Most people don't like reality. Why show an idyllic society if it didn't exist? I used to have an unwavering love for my home state until a few years back when I realized that it wasn't as perfect as I always thought it was. We'd like to think Krypton was perfect, but look at what they did to Seg-El's grandfather.

Like you say, people don't like reality. We get enough of the "dirty underbelly" in real life. I'd rather see a more ideal version of the future. Sort of like early Star Trek (aside from DS9, which I never really got into) or "The Orville".
But we seem to get a continuing series of "this world sucks too" shows.. The Expanse, Dark Matter, The 100, Killjoys, Defiance, the list goes on. And note most of them are SyFy network.

But I'm disappointed that the series seems to be another look at the dirty underbelly of a society, rather than a positive story of a society's development, expansion and growth.
Just for an example, clearly, the Kryptonians have space travel. What about telling the tale of their development and exploration of space?
Or it could have been a story of how they came to know that their world was doomed, it's sun was going to blow, and maybe the political intrigue that caused the govt. to silence Jor-El, rather than using whatever time they had since the discovery to save their people, migrate to another planet of something.
It seems to be ok, but it's not what I wanted it to be.

I finally got to see episode 3 last night. It is interesting how the House of Zod and House of El are intermingling...I just wonder how long this will last? Now that Lyta is a commander, she is protecting the rankless (I almost said factionless because this was done in the Divergent series).sigpic
