Superman fans the first season of it's second prequel Krypton has finished airing and a second season is confirmed for next year and since i've got nothing to do today I thought i'd give you my review of the entire first season so here we go.
So then the plot of the first season is Brainiac is coming to Krypton and it's up to Seg-El and friends to stop him. This show is set 200 years before Superman incase you didn't know by the word prequel but I will say that the story is pretty well told and it does wrap up really well as far as I can work out there's going to be a new story every season and I think that might work for this show but time will tell.
The show stars Cameron Cuffe as Seg-El , Georgina Campbell as Lyta-Zod , Shaun Sipos as Adam Strange , Rasmus Hardiker as Kem , Wallis Day as Nyssa-Vex , Blake Ritson as Rao and Brainiac , Ian McElhinney as Val-El and Colin Salmon as General Dru-Zod. They sure as hell love casting British actors in this show because there's a lot of them in the main cast and that's not a bad thing since it means more people might then want to watch British films.
Acting wise the show is a very mixed bag and I think that's because for a lot of the cast this is there first big thing Cameron Cuffe who's only been acting for a few years prior to this show tho does deliver a great performance as Seg and for me it's always great to see Colin Salmon in anything I just love him.
This show does take liberties with established Superman lore i'm not going to spoil what liberties are taken but if you've seen the show you'll know exactly what I mean and it's something that did drive me a little crazy or is that crazyer?.
I will admit tho that the ten episode format does work for this show since alot of the episodes are jam packed with plot elements that even going to thirteen episodes could make people turn of the show but sticking to ten episodes means that the story can advance at a nice pace and it won't feel rushed or like it's out stayed it's welcome.
I'll admit that for a show airing on Syfy the CGI is pretty freaking good and I wish I knew who was doing the CGI so I could thank them because Syfy shows very rarely have good CGI in fact most of them have terrible CGI but this show has proven that a show on Syfy can have good CGI effects and I hope that other shows take note but tho the effects in this show aren't as good as the ones in The Flash.
Like Game Of Thrones this show films in Belfast but I don't think they film in same studio altho that would have been awesome and they also film in Canada and I have to say you can't really tell what was filmed in a studio and what was filmed out on location apart from obvious scenes for example any scene inside the fortress of solitude for example.
I'll admit that I checked out of this series around episode four maybe episode five but I did watch the season finale and i'd seen enough of the series to make an impression and from what i've seen everything is just meh and that includes the action scenes they just feel average to me and for an action heavy show like this that's not a good thing and I hope it's something that they fix in season two.
Overall this is mostly an average show for everything that I liked about it I found one thing that I didn't like but given how season one ended i'm interested in where they go in season two but season one scores a 5.5 out of 10 from me.
