August TV Finales - Superman & Lois - Season One

Superman & Lois finally wraps for its first season. Commencing in late February with five (six if you count the pilot being a double episode) episodes ahead of a lengthy break till mid May. The show played through May/June before a number of breaks giving fans two episodes in July along with two in August.

Tyler Hoechlin is extremely likeable as father to two boys/ Clark Kent / Superman whilst Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane reminds me so much of Teri Hatcher. 

Already renewed for a second season (back in March), set to premiere in early 2022.


Season two was set up in the last minutes of the finale after a swift resolution of season one's big bad.

The finale was enjoyable, however not my favourite episode of the season.

While real life issues of small towns struggling with limited career opportunities, flawed heroes and villains, Superman & Lois felt much more grounded than other Arrowverse series such as The Flash & Legends of Tomorrow. Along with Batwoman this is my favourite of the remaining Arrowverse series.

With Superman & Lois concluding this makes way for the final run of Supergirl episodes. Joining Stargirl, Supergirl continues The CW commit to DC characters. Legends of Tomorrow is also set to conclude in coming weeks ahead of returning with Batwoman (now midweek on Wednesdays) mid October. The Flash will also return in November. It's tipped this will be the final season.

August TV Finales continues soon with my long awaited chat about one of the years biggest series The White Lotus. Also the short run of American Horror Stories ahead of the parent series returning soon.
