This show fooled me in thinking it might be a sci-fi mystery drama using the Jumper idea, but it ended up being a confusing mess. The "sci-fi teen has superpowers" elements made no sense whatsoever. It just felt like the developers couldn't decide on weather to make it a superhero story or rather a teenage drama with high school issues. The main character was so bad written that you end up hating or at least disliking her completely. I just watched it to see if things got better cause it made me feel bad for wasting the time, but it just got worse by the end of it.

I was hooked after the first three episodes and Literally binged watched the entire 10 episodes in one day.... I like the narrative.... it focuses on yes this teenager is discovering a superpower but it also makes her a normal teenage girl.... the main character however is not very likeable... she is moody and just down right mean... and I think they need to make her more likeable... you feel bad for her circumstances but you are not rooting for her... I think they tried to make it not another superhero movie... and they played it well because the season left so many unanswered questions that if you become truly invested in the series you will be on the look out for season 2.... around episode 6 or 7 I started to lose a little interest where I would be on my phone while it was playing on the background on my laptop... but it picked up by episode 9 and 10... I would say give it a shot... if after the first 3 episodes your not interested don't think you will gain interest as the series progresses... the first 3 episodes truly are defining.

When i read a quick synopsis about a 16 yr old girl who discovers she can teleport, i almost passed completely,i was expecting complete teen cheese but it isn't. It's a pretty decent adult thriller that i'm enjoying and as long as it doesn't deteriorate seen far worse shows,i'm 3 episodes in.Maybe i'm enjoying it because i wasn't expecting much but i don't understand some of the low ratings and tell anyone to give it a chance.

This is a great show about a benevolent organization trying to harness a power that could help save the world by studying an evil teenager that seems determined to destroy everyone that loves her because... well... her life sucks more than theirs. At least that seems to be what the show-runners are going for.

One needs to keep an open mind to appreciate the various plots involved. If you're expecting a super hero series you will be disappointed and although a viewer will have many unanswered questions the concept remains interesting
