The truth about "Smallville" is that it's this generation's "Hercules" and/or "Xena", but with the backstage intrigues of "Game of Thrones". The show follows the life of Clark Kent, better know, to at least half of this planet, as "Superman", and everyone around him.
The first season is filled to the brim with cliché adventures that Clark and 'those meddling kids'(Cloe - the high school journalist and Pete - Clark's best friend) find a way to fix, each one of these being, of course, tied closely to the meteor shower. Kripton, Clark Kent's place of birth exploded years ago and his parents placed him in a ship and send him all the way to Earth, along with his ship however, there were pieces of the planet(meteors), that made it through the atmosphere and are now scattered around the town. The show swirls around this key factor for at least the first two seasons, the meteors and they're effects on people keep Clark and the gang busy for the most part, Lana Lang(love interest) making up for the rest.
It's played poorly and the term cliff hanger doesn't even begin to cover it, but over all it's probably a fun show for teenagers. Yes, it could use better writing and a faster pace, it could use a lot of things including a change of tone(because for the most part the show gives one the impression that it's talking down to you), however if you've got time to kill and above all you're in your early teens, give it a go, especially if you're a comic book fan or a fan of Superman.
