Cloak & Dagger

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.

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...

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.

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 ????

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.
