reasons why you should watch Smallville
1) Because Lois Lane is wonderful.
2) For the Lex/Clark interactions, especially as they get increasingly on opposite sides.
3) For Lionel Luthor, who is brilliant as a villain, and even better as an anti-hero.
4) For Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) arguing repeatedly with Clark about how superheroing is supposed to work.
5) As a silly spot-the-in-joke game, where you try to pick every reference thrown in for Superman fans.
6) For some actually quite decent special effects.
7) Because the Lois/Clark romance is REALLY GOOD.

Seasons 1–4 are the high school years, with a lot of monster-of-the-week episodes.
Seasons 5–7 are the dark years, where things are more serious, and Clark's trying to figure out his place in the world.
Seasons 8–10 are the superhero years, where Clark's working at the Daily Planet and moonlighting as a superhero ("The Blur" rather than "Superman"), and various other Justice League members are making regular appearances (with Green Arrow as part of the main cast). This is also when Clark and Lois fall in love.
In my opinion, the show gets better the more superheroey it is. So I'm LOVING my rewatch of the later seasons.

That's good to know.
