DC on TV discussion

Penned by David S. Goyer (Man of Steel) and Ian Goldberg (Once Upon a Time), Krypton is set two generations before the destruction of Superman’s home planet and follows the future Man of Steel’s forefather — Seg-El (played by The Halcyon‘s Cameron Cuffe), whose House of El was ostracized and shamed — as he fights to redeem his family’s honor and save his beloved world from chaos.

The cast also includes Georgina Campbell (Broadchurch) as Lyta Zod, a military cadet and Seg-El’s romantic interest; Ian McElhinney (Game of Thrones) as Seg-El’s own grandpa, a genius fascinated by space exploration; Rasmus Hardiker (Black Mirror) as Seg-El’s best friend; Elliot Cowen (Da Vinci’s Demons) as chief magistrate Daron Vex; and Wallis Day (The Royals) as Daron’s daughter Nyssa.

Sleepy Hollow vet Damian Kindler is set as showrunner and will serve as an EP alongside Goyer. Doctor Who/Sherlock helmer Colm McCarthy directed the pilot.

Could be interesting, as it can't rely too much on easter eggs and winks to the future to get by, but the trailer was very dark ( tone and literally) and at best felt 'okay'.

Wait and see, but not wildly excited about this one.

Really I've never been that interested in other people from Krypton pre-explosion besides how it relates to Superman mythos, but I'll give it a shot.

Sci-fi network definitely isn't my favorite either.

But SyFy brought us classics such as Mega Python vs Gatoroid.... Oh that doesn't help at all does it?

Actually, if there will be giant monster fights then the Krypton TV show gets my interest.

Ha, no. I'm still traumatized by that weird movie with Gunnar Hansen called Mosquito.

So... the Krypton premier is just a couple day away...
I watched a The Making of show for this and it looks decent - certainly worth checking out...
anyone else going to be watching..?

I have an interest but since I'm about a season behind on every comic related show, I probably won't rush.

The first episode was decent I think - worth following for now.. but nothing more.
That's my two cents

You're not the only one. We just now got caught up with Flash's last season, and I'm behind this entire season of Gotham. I'm like that with every TV show right now, though, not just the superhero themed. I've even only seen two episodes of this seasons Walking Dead.

I'm not that excited about this one but I'll give it a shot.
