Over the course of ten seasons, Smallville depicted Clark Kent’s journey from shy farm boy to Earth’s greatest hero. It is the longest and most complete superhero origin story ever told in live-action. In fact, it is so long that episodes from Season 10 can often feel like they come from a completely different series than those from Season 1, and to a certain extent, they do.In the sense that the series finale completes the overall narrative that began when Kal-El’s ship landed amid a meteor shower in the pilot — Tom Welling’s Clark becomes Superman — Smallville is a single 10-season series. However, at specific points throughout its run, the show broke its own mold and moved ahead as something different and new. These fundamental shifts effectively divide Smallville into three distinct eras that often feel like different series. In essence, it is a trilogy. The first, and most iconic, entry in this trilogy unfolded over Smallville’s first three seasons. This is what many people likely imagine when they think about Smallville. All of the series’ foundational elements start here: Clark’s friendship with Lex Luthor, the Clark-Lana-Chloe love triangle, kryptonite-infected villains, and general teen angst. Seasons 1 through 3 constitute Smallville’s “Classic Era.”
