	Author	Review
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"'Smallville' picks and chooses from the vast array of characters in the Superman comic-book mythology, and adds its own twists (...). It all seems to be coming together: myth, revelations, and romantic commitment"	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"Superman purists won't like it. People abnormally devoted to established teenage shows from which it borrows won't like it. But anyone with a flexible streak should find plenty to admire in 'Smallville' (...) [it] is an odd mix of imitation and innovation"	POS
United States	The Hollywood Reporter	"Purists might balk, but (...) the latest retelling of the Superman tale is a brilliant blend of tradition and contemporary sensibility. Not only is it a Superman for a new generation, it's a Superman for every generation."	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"There's talent and intelligence at work in 'Smallville'. Given time, maybe they'll find a more distinctive voice...And that would be super."	POS
United States	Steven Oxman Variety	"Ultimately, though, the familiarity of the story might work against the show (...) people may feel they've already seen this before and know where it goes."	NEU
