![]() Val-El apparently survived to present day, Jayna-Zod was named Alura-Zod, and a few other things including something as simple as Lyta’s hair were extremely different. Some of the elements made it all the way through - note that the first episode as aired had two credited directors - but there were other things that were much different. In Summer 2017, about nine months before Krypton premiered, a trailer for the series leaked - and the footage was vastly different. The Extras: Before I get into the extras I should probably talk about the great extra that is not on the set. If they don’t remember, will they buy a Blu-ray or DVD set? Thankfully, the set re-energized me a bit, getting me ready for Season 2’s premiere whenever it comes, but it’s been so long that I think a lot of audience may have forgotten what the series even was. So, sadly, even my own excitement for the show had died down. As far as I know, Syfy has not aired repeats, and the show won’t land on DC Universe for a while yet. It has been something like 9 months since we last saw the series. I will say, though, that the timing of this Blu-ray release is a bit odd, and this is coming from someone who loved Krypton. The show is also helped by elements like the best live-action interpretation of Brainiac to date, as played by Blake Ritson, the sly Nyssa (Wallis Day), and a character played by Colin Salmon who comes in around Episode 5 who turns the show on its ear. While some episodes do admittedly get a little claustrophobic, there are some twists and turns that happen in the short season that leave the viewer hungry for more. Honestly, when the concept of the series first came up I was very skeptical, but a lot of the elements of the show, including some elements from present day, really made Krypton a series worth watching. His family or “house” – the House of El – has been shunned and made classless as part of the Rankless, the lower class on the planet Krypton. Perhaps you’ve heard of it.)įor those who aren’t familiar with what Krypton was or is, here’s the short version: Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe) is the grandfather of Superman. (Toprak was also the composer of the recent #1 movie Captain Marvel. ![]() The upgraded picture alone makes it worth it, and Pinar Toprak’s score is top-notch, especially when bits of the John Williams Superman theme creep in. ![]() When the series makes use of colors and imagery - especially in places like Val-El’s Fortress of Solitude, when we see things like Superman’s cape - that is when it looks its best. The Episodes: I thought most episodes of Krypton looked and sounded really good on Syfy, but I will say that the Blu-ray upgrade for the series makes it look even better. The Season 1 Blu-ray set contains all 10 episodes from Season 1 as well as extras including two featurettes, the 2017 Comic-Con panel, a gag reel, and deleted scenes. Home Entertainment has provided KryptonSite with a free copy of the Blu-ray set to review in this post. The complete first season of Krypton has been released to Blu-ray and DVD as of last week - you can order your copy here - and Warner Bros.
