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...
