The Imperfects

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.

After reading some reviews here, I started my watch expecting the series to be not that good and not taking it seriously. With this attitude, and skipping some parts if the first episode, the first six episodes were actually fun to me. I give them a rating of a solid 8/10.

What makes those episodes good? Mostly because the story seems light hearted and genuine.

Some more details what I like about those episodes:

• Because it doesn't seem to take itself too seriously it can be funny on occassion.

• The acting can be fun to watch, maybe because the actors seem to be enjoying their role or maybe because the acting is a good.

• There are some likeble characters

Episodes 7-10 are not worth watching, because the story and characters stop making sense. Maybe I would give them a rating of 5/10.

I would say you can stop watching at the end of episode 6 and feel okay doing so.

To give you an impression of my taste, these are some series I have rated highly in the past: 'The Sandman', 'Violet Evergarden', 'Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song ', 'Great Pretender', 'Messiah', 'The OA', 'Sense8', 'Beastars', 'Dark', and the movies 'Interstellar' and 'Arrival'.

It's campy with some angst. A bit more drama with relatable human reactions since they never wanted to be monsters but it's not heavy psychological terror nor "edgy emo"... They don't really dwell on that. Kept things fairly light hearted. It has kind of a dry-wit humor if you're into that. Colorful and not gray/drab which is always a plus! The overall vibe is very...modern grunge?

Not a masterpiece nor the best...some questionable acting in some parts, wonky cgi, some inconsistencies...not really the biggest budget... but I liked it and found the main characters and their dynamic with each other fun and the story progression interesting. I love their banters with one another. I think they all have good chemistry even with the side characters.

My favorite is Dr Sarkov, he is not what you'd think he is, based on what he was presented in the trailer. He is better. Tilda is my 2nd favorite. Love her emotional range throughout the show. I didn't find any other characters hateful but I can understand those who might not like some of the characters like typical the "Ms goody two shoes" personality.

Story lore wise there's not a lot of depth or like a dozen potentials to explore since it's fairly straight forward... just people who became monstrous without their consent and now they want to undo it. It's not like other monster shows that have world building done on the monsters themselves. The monsters here are mere side effects. The plot twist isn't something that surprising but it did make me want to have a season 2.

I'd recommend this for those looking for chill night of a non heavy hearted sci-fi fantasy with action and drama and some comedy sprinkled in. It's not revolutionary or anything but the character driven focus and their relationship dynamic I think makes up for it. If you're into shows like Teen Wolf or Mutants or Misfits...you might like it?

Warning: Fair amount of blood in this 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.

Netflix decided to call this show Umbrella Academy meets the Boys. Luckily I, as a fan of both those shows, didn't learn about that description until I had binged the whole series. It has hardly any resemblance to those shows. And if I had gone into it expecting the same experience, I would have been disappointed. However, that doesn't mean it's a bad show. Lovable characters and an interesting plot make it very enjoyable if you go in with the right expectations. Hope to see a season 2. I saw a bad review ranting about 21 year old scientists being unrealistic. What 21 year olds they could possibly be talking about, I have no idea. Also if a person in their early twenties working in a lab is weird to you then please don't go to any universities. You will freak the F out. In summary: Wrong expectations set. Very good show. Dumb reviewers.
