REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 13, “A New World Part 4”

AlexGherzo | May 25, 2023 | 0

The Flash has been a bumpy road. It started almost impeccably with an outstanding first season; unfortunately, that would also prove to be its best season. The following two were very good, but as The Flash moved to the middle of its run, it showed signs of wear. The writers struggled to make their ...

REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 3, Episode 9 “The Dress”

Superman & Lois feels like its old self again in “The Dress,” a fantastic, character-driven episode that strikes the most human chord this season has yet. Lois’ cancer is front and center again, but it’s handled much better than it had been previously, in an honest way that humanizes thr...

REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 3, Episode 8 “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”

AlexGherzo | May 10, 2023 | 0

For the first half of “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” (Is every episode this season named after a movie? Must remember to investigate further), I was settling in for a decent but kind of blah episode – more Lois’ cancer, more teen and relationship drama, lots of talking about these things, ...

REVIEW: The Flash Season 9, Episode 10, “A New World Part 1”

AlexGherzo | May 4, 2023 | 0

Much of The Flash’s final season has been disappointing at best, but last week’s stellar episode made wading through that swamp worth it. It was so good I wondered if it should have been the finale, closing out the series on a high note instead of rolling the dice with four more episodes. But if...
