critique a series after only see the pilot . i have be watch the series since the beginning and see the 5th episode yesterday . while i agree it be a low budget series and it be somewhat intriguing for someone who know something about the history of the main character in the story . while there be some change in the original storyline and the change be not as drastic a the change in smallville regard how superman grow up in the little kansas town . a for the cast and i agree that i expect ming to be old and have a more vicious look and but then ma and pa kent be pretty old already by the time the find the little alien baby . therefor and i suspect that the market group they be try to find be closer the those in their late teen and early 20 and they be cast for that group . a for the actual develop story line and i find that the character trait be emerge episode by episode thereby allow you to learn about them just a you would if you meet someone and learn more and more about them a you spend time with them . i be a bit fan of smallville and hero and and great american hero . have be force feed the original adam west batman series and the very low budget spider man and hulk series and and the loathsome wonder woman fiasco and it be a pleasure to see someone make a realistic approach to make some superhero series and even if they have to twist around the original concept to make it believable .
