Manto e Adaga

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 ????

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.

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.

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.
