As somebody who isn't typically fond of reviewing shows, I've decided I'd start giving my honest opinion in regards to the TV shows that have fanboys screeching about the content it's relevant to.

Cloak & Dagger is a perfect representation of its comic counterpart so far. I give this a solid 8/10, due to the fact the show has a perfect build up in the first two episodes, you learn who your characters are, you are able to connect with the characters, and you are able to feel as they feel, it is well deserving of so.

Cloak & Dagger is nothing like what has been seen with any Marvel TV show so far, and I appreciate that fact. Don't hop on the bandwagon of voting it low because other reviews are low. The track record for IMDB votes pre-release of something is terrible. Give your honest opinion after watching. It was a wonderful pilot.

Despite all the indications that this would be just another cheesy YA show, this show is actually beautifully shot and executed in a much more artful and sophisticated way.

IMDb credibility is absolute crap. You think they'd govern their review system a little better. Like not allowing the bottom feeding internet trolls to post reviews..... until the show is actually released. I loved the pilot episode. Nice very fresh take on the source material. Used to love these comics as a kid. Great that the show is good.

Season 1 was not particularly exciting (to put it mildly) but it AT LEAST had a direction and some good scenes. Also they were supposedly learning their powers and they were learning about the past and themselves.

Now 2nd seasons here. YEAH! Kick As5! Right?

Wrong. Its some psychedelic, dream, different dimensions nonsense that keeps going in circle, and is a total and utter bore to watch. Just when you were expecting them to lvl up and regroup and start being themselves the writers decided there will be more of "finding themselves" and running in a circle. The story has not progressed ONE INCH since the first season. Not. one. inch. Not to mention the acting and scenes all look so unbeliveably cheap and "we've only got 15 minutes" type of deal, its pathethic. I was looking forward to this show. Watched the first season, it had some moments. But then second season came. Better to just end the show. It reminds me of Heroes or Mr. Robot. Its just a bunch of random nonsense now.

Slow but unique. I liked the originality of the show.

There is a lot going on and can seem confusing but I liked how it played out to this point.

But having been in New Orleans many times, no one has a local accent ????

I'm not going to lie, from the previews I thought the show was going to be a typical teenage drama, I was pleasantly wrong. Not even ten minutes into the show it got my emotions going and if it weren't for my pride, I probably would've cried. The actors are great and the cinematography is beautiful, it really helps express what the show is trying to do. The writing is pretty good and intriguing. Though the only thing that sucks about the show is some of the reviews on this website that I am going to address.

Fist of all, to those who are complaining about the "political correctness" of the show, this comic book was made for political correctness. The comic book was released during the 80s, a time where the drug problem exploded here in America. The TV show is dealing with the problems of our time, including police brutality, mental health and still drugs even though it is not one of the major issues of the show

Second, for those who complain that it it is different from the comic book, most comic book adaptations are. Though this was adapted to fit in with today's world. At heart, the important things are what is the same.

Third, for this who haven't actually watched it, please watch it and absorb it. It is actually a pretty great show, if you don't let your prejiduce get in the way.

A lot of other reviews complain about the story and the writing. I thought the show found a great pace telling the story. There wasn't the modern 3 minutes of story per hour of fight scenes. Maybe that's what others thought? The Michael Bay idea that the action is the story?

My only question is how did this not get renewed.

If you like watching character development this is a good show. If you want a lot of action scenes than maybe it isn't for you.

After watching the first couple episodes, the writing on this series looks promising. The script is much better quality than similar Marvel TV titles like AGENTS OF SHIELD, and it's practically a masterpiece compared to INHUMANS. Then again, INHUMANS looked like bad cosplay with a $20 budget.

I'm surprised to find this on Freeform instead of regular ABC television, but whatever, the series looks like it has a bright future if the story quality stays at the same level.

This was surprisingly good. It was more dark and gritty than I thought i9t was going to be. It actually felt like I was watching Netflix Marvel.

I've over rated this mainly because there are way to many haters out there but it's easily an 8 for me. I've watch both of the episodes and this is a pretty good show. I don't not much about the comic characters but the show is really entertaining and at times deep. I would really recommend checking it out.

I've watched all 3 episodes that have aired so far. I understand that with a new series people who have not read the comic have to get to know the characters. After 3 episodes of nothing but soul searching and showing they are not perfect people with perfect lives, it's time to move on and pick up the pace.

Give me a break!

"The whole country trying to kill me every day"?

"Can I check your privilege?"

I assume that that's the dialogue we can expect in future episodes, so I'm bailing.

Too bad. I thought it started out a little rough, but worth giving it a chance, and I think A. Joseph is an excellent actor and expect to see a lot more of him, but the *writers, once again* have brought unnecessary social issues as the main plot drive of a superhero series, and the powers so minor that they're only incidental.

