they do take a lot of liberties, but they have managed to take an icon that the world has worshiped for almost 70 years and completely take a fresh, new and fascinating journey that hasn't ever been explored before. It's kinda like finding the missing parts of jesus life as a teenager and watching him come to grips, before becoming the worlds savior, and both have had liberties taken with their journies.
Sure without watching it, any fan of superman will say that the show is blasphemy, having lex and clark be friends as teens, having lois lane and clark know eachother, the whole relationship Clark has with Jor-El, Jor-Els part on the show, etc. (Though you will appreciate that Terrance "Zod" Stamp, voices Jor-El, its a nice touch).
At the same time, I also applaud the "no tights, no flights" rule they adhere by, so you completely disassociate that this is not superman, this is the still developing teen who will one day become the earths savior but he does not yet know his place in the world and is still discovering his abilities, day by day, like x-ray vision, heat vision, his "allergy" to kryptonite, the different types of kryptonite, as well as the fact he has no clue he can fly yet and even has a fear of heights.
I will say the first season was a little weak, cause they were still getting their feet wet with where to take the show. Once they got off the whole freak of the week stuff, and concentrated more on the relationships between the characters and their issues, especially Lex & Clark, the show took off. It honestly gets better and better with every season.
I will also say that while the whole clark kent aspect is wonderful to watch, michael rosenbaum does tend to steal the show, its just as interesting to watch Lex Luthor progress as well, he gives new life to Lex.
