Best show ever made!!!!

Minor spoilers

I absolutely love this show, i have gone through all 10 seasons at least three times, and i probably will three or four more in my lifetime because i NEVER get tired of watching it. The actors are amazing, each delivering a powerhouse performance episode after episode, they have incredible chemistry, and they all grow and mature and come into there own as great actors as the show goes on and we grow with them. When i think of the characters in superman and the justice league, these actors are what i picture. The story is original and compelling with plenty of plot twists, conspiracies, character alterations, and original episode ideas to keep you on edge and make you not wanna wait for the net episode. The action is great, it's hard to make superman look bad ass because let's face it he's so freaking powerful that he easily triumphs any normal criminal, however this show had plenty of powerful adversaries and horrible situations for him to overcome. The side characters, especially oliver queen/green arrow and Chloe Sullivan, are wonderful and really add a whole new element to the show. You see Chloe grow from a high school girl with a crush and a taste for the weird into a powerful ally to Clark and the other superheroes in this show, and green arrow is just awesome, Justin Hartley is the perfect lie action depiction of the emerald archer (even outshining the main character from arrow). The drama, wish is probably the most controversial part of this show, is outstanding as well, with plenty of heart wrenching tear jerking moments (including the only moment in TV history to ever bring a tear to my eye) as well as many fulfilling moments that will bring a smile to your face and make you yell finally. Overall though, the most amazing thing about this show is the evolution of Clark Kent and lex Luther, who are the two best characters in the show. You see Clark grow from the well mannered farm boy discovering his powers into a powerful man inspiring so many people to be the best they can be and set true heroes down the right path, and tom welling pulls it off flawlessly, especially in the last season. You really believe this is the man who becomes superman. You also see lex grow from the spoiled rich kid who wants desperately to step out from his fathers bad name and do some good in the new town he calls home to becoming darker and darker and more evil as the show goes on. I'll admit this transformation was the hardest for me to see, i loved lex in the first few seasons when he was Clark's best friend, it saddened me to see him turn into the villain. We also see that friendship turn into a rivalry and eventually it becomes the hero villain struggle wed all expect. You also get insight into why they each turned out the way they did.

The humor, the action, the drama, everything about this show is just amazing
