7/10
A fun series
23 October 2018
I didn't watch Lois & Clark when it first came out. I've watched over half of them in the past month or so. It's sort of like a comedy/drama/action show, with a good mix of the three. Some episodes are more comedic, some more drama than comedy. Nor does it resemble the original Superman show of the 50's with George Reeves as Superman. For one thing the Reeves show had far less visual effects available, and was definitely geared toward the preteen audience. Lois & Clark is more suited to the teen and young adult audiences.

One thing is very clear from the outset; the Lois & Clark series is soooo much better than the liberal propaganda and political bs being pushed on the current supergirl series being shown on the cw network. There were a few ridiculous episodes, but most of them were fun to watch. Unlike the current supergirl show, where half the city knows her secret identity, the writers kept Clark's secret identity secret. Except from Lois, of course, which I think is the greatest deviation from the comic books. In the comic books Superman didn't reveal his secret identity to Lois, nor did they get married. Unless that happened in the 60's, after I had stopped reading comic books.

L&C is far from being a great tv series, by any stretch of the imagination. But Dean Caine and Teri Hatcher had great chemistry together, and that made the show entertaining and fun to watch.
