CW Superman & Lois

Another good episode. Superman continues to get the feats too.

Silent Master was melting down for a reason.

Yeah, they're putting the budget to very good use in that regard. Casually carrying around a decent sized iceberg and

Spoiler:
one-handing that bridge section for a bit
, shaking off that ship explosion and the drop from orbit to the ground, good use of heat vision and freeze breath, and of course his speed, just to name a few things. And not just with his physical stats either. Even his hearing is planetary level.

That hearing power would drive me insane.

I'm really liking this show.

I'm not convinced on the actor choices for Superman and Lois (they look out of place to me). but the show on the whole is very good.

Man even John Campea likes this show.

Hes the one who went on crazy rants about how the CW butchered the character.

So is Sam Lane getting a villian reveal at some point, as usual?

Or do you think they'll give him a break and make him a stern but loyal father in law who does what's best for the family?

hard to say but my guess is it might be a slow descent as to why sam lane would go all heel or maybe they might have him tinker on the brink of going evil but realizes he shouldn't

I think he's going to go all General Ross on us.

Nice to know its getting the viewership it deserves

Its decent for CW, but hardly its best. I remember the Flash got 4million live viewers for its pilot. This is 3.5million viewers over 7 days.

But hopefully word spreads on how good it is so its numbers can increase.

The Flash debuted in 2014. CW hasn't gotten those sort of ratings in years. The CW streaming service didn't launch until two years after in 2016. A record for the service doesn't account for shows that precluded its creation.

And it's 3.5 million streaming viewers on top of the 1.745 million who watched the premier live. That's 5.25 million viewers in its first week.

Compare that to CW's DC shows 2019/20
Flash 1.2 mil/ep
Stargirl 0.9mil/ep (and that is after airing on another service a day earlier)
Batwoman 0.9mil/ep
Arrow and Supergirl 0.8mil
Legends 0.7mil
Black lightning 0.6mil

If all those other shows got renewed (except BL and Supergirl, my guess is Legends gets by due to a much lower production cost with less high end cgi required) superman should easily get a few seasons.

Be interesting to see the numbers stargirl gets when it's not aired on another service first

This show is too much of a soap opera.

How so?

No love affairs, no random resurrections from the dead.

The drama around the kids and wife, that's kind of expected. It's pretty obvious they're shooting for "My Super Sitcom".

Whirly doesn't know what a soap opera is. Think a telenovela in english

Pilots and first seasons always do better though on CW.

So not sure the comparisons to current shows holds up.

All im saying is those kind of numbers would be expected. Not sure if theres anything special about them.

Also consider this show is much more expensive than other CW shows, so would need much higher ratings just to break even.

Will see how it goes anyway. Has good WOM, so hopefully that helps.

He seems to view Clark as a weapon, which isn’t a good thing.

Sam's moment with the boys was nice.

So far getting a Raymond's mom vibe from him.

This show is ****ing great

I misread his speech to the boys. Thought he was saying "Don't be too hard on your old man for always running off. He's saving lives." Instead he was basically saying not to bother him, because he's saving lives.

Show continues to deliver. Going to be a good week for DC fans.
