The Gifted

#1 Post by tay666 »

Another comic related TV show started last night.
This one on FOX.
And I have to say, looked really good.

The characters were cool, and well realized. Production values are really good, and I got sucked in right away.
No waiting for it to find it's legs with this one.

Almost gave this a pass, as I really wasn't interested in another mutant show.
But it has Amy Acker, so I had to give it a look. Glad I did.

Here is a teaser of the first 6 minutes of the series.

Only issue I have, is it is already pretty intense. And you know as it goes, they are going to ramp things up even more. So I don't know how sustainable it is.
But I am definitely giving it a much longer look.

They should let somebody guest appear from X-men movies..
Jean Grey Cyclops it would add more to this story I have watched
all the movies a little confused with this timeline.

Of the two Marvel realm TV shows debuting this month, this one is by far the best. Good characters, better acting, better potential, best effects.

I also watched and though it was very good.Some of the mutants are in the X Men universe like Thunderbird and Blink. I read that they will go into why there are no X Men or Brotherhood.Something like a 911 event went down and that is why they are hunted.

I watched it...but it's just another 'mutie gotta be hunted down' show.

Wasn't I already watching a version of this on Netflix... something to do with
"Hairies"?! down under? (kept thinking, man this show don't like pygmies!!!)

But I'm a sucker so I tuned in.

Well, last night was the 2 hour season finale.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. Definitely a fun ride.
My fears of being able to sustain the intensity were unfounded. They kept thing nice and intense most of the time, without making it tiring or too unbelievable.

The only real issue I had was I never really connected with any of the characters.
They were all cool, but I never really stressed about the fates of any of them.

I enjoyed the Finale too. She had choice dealing a Nazi like scientist.
I think it meant to lead up something really big really enjoying
all references from movies and comics hellfire club.
The Struckers I think they are related to baron strucker the red skull?
