I've been thinking of watching it for a long time. But I'd like to know a few things before moving forward.

How is the VFX of show? Its an old and a TV show, but still, is VFX watchable?

How is the story? Which would you say has better story, Arrow or Smallville?

Smallville is extremely overrated. I didn't really care for it myself.

Arrow is better

I've seen a few episodes, and this is just my opinion, but I really really really dislike the show.

Arrow is much better, if you haven't watched it I would recommend it.

Unlike the others above me, I loved Smallville, and would rate it way above Arrow.

VFX are generally fine fine. Though, sometimes it gets cheesy.

The series is very much up and down. Some seasons are great, some are terrible. It also takes a while to find its stride, the first season in particular is incredibly dull.

Arrow doesn't have much VFX since its all relatively no-powers or low level powers, so can't say much about that. Though I prefer the story in Arrow - its faster and moves along more aggressively - though they obviously have the hindsight of Smallvile, the latter had to basically discover what worked as a superhero show - sometimes they failed sometimes they succeeded.

Lois is worth it alone though. Erica Durance's Lois is head shoulders above any other portrayal. She was amazing

Thanks. That was helpful. I am going to watch first season at least.

@rbt: Yeah just keep in mind the 1st season is the worst imo, they didn't have a clue what they were doing with the show at that point.

5 and 9 are my two favorites.
