Featured reviews
I'm usually hesitant to watch new TV shows these days as they mostly disappoint me. I am very critical on quality of acting and the plot or the story itself. I'm hooked alright!. Although it is more like the X-men series, it's surprisingly captivating. It emphasized the importance of family and value of human lives. The acting is excellent; the plot is unpredictable. The CGI can be improved, but it's far better than standard TV shows. It's an action show but not too violent. It's a great show to watch for the entire family.
At the start the plot is slow but it gets awesome later in the series. It presents some cool mutant abilities which I haven't seen in any other show.The drama is on point!
I really enjoy this series, good plots, good acting/actors, lots of potential...and each episode has improved as writers and directors are finding their groove.
But, please - kids, (Strucker brother and sister) - please emancipate yourselves from your constantly whining, hovering, wimpy, classic helicopter parents that are in denial about your powers and holding you back from maturing! They (parents) are the only part of the show that I cringe at, every time they are in front of the camera.

I'm hooked after seeing the first episode, it's a great installment in The X-Men Universe. I was wondering will sink like the first episode of Inhumans. But it didn't sink it sailed in my book, the effects are incredible, and the CGI is not over used.
I love characters played Amy Acker and Stephen Moyer, who play parents trying to protect there two teenage kids who have mutant powers, and are hunted. The series has other characters, but the family is the driving force of the show. It deals with people being badly judged just for being different, so much of that goes around in real life too. I hope the show will go on for a while, I wonder if any the actors from the X-Men movies will make an appearance here, I hope.

This is very reminiscent of Heroes and the first episode hasn't shown something we haven't seen before.
There are some token characters and basically if you've seen any of the trailers out there you've seen the first episode. The little sentinels look a little bit too much like the robots from the Matrix.
Acting is good, CGI is bearable but could do better.
Not sure where the plot is going.. is it just mutants vs the Sentinel program? Anyhow it's not a bad start but it's not great either. At this stage it's decent but it could go either way.
