Compared to the campy original movies Syfy is somewhat known for, Krypton looks like a visual masterpiece, and certainly worth checking out.
All things considered, I think it’s safe to say that Krypton won’t be set in the same universe as Supergirl, because the Syfy series looks pretty dark.
The special effects are actually pretty great, if somewhat grim.
The first hint that this version of Krypton was going to be an unfortunate planet came with the image of a city existing beneath a dome, protected from what the inhabitants had turned the landscape into over the years.
