Season 2 of CWs 'Superman and Lois' (and family) show, that again pulls the rug from under the viewer in the early couple of episodes in who (or what) you would expect the 'big bad' of the season to be.

Hoechlin is fast becoming my favourite 'modern' incarnation of the character - nowhere near as dour and serious as Cavill in the DCEU - with Tulloch admirably holding her own as his now-wife Lois Lane living alongside Clark Kent in Smallville (now wife in that she has always been so since the show began, but - if you're anything like me - you most associate the character with their earlier years in Metropolis when she didn't know his secret)

I don't know about you, but when I think of Superman I tend to think of his Clark Kent early Daily Planet days, back when he was a reporter and when Lois didn't know his alter-ego.

That seems to be the period in which most of the Superman films have been set in (and is probably why I think of that), with his earlier teenage/Young Adult days explored more in TVs Smallville.

I'd never come across a 'mainline' story with a hook just like this before: Clark Kent is no longer a reporter at the Daily Planet, is now married to Lois who knows his secret and has kids (teenage twin boys) of his own.

Yes, I know that's been covered in the comic books.

Anyway, this is another entry in what-is-sometimes-known-as The Arrowverse, with both Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane having previously 'popped up' in some of it's sister shows - I think first appearing in the second season of 'Supergirl' - before putting in an appearance in some of the crossover events.

Having said that, this is largely a self-contained series (post Crisis), although there are points where you just have to wonder why Kal-El doesn't put out a call to his cousin Kara Zor-El to help! Setting that aside, however, this is beautifully shot (and generally written/performed better than most of the other Arrowverse shows), with Tyler Hoechlin continuing to prove himself a far lighter, more comic-accurate (I feel) version than that shown by Henry Cavill in 'Man of Steel' and 'Batman Vs Superman' or 'Dawn of Justice', and with Elizabeth Tulloch also winning me over as Lois Lane.
