I just started watching last year and I was addicted to it. We have all seen superman heroics in movies but we had never seen what made clark kent superman. This series gave us exactly what I wanted the journey of clark kent from smallville superman. The first season was great setting for things come and carried fine by season 2. All the actors have performed well in their role, extra credit to Tom welling and Alison mack for perfecting the characters. I watched all the seasons and found that the series wanted us to connect and feel the emotions of the characters and compromised on action, I never felt any villian presence in this series, as all of them had weak roles, showing up for some episodes and disappearing. So there was never any tension regarding the villian. Showing clark kents first love lana lang was refreshing even though it didnt connect well. But supermans nemesis were there and all wer good in their characters. Ppl who want to comic book action will be disappionted as supermans fights with villians r short and disappionting, cuz action was never top priority in smallville, overall this was a one of the best of superman adventures.
