9/10
A good cross between Alphas and Misfits
9 September 2022
Don't really get where are the hate is coming from, I found this show totally binge worthy! The music is on point, the powers are great fun and the acting is totally fine for the type of series this is aiming to be... Something that doesn't take itself too seriously and has lots of plot twists, like a Clue game but with superpowered people and mad science.

What really won me over about this show was the quirky and entertaining characters, good effects and light-but-hooking plots of fringe science.

I mean, Tilda is an amazing character, her dry wit really hooked me from the get go, while Juan and Abbi provided a sweeter and much needed counterpoint for her dark-ish personality. Plus, all the mad scientists doing this and that weird science around them, one step away from wreaking havoc was super fun. Yes, they are not the brightest peas in the pods sometimes, but I guess that is just part of the fun. Like how on Misfits most problems came from the characters itself.

I also really enjoyed a diverse cast done right, with no overall political or woke agenda. Just great characters done right, with diverse upbringings and cultural backgrounds that were intrinsically important to each character. I think anyone that likes mutants (like X-men, the Gifted, Alphas, etc.) will enjoy this show. Can't wait for a second season!
