Comment élever un super-héros

A story about a young boy with unusual abilities & the struggles the mother has. Seems like an interesting plot and it is. But!!! The kid is a spoilt brat whi is basically undisciplined and uncontrollable. The mother is an emotional timebomb continually having meltdowns everytime she cant get her own way. Her best friend is a childlike moron woth OCD. And the young boys isdues seem to be a sideline to the mothers problems. Great plot, but more like a soapie! If you dont like annoying characters, then tune out.

I accidently stumbled onto this show last week and binged the two seasons. The first one was a pleasant surprise. A simple, but fun show to watch with likable characters and an decent plot with a few fun twists.

The second season however was a huge disappointment. Apart from all the gigantic plot holes, the story went downhill fast and the last three episodes turned into a weird copy of an eighties A-Team zombie flick, or something. With a new problem every twenty minutes being resolved in the twenty minutes following. The "end fight" was completely ridiculous, a five year old wouldn't buy that.

With all that and the fact that the plot just repeats itself, characters that develop a new power every ten minutes, (how convenient) and the diversity obsession of the writers, or the casting agency, I more or less have given up on this show.

Season three, if it happens, will have to do al lot better than this.

Okay. It's not really suitable for small kids without parental attendance. Some scenes might cause nightmares. But altogether it's for the whole family. Sometimes funny, some scenes a little bit scary. It's exciting and entertaining. I hope more of Dion will follow. The cast is doing a real good job and watching beautiful Alisha Wainwright (Maia from "Shadow Hunters") is always a pleasure.

Hoping there are no bad mistakes in my review. I'm German and 68 yrs. old.

The storyline is great. Setting is great. Relatable characters. So hard to find kid friendly shows without eyerolls at the cheezy content. Great series to watch with Family.

This show is kind of complicated. Of course, Dion can come off as annoying, or difficult to deal with, and while his acting isn't the greatest, the way they write his character makes sense. I never get the feeling that he's bratty, and though maybe spoiled, he's still just a kid. This is how kids act like. They do things you don't want to do, because they just don't understand, and perhaps he's unbearable for others, I think he develops well, because he eventually starts listening, and starts paying attention, and it's strange because it was genuinely so subtle and natural to me, especially as he starts to understand his powers more.

Moving on, the mother, Nicole, is extremely emotional, and might get on people's nerves, especially with how she deals with situations. But the fact of the matter is, is that she clearly cares. She's scared of her son, and rightfully so, because as amazing as Dion's powers are, he's still just a child, and yet he has so much responsibility at his age. She's fearful of him, but no matter what, she still loves him, and though she's a helicopter parent, it's not without reason. She's emotional, but she does have some good moments with her more emotional moments. She does have a lot of flashbacks, especially in the first episode, and while I'm desensitized to it, others may find the excessive use of flashbacks annoying, and I do agree they weren't needed since there wasn't anything else of substance to their relationship other than it was a healthy one. There's nothing to be noted or taken away from them excelt for one of them in the later episodes.

The plot itself is easy to follow, and though they briefly touch on racial issues, it's only for one episode and is briefly mentioned in another episode. It's nothing preachy, just there. I think that this too might get on people's nerves, but I promise, it's not unbearable.

That being said, I really enjoyed this show, flaws and all. This is really one of those shows where you should watch it before you judge it too harshly though, but it's up to you considering each episode is about 40-50 minutes.
