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.

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...

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.
