Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy’s acclaimed synth-laden retro-thriller details the sordid sequence of events that lands a blood-stained scrap of mail on the desk of a county post-office’s “dead letter” investigator, and its murderous repercussions.
Ten seasons ago, the then WB premièred Smallville. a youth orientated version of the Superman saga. The series was set in Smallville, which is the hometown of the Kent’s family. Before this and in 1997, another version of the Superman genre had completed its four year run, and that series was Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. So the first notion that crossed my mind when Smallville aired was “Oh not another Superman story”. It was not that Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman wasn’t a good series, it was. It was the suddenness of Smallville’s appearance that got to me. However, after these ten seasons. I can say that Smallville’s approach to the man of steel genre was a new and refreshing one. I got to see how each of the characters were interconnected and how they grew. Furthermore, I saw Clark Kent, Lex Luthor and a host of other DC Comics’ characters and superheroes turned Smallville upside down and upright again. The series grew from a shy teenage Clark with a crush on Lana Lang to the take charge and seasoned adult Clark Kent/The Blurb eager to wed Lois Lane. All I can say is great job to the cast, producers, and writers of the series. The Friday night slot where Smallville is now will have a hole in it, and its cast Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman, Allison Mack as well as its original cast members John Schneider, Annette O'Toole, Kristin Kreuk, Michael Rosenbaum and John Glover will be missed.
