I'll watch almost anything with superpowers so I tried this. This show was easily predictable, not original, and politically preachy. Basically par for the course for Hollywood over the last several years and yet another reminder to stick to Japanese anime for my animated sci-fi/fantasy cravings. The writers completely forget that a major aspect of the superpowers genre is escapism. Meanwhile, this show was like watching the fever dream of a woke writer who thought "how could I turn this beloved genre into yet another soulless propaganda piece" as they repeatedly remind me of current day social-political nonsense that has plagued the western world. The plot is very unoriginal where the big twist is that instead of ripping off the Superman origin story, they're actually ripping off the Dragonball Z origin story...and not well. I guess I'm supposed to overlook the massive plot holes since they met their racial and LGBT quota? The excessive and unnecessary use of gore does not help either. It screams desperation, just like their over budget ensemble Hollywood cast. They hope you'd be shocked at the gore and impressed by the casting so you'd mistake this for a mature and well-written show.

@sb23242 Def got super woke in the second season, it's totally ruined now. Unless you want to fast-forward the propaganda.
Just like people have the freedom to call themselves cats now ... we got the freedom to reject any indoctrination and stop watching shows that portrayed this kind of behavior. Freedom goes both ways.
First thought: yeah, Keaton and Winona. Awesome.
Second thought: Ortega. Meh. Not getting the hype around her.loading replies
