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

AlexGherzo | Jun 7, 2023 | 0

“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 &...

REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 3, Episode 10, “Collision Course”

AlexGherzo | May 31, 2023 | 0

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 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...

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 7, “Forever and Always”

AlexGherzo | May 3, 2023 | 0

“Forever and Always” is a step in the right direction for Superman & Lois, especially because it deals more heavily with Bruno Manheim than it has so far. Lois’ cancer diagnosis is also used well, emphasizing the contrast between Clark and Manheim and exploring how her sons feel about her ...

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, ...
