Imperfeitos

The series lacks a strong storyline and some bases through the episodes .

There's some situations and / or events that deserve and should be addressed but they decided to make it in a fast path and , sometimes, it creates too many story holes .

Too many situations happening and not a big interest in carry one from beginning to end .

Regarding the acting: The actors are mainly good , but some struggle to act ... you have some delivering really good characters and others that are school-level actors .

This is just one more series that is simply created to exist and not impress . Netflix is trying to sell quantity and not quality .

See it for fun, don't expect to be overwhelmed .

But enjoy the ride , it has its moments.

Unlike the 1-star reviews, I've actually watched the damn show instead of giving up after the first 5 minutes. No, this isn't another Resident Evil - it's not nearly as bad. In fact, I personally find it to be pretty fun, and a large improvement over most other modern Netflix Cash-grabs.

The actors are all great, dialogue is fairly snappy (some rare lines are awkwardly written, but the delivery is still good). While the CGI isn't great, it's still decent for a modern 6-hour long Netflix series with a limited budget.

I'm kind of a sucker for the technical side of shows and movies, and thankfully I've found myself to be very satisfied with the cinematography - the camerawork, lighting, and mood is all great and elevates the experience of watching greatly. Also, the editing is good too.

Comedy is subjective, and personally I found the comedy in this show to be pretty good - it's pretty dry and witty, so it won't be for everyone. The scenes in episode 3 regarding Juan's girlfriend's fetish got a good laugh out of me though, and there's been many other funny moments too.

Overall, it's a fun, interesting, well-made series, and deserves far higher ratings - i mean really, guys, 1 star? You found nothing good about this show? There's plenty to love about it, and I wish Netflix doesn't brush it under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist (they've already done it a disservice by barely marketing it).

Netflix decided to call this show Umbrella Academy meets the Boys. Luckily I, as a fan of both those shows, didn't learn about that description until I had binged the whole series. It has hardly any resemblance to those shows. And if I had gone into it expecting the same experience, I would have been disappointed. However, that doesn't mean it's a bad show. Lovable characters and an interesting plot make it very enjoyable if you go in with the right expectations. Hope to see a season 2. I saw a bad review ranting about 21 year old scientists being unrealistic. What 21 year olds they could possibly be talking about, I have no idea. Also if a person in their early twenties working in a lab is weird to you then please don't go to any universities. You will freak the F out. In summary: Wrong expectations set. Very good show. Dumb reviewers.

We did not went into this with high expectations. We wanted some easy, mindless fun and monster action. And for the first half of the season, it totally delivered. Unfortunately the second half drags. The over all storyline seems lost and the characters either revolve round themselves or change their direction every 5 Minutes.

Is it a must-watch? Maybe not. But there definitely is some good potential.

The characters are quite likeable, the action is nice, some lighthearted humor. The CGI is not stellar, but good enough. I would watch a second season. But please work on the writing/storytelling!

The whole series felt like a mashup between Misfits and The Boys, with less fun and more science : some young adults are involved into a genetic experience giving them various powers (thus various responsibility).

There is the crazy/alcoholic/extrovert/punk one, the lone/introvert one, and the brilliant/smart one. They unite with a scientist to find answers and to confront a seemingly crazy selfish scientist.

At first glance (the 3 first episodes) the rythm is slow, the story takes some time to unfold, and the characters are not very endearing and seem to be the usual cliché, mainly due to the acting and the writing.

Nevertheless the acting and writing evolve and the characters are much more complex than was it seemed to be. The "evil people" are not fully evil, and we get attached to the tempers and spirits of all the characters (with a special mention for Tilda and her sharp and dark humor).

Overall the series is entertaining, with some awkward moments, but showing a good effort in the combination of action, humor and rigorous science (seemingly).

Last but not least, as a Netflix series, expect the usual wokeness, so if you're not into it or at least indifferent about it you should watch another show.
