<body><![CDATA[AmericaΓÇÖs obsession with making swanky versions of Hollyoaks out of the classics ΓÇô and to some of us, a good comic book is far more ΓÇ£classicΓÇ¥ than Baz LuhrmannΓÇÖs Romeo + Juliet ΓÇô shows no sign of abating, and in Smallville there is persuasive evidence that this is a very fine thing. Smallville is home to Clark Kent (Tom Welling), who, like most teenagers, carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. The only thing out of the ordinary is that Kent, being Superman, can support that weight. Now firmly settled in Kansas (and if you have to ask why, you really need series one), our hero has to juggle his secret powers ΓÇô and keeping them that way while dogged by snooping reporters, inquisitive friends and the soon-to-be-dreaded Lex Luthor ΓÇô with typical teen-show fare involving hormones, dating and meddling adults. Save the planet or snog the girl of your dreams? ItΓÇÖs warm, witty and dark, and satisfies both superhero nerds and the 90210 demographic.]]></body>
