It's a pretty good show, and was the framework for all the shows which came later on The CW from Greg Berlanti (Arrow was created just as they were deciding to end Smallville). Also, the two main showrunners for Smallville are the pair who teamed up with Tim Burton for the recent Wednesday series on Netflix.

But mainly keep in mind that this is Clark's pre-superman days. The rule of thumb was "no flight; no tights": there's only a couple of times that Clark flies, and he's never in the Superman outfit until the very VERY end.

But he's not isolated unto himself: you'll see other well-known DC Comics characters show up. Including Green Arrow, played by Justin Hartley...who wanted to star in Arrow, but was turned down as they wanted Arrow to NOT be a spin-off of Smallville (good thing, too, for fans like me of This Is Us!).

Somebody suggests watching the first episode and deciding from there. I would suggest at least the first FOUR episodes. It gives you a good idea of what the show will be like beyond the initial design, and also here's a hint: Episode 4 is called "X-Ray"...Clark gets a new power! 😎
