O Legado de Júpiter

Yes, Jupiter's legacy is not perfect, it has a few flaws, but overall is a pretty decent series and really entertaining, the narrative with flashbacks was really well done, it keeps you interested in knowing "what happened?" between the past and the current time.

It has it flaws, of course, a little too much exposition sometimes, and of course as any superhero movie/series it makes no sense at times, but I really enjoyed it and I see crappy superhero projects getting a lot of seasons while this one didn't.

I don't know what happened, but I want my season 2.

I like the whole idea behind this story and, although it wasn't perfect and needed some explanations, it was a pretty good show. It sucks that we get left with an ending like that because it felt like we were finally gonna get somewhere, almost all the cards were on the table. I hope it gets shopped to another network or something but I doubt it. This could've been such a great series had it not been cancelled.

The overall aesthetic is a bit baffling, both high budget but with Battelstar, it still looks low budget sometimes? It's very weird. And then the entire arc of the season is overwritten at parts.

What I found compelling was the contrast and disillusionment between modern day and market crash 20s of America. Paired with the generational gap between supers parents and children, it actually is pretty interesting when it focuses on that stuff.

The problem for me is that as soon as it sets the themes up, it then plateaus for a while, going into a backstory that again, feels overwritten. It begins as interesting and then after a while you want things to clip along and they really don't. Pacing annunciates plot beat problems.

Overall, I find it more interesting than The Boys, as far as alternate supers stories go. Not as good as Watchmen. But not bad either. 7 feels pretty right for it. Seems like they haven't got that good a grasp on it but it's compelling when things go right. Whether they stumbled on the 'right', I guess we'll see - if there's another season.

This show has some of the worst exposition I've ever heard, which is really lazy and disappointing writing. And some of the acting and costumes aren't the best. The story, on the other hand, is really good. I'm a sucker for comic book adaptations anyway, so that might be my biased opinion.

Give it a chance. I did and I enjoyed it.

I think this show is great and has a lot of potential. I'm so bummed to hear Netflix isn't bringing it back.

Hopefully it'll reboot in the future!
