Krypton is currently streaming in the UK on ITVX Premium, and it earns its premise rather than just borrowing genre trappings. 2 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Cameron Cuffe anchors it with a performance that grounds the bigger ideas in something human. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on ITVX Premium.

Krypton arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. What makes Krypton work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. Set two generations before the destruction of the legendary Man of Steel’s home planet, Krypton follows Superman’s grandfather — whose House of El was ostracized and shamed — as he fights to redeem his family’s honor and save his beloved world from chaos. Cameron Cuffe and Georgina Campbell lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. It ran for 2 seasons (2018–2019), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The rules of Krypton's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find Krypton genuinely rewarding. Fans of Black Lightning will recognise the sensibility here immediately. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Cameron Cuffe's performance is the anchor the more ambitious moments need. The world-building pays off in ways you will not anticipate on a first watch.

Krypton was cancelled in 2019, created by David S. Goyer — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
