REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 3, Episode 13, “What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger”

AlexGherzo | Jun 28, 2023 | 0

Superman & Lois has had an uneven third season, so it’s fitting that the finale, “What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger,” follows suit. Most of the episode is great – percentage-wise, more than the season – but parts of it either don’t make sense or grate on your nerves, leaving you...

REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 3, Episode 12, “Injustice”

AlexGherzo | Jun 22, 2023 | 0

I saw the title “Injustice” a couple of months back on IMDb and wondered if Superman & Lois’ third season was going to get much, much bigger by the end. It hasn’t, at least not in the way that title would imply. But “Injustice” does feel like it’s upped the ante for the show, as &h...

REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 3, Episode 11, “Complications”

“Complications” is one of those episodes that feels like it should be the season finale but comes a couple of weeks early. There are still two more episodes left in season 3, but this would have made a satisfying endpoint. The main plotlines come to a head – one better than the other – and &...

How they refrained from calling this episode “Cat’s in the Cradle” I’ll never know, but they resisted. “Collision Course” is another decent entry in the trying third season of Superman & Lois, with some good plotlines and payoffs for the cancer arc mixed with annoying or incomprehens...

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: Superman & Lois – Season 3, Episode 6 “Of Sound Mind”

AlexGherzo | Apr 26, 2023 | 0

With “Of Sound Mind,” Superman & Lois has officially become a CW show – or, more accurately, a Greg Berlanti show after the veil has been removed. It’s no longer about showing Superman in a positive light, talking about his virtues and why he still matters. He’s become a punching bag, ...
