Pilot Review: Krypton

In lieu of a review of the Krypton series premiere here on KryptonSite, webmaster Craig Byrne has contributed his thoughts about the series to the very large website Collider.

You can find the review here; this is how it begins:

When the news first hit in late 2014 that Syfy would have a series focusing on the life of Superman’s grandfather Seg-El on his home planet Krypton, it was met with yawns. While the Krypton-based sequences of Man of Steel were among the best parts of the movie, it was questionable if a series about power struggles on a planet that we all know would explode is a concept that would work.

Fortunately, thanks to a likable cast, some beautiful imagery, a slightly retooled concept and a high-quality production, Krypton exceeds those initial impressions and comes out firmly on the side of being something good.
