- It's alright ,but not great. KEEP AWAY , READ NOW
Smallville tells the story of superman starting in early high school and how he became the man of steele. The reason why I give it two stars is because the show itself is very stupid , at first the show starts off great giving you addictive characters then the storyline is good too, and so is the acting everybody does great on the show, BUT then the show starts to repeat it's storyline by saying everybodies problems are from meteor rocks and when I mean everybody I mean EVERBODY seen to get infected from the stupid rocks,lex luther seems to cry about his evil father in every freakin episode, then Lana Lang seems to say sorry to clark in almost every freakin episode ,you start to tell yourself this is getting kinda stupid, the show it self never changes no matter how many seasons you buy you'll get the same storyline ,clarke trying to hide his stupid secret and lana saying sorry for this and that.
Another stupid reason why you should not buy this is because you'll never get nothing new meaning a different storyline as well as a good season finale or premere since they never make sense. Please don't waste your money on this crap or I promise your regret it

- Smallville - A History in the Making
The season that started all. This is a great TV series to see. Prepare to watch the human side of the man of steel, his fears, his doubts, his love. Each episode will show Clark's adventures, but also how he manage to understand his new powers and to deal with a normal life. This season is full of emotions for example what i really enjoy is how Clark and Lex (future rivals in life) met and become good friends and also every time Clark try to get close to Lana and get nervous, is really to laugh.

I recommend this season if you want to know better the origins of the man of steel. If you already are an Smallville fan this season must be in your collection, if you aren't, sure you will become one after see it.

- A show for all ages
"Smallville" is great for adults as well as kids. It promotes family values along with lots of action. Occasionally it's scary for young children, but kids who understand that it's fantasy love it.

- Smallville Starts Light, But Do Not Miss It
Every story has a beginning, and season 1 of Smallville is the lightest season compared to the complex stories and character development that comes in the later seasons. Most episodes in season 1 center around high-school life and trials that most of us can relate to. If you have an affinity for that time of your life, you may enjoy this fun season even more. The acting is well done and you'll easily find yourself working through the episodes wondering what will happen next. I found two episodes in season 1 to be among my all time favorites: Nicodemus and Leech. I think that if you're thinking about skipping over season 1 that you would be making a mistake!

Smallville may seem like a nice change from the no stories from superman since the cancellation of Lois and Clark in '97, but Smallville certainly is still pretty far from perfection. True, the show is about Clark Kent growing up in smallville and adjusting to life while having the crap kicked out of him by certain kryptonite bearing bullies. The only real and true shining point of this series is the role of Michael Rosenbaum as the charming yet obscurely villainous Lex Luthor. He plays the role exactly as I would picture the diaBALDical one. Let's face it though, the story just goes far too slow and deals with way too much unimportant and ridiculous interstitial crap: Superman LOSES his powers to another high schooler when he's struck by lightning? Can someone give me a B? And an S? Also, what is with Chloe? The girl is so obnoxiously cute I can barely stand her, let alone her unexplained love for the talentless band, Remy Zero. Same with the ambiguous romance between Clark and Lana, (BTW, all four seasons so far are guilty of this) They just knock the romance ball back and forth so many times, it's frickin' infuriating. Since when is Superhero's life supposed to be the equivalent of a daytime soap? I'll be the first to admit yes, drama is GOOD. But it's way too overplayed in every ep. Someone comes up to Clark's loft, they say "Can we talk about something Clark?" and then they talk and we can pretty much guess the end of THAT conversation. Oh yes, Sam J. Jones the Third is one of the few in the cast who turns in a dignified performance. In short, nothing much happens in this first season or even the second season. Now if you HAVE to have a Smallville DVD set and I can't imagine why you must (Unless your state has draconian regulations) I recommend looking into season 4 when some things finally spice up the show. But I don't recommend this season... or even season two.
