REVIEW: Superman & Lois – Season 2, Episode 11 “Truth and Consequences”
The Superman family (which is easier than saying “the Kent/Lanes”) have been on a bumpy path this season. “Truth and Consequences” takes the characters one step forward and two steps back, but not in a bad way.

Clark struggles to deal with Jonathan’s drug use, and Lois wonders if they’re crossing a line with their son.…
The Flash and Superman & Lois Renewed
The fight never ends for a true hero – at least not this TV season. The CW network has renewed The Flash and Superman & Lois, two of its remaining Arrowverse series (and easily its best ones – to be fair, I’ve yet to subject myself to Batwoman outside of its entry in the abysmally…
