seeking power, although he does not hesitate to back down and duck his head, if the situation requires it. On the other hand, Seg-El's character stands out for his imprudence, rebellion and trust in those who should not. Then we have Adam Strange, who seeks to be a hero and help as much as he can Superman, the Justice League and the universe. Going to describe the members of the house Zod, Jayna-Zod is a strong character and a rigid code, but is willing to sacrifice everything for what he wants most; However, Lyta-Zod is shown as a character who wants to meet certain expectations and choose his own path, even if he has to betray his own family. In general, all the characters comply, although some stand out more than others.… Expand

    Krypton is a show split between two different concepts, and that lack of commitment shows in the first five episodes. But those unfamiliar with the comics will find plenty to enjoy, as the plot gets twistier and twistier.

    Krypton is nowhere nearly as nuanced--“Battlestar” frequently wasn’t either, for that matter--and in its opening hour trains much of its focus on building a soap opera bridge to the ancestral history of Earth’s greatest champion. But it is heartening to see a Syfy series take advantage of our ongoing fascination with the DC Universe, and other comic book properties, to attempt to make a statement about where we are and the possible dangers that lie ahead.

    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.
