Up to episode 7 now and it's getting worse. I just want to watch a comic book action show. Instead i'm getting drawn out sub plots about depressing as hell cancer and sappy relationship dramas. They should start airing this in the afternoon with the other daytime soap operas. At this point it would fit right in.
shareThe cancer stuff made me stop watching Season 3. I stopped 3 episodes in.
It just felt very out of place in a Superman show. And it hit way too close to home for me. I don't have any family members with cancer, but the whole "sick parent" angle and whatnot kind of got to me since I grew up with a very sick parent.
I think Lois' cancer arc hit close to home for a LOT of people. I mean, I get what the writers were trying to do, but I want to watch a Superman show. Not a medical drama about traumatic real life issues like cancer and sickness. As dreary as Man of Steel is, I'd honestly sit through 2 and a half hours of that movie again than subject myself to finishing the rest of S&L season 3.
