From the sounds of it they've had a lot of input into the show.

The above average special effects is due to them financing a lot of money and I heard they also brought on board staff-members like writers.

It would explain why the show's tone feels kinda different from Supergirl or the other CW shows.

Like, outside of Diggle's cameo and the fact they're using the same actors for Lois and Clark, it'd be easy to think this is a different universe.

It does feel pretty disconnected from the rest of the Arrowverse.

Honestly, that might be to its advantage.

We all agree these current seasons haven't been all that great.

I've had no interest in watching Black Lighting, Legends or Batwoman, The Flash was massively weak sauce this year, and I don't even know what to say about Supergirl. I don't think it's been bad, but it's also the final season.

Superman and Lois is the only show that's felt strong.

Should be noted that Naomi is the only new Arrowverse show in the pipeline.

Presumably they'll be some crossover over there since Superman actually has some involvement in her story.

So they could start something of a new era with Superman at the forefront.

It's not even clear yet whether or not Naomi will be set in the Arrowverse.

If it helps from what I know of Naomi the general setting of the show should be a small town similar to this show but without trips to the big city and such.

So it can work perfectly in a standalone tale. Which really Naomi is gonna need it since shes a total newbie.

Fun fact: Jenna Dewan and Emmanuelle Chriqui (who plays Lana) are very close friends IRL. I wonder if that helped.

I wonder if she'll be in the army again like in the beginning of Supergirl.

It's especially cool they found the original actress too.

I like that.

Nice to see it return so early! I just hope they keep up that level of production value.

The show finally starts in the UK on Saturday. I guess no pay broadcaster or streamer wanted it as it ended up on BBC One. I hope they air seasons 1 and 2 back to back, as season 2 will have started in the US by the time they finish season 1 here.

The Season Two premiere just dropped yesterday with Naomi, which are both available to watch on The CW's website for free.

[up] Krypton, which is also available on the CW app, has a really good adaptation of Doomsday. I hope this one measures up, or exceeds it.

So new military guy is predictably a prick. Any guesses as to what supervillain he'll inevitably become? Metallo? Given all the set-up they're putting into Death and Reign, maybe Cyborg-Superman?
