Please don't spend money on this.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreActress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
View MoreI've just seen episode 6 of this show and it's going to be the last one I'll see. The show started out great, the pilot and the next 1-2 episodes were engaging and I was really interested in how the story was going to unfold. However, as it went on I found myself getting less and less interested as the plot was becoming ridiculous, the dialogue made me cringe, the acting was atrocious (looking at you, Polaris, with your flamboyant speech-making and posing) and the characters were just dull. Now, I've been able to watch shows that contain some of these elements and still enjoy them. But...My biggest problem with the show is the choice of focus on the Von Strucker parents. Who thought it would be a good idea to make a show about mutants and then put two incredibly boring human characters (whose only job in the show is to look worried and try to stop their kids from using their powers) as the protagonists? I mean honestly, Blink joins the Mutant Underground in the first episode as a young mutant on the run from the law... Why didn't they just make her the main character, her story seems to be the only one that's interesting anyway. Or just focus on the Von Strucker kids who have to run away from home and leave their parents behind. Maybe make the parents side characters. Honestly, if I'm watching a show about mutants, the last thing I want in it is two unbelievably boring humans calling the shots. The show had a lot of potential and I'm really sorry that the showrunners decided to go in this direction.
View MoreIt started slow, but it shows promise. Looking forward to season 2.
View More+ One nice scene every 3-4 episodes. + Thunderbird!No (zero!) progression in story.Repetitive throughout.Every single actor is allowed one single facial expression & mood throughout the show. And most of the time it's Angst.Painful dialog every 2nd line. Over-exposition every 3rd.No suspense whatsover.Repetitive throughout.No involvement in characters/lack of sympathy.Characters switching from overpowerfull to powerless all the time ("A dog sized spider robot? Too bad we only have one mutant who can tear apart stuff with telekinesis, one who can crush stuff with telekinesis, and one who can tear holes in space. #sad")Bad, bad editing. Especially in closeup dialog scenes: characters who are filmed from behind/over the should almost always suffer from a complete mismatch of spoken words vs. facial movement. Well, at least in that last episode I just watched.Super uninterresting and uninvolving subplots, like 'dat latino drug cartel.Repetitive throughout.Too bad :(
View MoreBy far the best series I have watched, you just can't wait to see what happens next.I need season 2!!
