Wednesday isn’t the only Alfred Gough and Miles Millar hit on Netflix these days: Weeks after being made available internationally on Netflix (where, sadly, it is not available in the United States — we have to watch on Hulu), Smallville is trending globally as one of the top ten series available on Netflix. Considering the show premiered nearly 25 years ago, this is quite the accomplishment!
To those who have been reading KryptonSite for the past, well, 25 years, it should be no surprise. Superman remains popular and the story of a young Clark Kent before he ever becomes Superman (as played by Tom Welling) is the kind of story anyone can identify with if they ever felt alienated. If it wasn’t Clark they could identify with, there was a character for everyone to latch on to and love. It’s why we used to fight so much on the forums (which are now back, by the way – come post!) — Smallville was a show you could invest in, and with 218 episodes to binge, there’s a lot of Smallville to pick from on Netflix. Sure, fans can fight over who their preferred Superman is — Henry Cavill as presented by Zack Snyder, or David Corenswet as directed by James Gunn — but, why not go toward the guy who has over 200 hours of material to watch, most of which is pretty good? [Except “Ageless.” Skip “Ageless.”]
Even without this global reach, Smallville has been going through a bit of a renaissance in the past few years. There’s the annual Salute to Smallville convention, this year happening in Nashville in November, where we’ll be celebrating the 25th anniversary. There’s TalkVille and other fantastic podcasts about the show. And of course KryptonSite still exists!
Now let’s get to #1, international fans? We’re counting on you. And for those of you who have just discovered the show and came across this website, welcome! In any event, leave some comments below and tell us how you came to find Smallville.
