I saw this series when it aired on The CW as a single two-hour movie, so i don't know what others might have seen online. I knew absolutely nothing about it. It got violent quickly but once the action shifted to the two friends, it was actually more of a comedy and I saw something worth staying with.
As a movie this goes back and forth between serious action and silliness, and it is fairly typical of a superhero film.
Emily Piggford is actually quite likable and apparently good at martial arts, Or that may have been her very capable stunt person.
Kai Bradbury and Akiel Julien are also easy to like and make us laugh.
Miho Suzuki, on the other hand, is quite serious and she can intimidate without saying a word, as was the case in the first scene. She comes across as very strong and capable, and yet the others manage to find her vulnerable side as well.
The fighting is quite well done, and the movie is a little more violent than what I care for, but it gets the job done.
It's not spectacular compared to what usually airs on The CW, but it seems worthwhile.
