	Author	Review
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Any series that looks and feels, at least 50 percent of the time, like a spoof is already in a pretty bad spot (...) A little more enthusiasm and zing from everyone would have been welcome."	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"'Krypton' is good, not super. Yet based on first impressions, that 'S'-like symbol could just as easily stand for 'surprising' and 'satisfying'."	POS
United States	Merrill Barr Forbes	"'Krypton' is a pretty show with a rich world (...) Unfortunately, the fears of 'who wants to watch a Superman show without Superman' are confirmed as things move along."	NEU
United Kingdom	Charles Bramesco The Guardian	"Bland Superman TV prequel lacks superpowers (...) [It] has flashes of potential but fails to provide enough interesting backstory to make it worthwhile (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Laura Prudom IGN	"[After watching the pilot] it's not quite super yet, but 'Krypton' shows potential with a strong cast and stunning production design."	POS
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"To its credit, 'Krypton' is busy with a few inspired plots (...) The biggest problem with this series is its lack of distinct aesthetic."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a very slow moving prequel to 'Superman' (...) The action is sporadic and the special effects are, well, not all that special (...) The cast is appealing"	NEU
