Its recurring solution to challenging Superman is giving people Kryptonian powers. More disasters to avert would have been nice, along with more chances for Clark to be amiable, which he does really well. Lois gets the investigative challenges and parental conflicts, and they share parenting ones. Smallville as a recession-hit dead end town rather than the Norman Rockwell idyll gets some good early showing but later gets a bit lost in the shuffle. But on the whole the mix of supers and soap works, helped by Jonathan and Jordan and their peers being interesting and sometimes fun characters as well. Jordan’s mental health issues, mostly touched on lightly, added a lot.
