watched the premiere of 'the gifted', not too good, not to good at all. the whole premise of the story, the acting and the writing....bad. i might go one more week, but i do have much hope.
Mixed reactions to The Inhumans as well. Maybe Marvel should diversify, and work on a Forbush Man project, or a talent show with Patsy & Hedy as judges. Ya know, with The Big Bang Theory starting to show jurassic growth, maybe the time is ripe for a soap opera involving The Merry Marvel Marching Society...?
The Gifted didn't do much for me and, as much as I like the Marvel universe, I've had about enough of the whole inhuman thing. Can't say I ever wished there was another show about it.
I give a C+ to add credablity they should have one actors from X-men movies guest star.. Cyclops Jean Grey etc. a lot better than Star Freck..
I thought it was really well done, even without any green hair. It did in one hour well what The Inhumans did poorly in two. Teenagers breaking out as homo-superior mutations, no gaudy costumes, a secret hideout or three... I'm in! I think this is something the non-fanatic can get into as well without knowing jack about all the 'universe' business. Legion is great too for the older viewer.
I'm in for a while. . . . Acker helps it. The two gals formerly on Gotham may help it, they aren't bad actresses.
What was he doing, desperately negotiating to get all the non-Marvel studios to give him his characters back?
You know, I didn't love it, I didn't hate it, but I thought it was OK. I'm still watching. I kind of chuckle that you have Bill the Vampire from True Blood and the crazy hacker lady from Person of Interest in a single show, playing very nice, personable, human roles for a change. The kids are OK but nothing special, but there's a spark in the show and it's not bad. Bryan Singer is a talented guy and I liked what he did with the X Men, and this is basically the junior TV version of the same thing.
