Smallville: Season 3
Clark Kent lives in Smallville, but in many ways he's out of this world - and so is this spectacular series that provides a fascinating spin on Superman lore. Season 3 is marked by Clark's inability to overpower destiny and its pressing call for his return home. Clark, who has left Smallville for Metropolis, returns to Smallville to help his parents, who are desperately trying to save their cash-strapped farm, and is happily surprised to find that Lex Luthor has survived a deadly jet crash. Lex and Clark's ill-fated camaraderie is strengthened by this miracle but causes tension in the close-knit Kent family, as Jonathan fears that Lex will emulate Lionel and his unscrupulous ways, even while Lex has tried to establish his own identity.

Not Bad. - filmgeek
This is a very entertaining, yet formulaic and redundant show. It has almost as many bad points as it does good points.
This is not to say that the show is not watchable, it most certainly is. It just has more than its fair share of problems.
If you enjoy the character of Superman, you could do a lot worse.
On the plus side, this has got to be the most interesting and entertaining depiction of Lex Luthor ever put on the screen.
Recommended (with some reservations).Smallville: Season 3 - wacko
Season 3 has a little more excitement then the previous two. Jonathan makes a sacrifice for Clark. Clark and Lana start their on again off again thing. More is revealed about Lex Luthor’s upbringing/creation and Lex begins to show his horns. Again the episodes are well written, with very few exceptions. Characters are believable and interesting and the accompanying musical score perfectly enhances each episode.
Trivia tidbit....
Some familiar faces from previous Superman movies begin to appear as mysterious characters in this and forth coming seasons.Season you dont want to miss - fusion
Year three of pre-‘tights and flights’ Superman amply proved the Smallville concept still had legs, with welcome hints at the wider Superman lore (Pa Kent’s ‘secret deal’ with Jor-El and an early intro for Clark’s future boss, Perry White) and characters taking some dark directions. Notably, the appearance of the late Christopher Reeve combines intrigue with poignancy.
Eight episodes offer deleted scenes, while three episode commentaries are greatly enlivened by the presence of the two Luthors, Michael Rosenbaum and John Glover. You also get webisodes, a blooper reel and Easter eggs.
