Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Smallville or Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., start here.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 15 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

Set two generations before the destruction of the legendary Man of Steel’s home planet, Krypton follows Superman’s grandfather — whose House of El was ostracized and shamed — as he fights to redeem his family’s honor and save his beloved world from chaos.
