REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 1, Episode 13 “Fail Safe”
“Fail Safe” is one of those “taking stock” episodes following a big event. It isn’t flashy or exciting, and it won’t be anyone’s favorite, but it’s important to catch up with the characters and see how something as cataclysmic as humanity almost being wiped out by a psychotic alien w...
