Pretty simple and classic, but entertaining and efficient. The concept is nothing revolutionary, but still a nice touch to it.
X-Men vibes on the society, obviously, but here the parallel is made between powered people and immigrant workers, rather crudely I would say. They do the job, probably better with their powers, but can only work illegally, are harassed by the cops, and society wants to ban them. The way it's shown, it's like they can only work illegally in construction or become criminals, maybe that's a bit too much.
If apparently some (with money I guess) can work legally, why aren't there mind readers in the police, healers in hospitals, firemen that can control fire, muscle ones in the army, etc, etc. I mean, rich people can have powered kids too, and I'm guessing they're not treated this way. Could have been interesting to see this aspect, though it probably didn't fit in the narrative. Also if there is no work left for powered people because of automation, what about regular people ?
Main story is rather standard, small heists, a bit of action, betrayal between criminals, nothing fancy. I somehow had the whole Nia storyline the second she appears and coughs, so not much originality here either.
The power effects, the drones and robots look good enough, action scenes are well done. Nothing crazy but nothing to complain about.
