Smallville premiered on television in 2001 and chronicles the adventures of Clark Kent and his friends. We get to know and grow up with a teenage Clark Kent and how he manages to first get through high school with his super powers, and then we journey with him into the adult world as he tries to live a “normal” life by keeping his Kryptonian identity a secret.
Along the way we meet established characters in the DC lore, and are introduced to new ones as well. We’re introduced to a young Lex Luthor as well and while we are so used to seeing him as the villain, in this show we see how Clark Kent and Lex Luthor are good friends and help each other. At least in the beginning.
Make sure you watch the show as it is good storytelling and makes for some good drama. The following reviews and commentaries of the episodes contain spoilers, so read at your own risk!
