SmallvilleTV-show · 2001
Obsessed with origin stories and a dash of teen angst? Smallville delivers the goods as we watch Clark Kent try to live a normal life while secretly having superpowers. The tension between Clark, his first love Lana Lang, and his complicated bestie-turned-nemesis Lex Luthor is *chef's kiss* drama. It's got all the small-town vibes mixed with meteor freak-of-the-week threats, plus young Tom Welling figuring out his whole hero thing. Seriously, this show invented the 'super-powered hottie trying to be normal' trope and we are still obsessed.
Smallville reimagines the origin story of Superman, focusing on Clark Kent's formative years in the titular Kansas town. Before he dons the cape, Clark grapples with his burgeoning powers and alien heritage while navigating typical high school drama. He forms a complex friendship with a young Lex Luthor and falls for his longtime crush, Lana Lang. The series explores his journey to understanding his destiny, balancing everyday life with extraordinary challenges.
Super heroes emerge from the shadows, only to be driven underground by a public that labels them vigilantes. At the same time, otherworld forces of darkness gather, presenting Clark Kent with the greatest challenge of his young life. The world he calls home and the people he loves - including Lois Lane, who now shares his secret and his life - need a champion. Don't miss all the hopes, heartaches and heroics of a final season to remember. They will lift you up, up and away.
