Superman and Lois season 3 review

Superman and Lois season 3 review 

Intro: Whose idea wasn't to bring (Censor) into this series?

Superman and Lois season 3: This season is about Clark and Lois investigating Bruno Manheim and that investigation leads them to an old case where they could have been wrong. On top of that the Kents received so bad news that could affect the family forever. So, Lois and Clark have to figure out what Bruno is planning and work past their family issues the best they can. 

This isn't a bad season but it's by the numbers. I feel bad for saying that because the quality of the show hasn't changed but the writing is problematic. The writers set up plot points with no payoff. The music is not uplifting most of the time which gives me the impression that this season is going to be moody. This season could have ended two episodes ago, you'll understand why when you watch this season. You can argue that this season could have been about power corrupts absolutely but this season didn't do the best job of reinforcing that theme. Since this series has so many characters all of them are not going to be used in the story. Speaking of characters, I don't like who was introduced in the last episode. I wish doing that won't come at the expense of another character. Also, some of the action scenes are underwhelming. 

 

I'm letdown that this season didn't give Clark/Superman any development. The creators could have with what was going on with Lois and Bruno Manheim. Considering how Clark lost both of his parents I'm surprised that Lois situation didn't affect him as much as it did. The way he trains Jordan bothers me because it kind of goes against how he handled things in the field. 

 

Speaking of Lois, I'm not crazy about the direction the writers took with her. It wasn't bad however it didn't do anything for the characters or the story. Everyone is going through the motions of her situation. So, what was the point of that if there's no payoff? 

 

Jordan is a royal pain in this season. He ruined any chance of getting back with Sarah and he throws caught to the wind when it comes to his powers. That's what bugs me about him I mean I thought he learned about being responsible with his powers in season one. 

 

We see how much Johnathan has matured since last season. We see him trying to make amends for what he did.  

Sarah is an idiot this season. She keeps getting herself in trouble and I'm suppose to feel sorry for her. No! No! No!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only complaint I have with her besides dumping Jordan for no reason, is she forgave her mom too easily I mean what she did is a big deal. 

The writers haven't done much with Natalie Irons beyond giving her a love interest. That was a problem because that was it was rusted and the creators made it a Romeo and Juliet situation.

Bruno Manheim (the main villain) is not as menacing as his comic book counterpart. He's a guy who's trying to better his community while doing shady things. He doesn't see Superman helping people I mean to him he just putting a band-aid on things. One of the problems I have with him is we don't know why he did all the things he did this season. I kind of wish that the producers cast someone who wasn't that good-looking to play Manheim as a joke on his middle name. But that could create fake outrage I mean I bet that those people wouldn't hang out or date someone like that.  

The one thing I like about this season is how it ended because it can go in so many different directions for season 4. Despite how I feel about what this season did with Lois, I respect it for handling it so well. Overall, this season could have been better. I would recommend this if you like drama.
