You might wonder if the cast that put this movie together is special. Well, there are truly so many stars and actors who are already household names. You've also got "Aaron Pierre" who's known for his remarkable roles on-screen and as an actor! There is a very important connection between a special DC Comics show and what brought the spotlight onto Pierre.

He's had some success, and starred in other, critically acclaimed films such as "Brother". Even though he got to be in "Genius." You won't find this show on every single streaming site though.

It was "Krypton," a series based in the DC universe that launched his incredible career! A show with some super awesome special effects! What was even more surprising! This was actually cancelled. "Krypton," which has a pretty remarkable rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Krypton was given a score of 80%, an interesting testament to how enjoyable it actually is. In fact, you'll see a big change in Season 2. This was actually given higher reviews! What wasn't expected was that the show was cancelled.

A Perfect Match for Rebel Ridge:

While it was unfortunate for Krypton to get cancelled. It was an amazing moment for Pierre, who was just getting started in Hollywood!

"Krypton" is one of those great series that had incredible visual effects. A show with an interesting look at the DC universe. The special thing about the series is it took place before Superman ever became this popular figure that we love to watch!

The character that Pierre played in the series "Krypton," had an awesome story that was filled with tons of action and was set before Superman's world was well established!

The show may have been cancelled but this is a real case of a special story. If "Krypton" had never come out there may be a good chance Pierre may not have had such an amazing experience and would not have been on the Netflix platform that many fans recognize today! But that's a really fascinating aspect that comes together from the world of super heroes.
