Hero TV: The Shows we Lost in 2019

While in many ways it is the era of hero tv (and movies), 2019 carved a bloody swath through the shows that were around. This is my look back at the series that didn’t make it to 2020.

Krypton: The Alpha and The Omega

I’m not sure this has happened to me before, but while I was watching “The Alpha and the Omega,” which was the season two finale for Krypton, I got word the series had been cancelled.

Krypton: Blood Moon

They have managed a few good surprises in the second season of Krypton, and a lot of the writing has gotten better. The twists have made sense and haven’t been, “Oh, let’s throw this in to shake things up.”

Krypton: Mercy

The writers on Krypton got really clever with this episode. There were some great twists and turns along the way that I did not see coming.

Krypton: Zods and Monsters

The puns on Zod’s name continue with, “Zods and Monsters.” Personally, I think that’s a bit redundant, since Zod is a monster in my book, but there are a few others in this episode.

Krypton: In Zod We Trust

Krypton didn’t have a mid-season finale, but the halfway point came with a major shock.

Krypton: Better Yesterday

Krypton hits the halfway point for its second season with “A Better Yesterday.” The rebellion against Zod continues with twists and turns on both sides. There’s a lot of ruthlessness on this planet.

Krypton: Danger Close

Things on Krypton under Zod are a mess, and the heroes are going to have trouble getting him out of power. It’ll be even harder as we learn what he’s doing to opponents he captures.

Krypton: Will To Power

Three episodes in, you could make the argument that not a lot has happened so far this season. Zod still rules Krypton, the resistance is, well, resisting, and Seg and Adam are still stuck on Colu dealing with the sorta-ghost of Brainiac and the very real Lobo.
