My first reaction when watching Smallville for the first time was "it's so colorful!".

I don't understand what's with the bleak, dark, gritty, teeth grinding dramas of today (cough Andor cough).

I wouldn't mind them existing, but there's too little of color, music and fun procedurals with a slight edge.

Or imaginative adventure movies that take us on miraculous journeys, even with bad CGI.

There's enough drama IRL, thank you.
