The Imperfects

I went into this having kinda low expectation, and I was pretty surprised to be honest. I find that the general flaws of teenager shows weren't there or were very mild compared to others.

The concept is pretty cool but nothing revolutionary. Kids experimented on when they were young, but they now end up with powers, or imperfections.

The actors are actually pretty good, Morgan Taylor in particular showed a really interesting character and she managed to bring a humorous, senseless, but also emotional character to live beautifully.

The show has a nice balance between humor, suspense, emotions and action, which is always nice to see, often shows go to far in some directions and they get dull really quickly.

One other thing that surprised me is the visual effects. They are very well done even tho Netflix as a history a cutting budget for this type of show, and special effects often suffer. That comes at a cost of 'tranformation' scene being often avoided, but I gotta admit, with good camera work and ideas.

Would personally recommend, I definitively found it better than what other reviewer said, but I definitively see how someone could dislike/get bored watching this series.

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.

This show was so funny and witty compared to other misfit/superhero shows and it was also pretty smart writing as well. None of the filler overly dramatic conflict you see in other shows, just actual conflict coming from the actual premise and plot of the story. The acting was good and the characters were smart, it was slightly campy but that just means it didn't take itself too seriously and makes it perfect for a cult classic. There really should be a second season, these character were very lovable.

Not sure why this show was cancelled, perhaps it was the ratings or just a victim of Netflix's downsizing efforts, in which case I could think of a few dozen other shows that really should be gone.

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.
