REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 2, Episode 9 “30 Days and 30 Nights”

AlexGherzo | Mar 30, 2022 | 0

“30 Days and 30 Nights” is the episode without a Superman, and that it works so well affirms the strength of Superman & Lois’ supporting cast – especially Jon and Jordan, the Kent twins who are becoming almost as compelling as their legendary father. This isn’t a perfect episode – Lo...

REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 2, Episode 8 “Into Oblivion”

AlexGherzo | Mar 23, 2022 | 0

While nothing spectacular happens, “Into Oblivion” is another strong episode, moving the plot and character arcs forward in unexpected ways. It also makes a good argument not just for Superman but for superhero stories in general. Clark struggles to deal with Jonathan’s drug use, and Lois wond...

“Girl… You’ll Be a Woman Soon” is my favorite kind of episode. It uses what seems like a self-contained story to significantly advance the season’s main plot. (Buffy the Vampire Slayer was masterful at this.) Here, the centerpiece is Sarah’s quinceañera, an event that reveals secrets fr...

REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 2, Episode 4 “The Inverse Method”

AlexGherzo | Feb 5, 2022 | 0

After a draggy and unfocused – or, more accurately, improperly focused – third episode, Superman & Lois quickly rights itself. “The Inverse Method” jumpstarts all of the various plot threads using a unifying theme that causes much more trouble than it solves and sets up a rocky road for ...