Too many series lately have been ruined in the same way. It seems that "Marvel" doesn't mean "excellence", anymore...

Cloak and Dagger is Marvel's best show since Daredevil. I watched it expecting something something on par with Runaways, but this show had me hooked from the amazingly executed opening. The first two episodes were interesting, exciting, hardly dragged, and had surprisingly good effects. If the showrunners were able to keep up this level of quality for the whole season, Marvel and Freeform could truly have something great on their hands.

First season was pretty good. Season 2 just getting a bit too weird for example, "B sides". Some of the episodes just getting a little bit too surreal and abstract.

This series is much better than I expected. I started watching it yesterday and am mid-way through season 2 right now. I was expecting cheesy kid stuff (like that nonsense you see on WB), but this is very engaging. Characters have depth. There are no weird love triangles. There's some minor dust-ups over people not telling people stuff right away ("betrayal" trope), but it's not over the top like the WB Arrowverse nonsense.

It's a different origin than the print version, but that's fine. It updates to work in the current Marvel paradigm - so someone hoping to watch print in motion will be disappointed, but that's not a fair expectation. Something made today shouldn't be a blow by blow of something made 40 years ago. The story is compelling. The storytelling (plays with time and perspective) is also compelling. It's worth a watch.

This show is nothing like anything else done by Marvel. It's really exactly what it was originally intended to be; a Netflix young adult adaptation based around the Marvel characters.

In saying that, it's a good thing. Really refreshing and different, Marvel particularly the movies, get very repetitive. They are after all superhero action films. And I say that as a fan of Marvel.

It's very much a darker, more grounded in reality/realistic take on the characters with original storylines.

In terms of other MCU projects, it's similar to the Moon Knight series in that regard.

Probably isn't going to be a hit with all 3 original comic C&D fans, but I can see it being enjoyed by Marvel fans more interested in these types of projects or wanting to step outside of the rotation of Avengers & Co type movies, all young adults/mature teens, or people that haven't really stepped into the MCU but may have enjoyed similar series with similar themes - The Society, Shadowhunters, Winx Saga, Sabrina. Also reminds me of more modern, more realistic CW shows - blending the YA shows they produced with their superhero series.

I've read quite a few of the lower reviews and a lot of them seem unhappy with the more original take and themes compared to the rest of the MCU. If you're a strict Marvel movie fan and didn't enjoy original, darker series like Agatha All Along, Moon Knight, any of Punishers/Blades adaptations, probably give this a miss. Outside of that, this doesn't deserve the criticism, it's very well done. Good show.

You will either been very intrigued and hooked off the bat or not. 100% worth watching that first episode to see how you feel.

I watched this show every week when it first aired to when the show got cancelled. I don't like how so many people don't like this show because the writers made the show realistic and modern. People assume this show was just some race related show but it was so much more than that. It touched on all the heavy yet uncomfortable topics we shy away from because we as a society would have to admit there is a problem towards POC. The main characters had a great dynamic and on screen chemistry and they show deserved more seasons for people to really see that. I would still recommend this show in 2023. It's more than just the hardships of Black people, everyone is involved and included too.

The acting could be better It gets a little too preachy sometimes, but stills remains entertaining. The visuals of the people's hopes and fears are pretty cool.

There may be potential here, but the plot is advancing sufferingly slow for the first three episodes. Unlike others, I think the soundtrack is the best part and as for the many reviews citing "political correctness," that's not actually a thing here. The slow is delightfully apolitical, but I've not ever read the comics.

Starting here I would like to say that Cloak & Dagger is Marvel's most serious property released till date! As the titles suggests, it's a real game-changer in the super hero movies/series era, by being a social/drama series which ALSO contains super hero material. It truly manages to capture correctly many different social aspects of everyday life that exist out there. Many people cope with 'em, but no other series will go that deep in exploring them and their outcomes on people's characters. Subjects like parenting, teenage life, crimes and drugs, are heavily covered by the shows first two episodes.

• The writing and plot manage to move smoothly from scene to scene, without making the viewer feel bored. Dialogues are also well-written
• Cinematography & Photography are equally good with Netflix's shows
• The CGI manages to keep it at the usual Marvel TV levels = totally good (focusing mainly on Cloak's cloak and Dagger's daggers)
• Beautiful sound design, coming along with a lovable soundtrack
• The acting is pretty good from main characters, especially Cloak & Dagger, just nominate these kids already!

* I would only hope for more action sequences in the end of the day, but by maintaining the show's style & character they way they are now is breathing a fresh air of uniqueness for this show.

In a nutshell, everything is tying together MARVELously in this show! If you're looking for a deeper show than all the other super hero series out there, then there's your go!

I love the two main characters and how they are connected. However it started off really slow and pretty much stayed that way the whole season. The season finale was one of the most exciting episodes this show had to offer. With that said, I really hope season two rides that wave instead of going back to the slow pace in which it started.
