Way too much cancer drama in Season 3


Was anyone else not a huge fan of all that cancer drama in Season 3? I never even finished watching the season with how much of a soap opera it became.

It just felt very out of place for a Superman show and felt like something I'd see on a daytime soap opera or Grey's Anatomy. I know CW shows have there fair share of drama, but like...can you imagine if a season of The Flash had Iris going through cancer? Or maybe a season of Arrow where Felicity got breast cancer?

Agreed, really brought down the show. Was very depressing. Cancer was literally the main villain of the show, felt like it took up 70% of the screentime. Would've expected this on the Lifetime channel, not a superhero series.
