The Gifted

I wasn't captivated by the show. I think it suffers of the same problems of other current super hero shows: the writing. Some lines of dialogue are unnecessary (If someone just had an obvious meltdown, there is not need to ask "Are you ok?"). Something that I just don't get is people with super powers sunning away instead of using the powers. I also find particularly annoying is the Strukers, especially the parents, so dramatic and unnecessarily over protective, wanting to "help" but not by letting their kids use their powers. I find the mom particularly guilty of this in almost every scene that she is in (which again, is mainly the poor writing). This show has so much potencial, but so far is being wasted. Comic book based shows need to be written by comic book writers or at least by people familiar with the style. soap operish drama should stay in soap operas.

This is very reminiscent of Heroes and the first episode hasn't shown something we haven't seen before.

There are some token characters and basically if you've seen any of the trailers out there you've seen the first episode. The little sentinels look a little bit too much like the robots from the Matrix.

Acting is good, CGI is bearable but could do better.

Not sure where the plot is going.. is it just mutants vs the Sentinel program? Anyhow it's not a bad start but it's not great either. At this stage it's decent but it could go either way.

Very good effort! Why not season 3? What!? Can't believe it! Disney, wake up!

I really enjoy this series, good plots, good acting/actors, lots of potential...and each episode has improved as writers and directors are finding their groove.

But, please - kids, (Strucker brother and sister) - please emancipate yourselves from your constantly whining, hovering, wimpy, classic helicopter parents that are in denial about your powers and holding you back from maturing! They (parents) are the only part of the show that I cringe at, every time they are in front of the camera.

Please Make SEASON 3....We all enjoyed, want ANSWERS and more of the season.

PLEASE FOX OR MARVEL OR DISNEY.....WE ALL WANT SEASON 3
