The basic premise of the show is still excellent. The Kents live their lives in Smallville and raise their teenage sons. Lois works for the local Smallville Gazette. Bizarro and Lana's sister, Lucy Lane, enter the scene. The cliffhanger from the previous series is developed into the storyline of Natalie Lane Irons and John Henry Irons, characters from an alternate universe who have superhero alter egos as Steel in the comics. Yes, this is directly related to the movie Steel and the episode Heavy Metal from the series Superman: The Animated Series.

An excellent movie, the only flaw of which is that it is not a typical Tim Burton film full of nihilism and attractions. And none of his notorious actors are cast here - Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, or Eva Green. In the eyes of some, Burton filmed a heretical civilian film against his trademark (although he at least kept Danny Elfman). The masses did not forgive him for this - we can see it in the weak response. But bold viewers who do not like boxes get to see an interesting biography of Margaret Keane (1927-2022) and Walter Keane (1915-2000) and the acting performances of Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz. It is a story of awakened emancipation in art from the late 50s and 60s, making it an incredible spectacle into the world of men, (un)fulfilled ambitions, kitsch, and hypocrisy in modern art. Neither of the spouses won over my heart because both had their flaws, but that also made it more audience-friendly.

A very satisfying continuation. The second series focuses on the relationship between Anne Lister and Ann Walker and, of course, Mariana Lawton reaches her peak, as promised by the posters. Yes, certainly, the realities of the 1830s may not be to everyone's taste, but they are presented very understandably here. After all, even today's viewer understands very well the efforts of relatives to enrich themselves at the expense of the seemingly weakest link. In this case, the planned victim is Ann Walker and when the rumors based on her relationship with Anne Lister fail, her brother-in-law will try to impoverish her on the basis of feeble-mindedness. But there is a beautiful message in the final episode that you can read in its title. You can't sue what's not illegal. No matter what greedy and slanderous people think. Another series would be nice, but even this way it's a good and functional whole.
