Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

rain657 Yet another excellent, fun show cancelled before it even got going. Sick of the big networks doing this especially given some of the rubbish they keep running. This could have been a great series. Just as you start getting into a programme and they leave you with a cliff hanger they pull it for a 2nd season, it seems to be every show I enjoy! This show had every element as far as I was concerned, syfy mystery action thriller. Easy watchable binge worthy viewing.

Joe Smith Right from the start it became clear what kind of show this is.A basic 'The One Who Will Save Us All' hero takes the centre stage while all women are there for his sexual amusement and all men are there to make him look good. The scifi premise isn't anything new either; there are mutants who have special abilities and, of course, regular humans fear and hunt them. Sound familiar? Introducing a "The One" in 21st century entertainment just kills the story. The concept is done to death and many times better than this show pulls off.Add to this the highly unrealistic behaviour of all people involved and poor understanding of the definition of 'species' and I don't feel like watching any more episodes.That said... I like how they at least TRY to kill the enemy once in a while. Of course they have this plot-device against them and 'can't kill' and they are atmosphere destroyingly incompetent at doing so, but sometimes... they try. Which is a lot less hypocritical than X-men's 'X-men don't kill except if they are called wolverine' nonsense.You at least, at times, feel like there is a war with a hunted side. Well at least up to the point that they hold dance parties with the agents that have literally caused massacres among their own.Some actors manage to pull of very decent acting. I certainly like the acting and fighting of Aaron Yoo.But all together... I wouldn't bother with this show. It feels like a good cowboy trying to ride a dead horse. My praise for the effort but it was never going to work.

stermix501 I rarely write reviews, unless I have a good reason. Well here it is.Many people like to write when they don't like a show. When theybelieve they lost their time watching something they didn't like. I understand a bit, but I write a review because I'm outraged. Angry that a good quality series went to "limbo" (aficionados will know better), because some people thought they had seen it already or perhaps due to bad TV-scheduling. I showed to some persons and they also got hooked from the 1st episode! In art there is no parthenogeneseis (virgin-birth). Yes there is no power we haven't seen in comic book history and yes there are similarities with X-men and "heroes", but the way it is delivered is pleasant and all the actors are great. Both physically and performance-wise. Especially Robbie Amell and Peyton List, (Luke Mitchell only slightly behind them) seem to be destined to much more, and their rare but notable presence in "the flash" is one of the proofs. I am at the moment at the 18th episode and what I can tell you is that the more you see the harder it gets to resist seeing the next episode. Why? not just because of some last moment anchors (also, but not only), but because the u-turns, revelations and pace become so puzzling, exciting and well done, that I often have to stop in the middle of an episode to not being tempted to see one more! There are so many series out there, going on for decades based on rubbish, while a nice one like this is ended in 1 season, it's unfair. Star Trek original series, Saint Seyia lost canvas, Tomorrow people, all ended despite so much potential

glizze117 First of all, can someone clue these network executives/creators to what passes as a teenager in high school? The lead character Stephen looks WAY to old to pass for a high school student, so much so that I just couldn't take him seriously. He looks to old for college! He was 25 in real life when this series started...what were they thinking. He doesn't even look young for his age! Secondly, in shows such as this, its nice to watch supernatural things unfold. Smallville is a great example of this as we watch Clark come into his powers over time...hence 10 successful seasons. This show lays everything on the table in the pilot, explaining just about everything they can do and what they are all about instead of letting things unfold naturally. And last, I agree with many things I have read on here regarding the characters being one dimensional and the endless boring love triangles. None of them were interesting or likable. And again, they all seem to be too old to playing these "young people" they wanted us to believe. Actor playing Cara (most annoying character in the show) was 27 when the show started and the actor playing her boyfriend was almost 30! It's too bad because I think this could have been a good show in the right hands.
