Was season 2 any good? I heard good buzz around season 1 but nothing about 2.

Two was a muddled mess with a villain arc that lasted forever.

S2 was a step down but still good. It definitely felt a little more scattered and seat-of-the-pants than S1, probably for all the obvious reasons (budget issues, pandemic issues, having an anti-vaxxer fucking up the production) but the core of the show was still really solid, and the characterization was still on point.

Wasn't this show a spinoff from Supergirl? I thought they already had Lex casted.

I think it was supposed to be? but in S2 they revealed that it's set in a different universe where Superman is the only superhero on Earth.

Even in Season 1 it was mostly divorced from the rest of the Arrowverse. The S2 confirmation was essentially exactly that: A confirmation. Up to that point it seemed pretty standalone in everything but name anyway.

Wild. Probably for the best if the show is gonna be successful, since the Arrowverse is basically done. I gotta say I already prefer this guy as Lex without seeing anything lol. Jon Cryer was an... Interesting choice.

I thought it was fine to pretty good at times just not as great as season one. The “villain” that was introduced pretty early on was one of the better parts of the season, as was his storyline. The overarching villain wasn’t that great.

I’d say some of the strengths and reason why I liked season one were still there, that being the great portrayal of Superman/Clark by Tyler Hoechlin. As well as Lois, John Henry, Jordan, Tal-Rho, and then Natalie was a pretty good addition to the show also. The relationship drama was not good and I hope season 3 doesn’t have much of it. I’d say overall the season is worth watching for sure.

Yeah the overarching villain really didn’t do it for me. I’m also very tired of the whole “same actor but different character” trope that CW has done to death already to save on costs of hiring other actors.

Not really season 2 was kinda dogshit to be honest

It was any good for sure. Not the best though, definitely not the best, but that season was hell to film with numerous delays and COVID shut downs. The finale acknowledges a lot of the fuck ups throughout the season especially when it comes to how characters were written.
