Smallville (TV Series 2001–2011)

Look. This show is not good. It's a true time capsule of the 2000s (it ended in 2011) and the character work being done here does no one favors. However, it's hard to look away from Tom Welling's earnest offering as Clark Kent as he becomes the hero that we know as Superman. You can get through all 10 seasons in about a month if you really wanted to.
