The Imperfects

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.

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'.

The whole series felt like a mashup between Misfits and The Boys, with less fun and more science : some young adults are involved into a genetic experience giving them various powers (thus various responsibility).

There is the crazy/alcoholic/extrovert/punk one, the lone/introvert one, and the brilliant/smart one. They unite with a scientist to find answers and to confront a seemingly crazy selfish scientist.

At first glance (the 3 first episodes) the rythm is slow, the story takes some time to unfold, and the characters are not very endearing and seem to be the usual cliché, mainly due to the acting and the writing.

Nevertheless the acting and writing evolve and the characters are much more complex than was it seemed to be. The "evil people" are not fully evil, and we get attached to the tempers and spirits of all the characters (with a special mention for Tilda and her sharp and dark humor).

Overall the series is entertaining, with some awkward moments, but showing a good effort in the combination of action, humor and rigorous science (seemingly).

Last but not least, as a Netflix series, expect the usual wokeness, so if you're not into it or at least indifferent about it you should watch another show.

I went into this having kinda low expectation, and I was pretty surprised to be honest. I find that the general flaws of teenager shows weren't there or were very mild compared to others.

The concept is pretty cool but nothing revolutionary. Kids experimented on when they were young, but they now end up with powers, or imperfections.

The actors are actually pretty good, Morgan Taylor in particular showed a really interesting character and she managed to bring a humorous, senseless, but also emotional character to live beautifully.

The show has a nice balance between humor, suspense, emotions and action, which is always nice to see, often shows go to far in some directions and they get dull really quickly.

One other thing that surprised me is the visual effects. They are very well done even tho Netflix as a history a cutting budget for this type of show, and special effects often suffer. That comes at a cost of 'tranformation' scene being often avoided, but I gotta admit, with good camera work and ideas.

Would personally recommend, I definitively found it better than what other reviewer said, but I definitively see how someone could dislike/get bored watching this series.

Unlike the 1-star reviews, I've actually watched the damn show instead of giving up after the first 5 minutes. No, this isn't another Resident Evil - it's not nearly as bad. In fact, I personally find it to be pretty fun, and a large improvement over most other modern Netflix Cash-grabs.

The actors are all great, dialogue is fairly snappy (some rare lines are awkwardly written, but the delivery is still good). While the CGI isn't great, it's still decent for a modern 6-hour long Netflix series with a limited budget.

I'm kind of a sucker for the technical side of shows and movies, and thankfully I've found myself to be very satisfied with the cinematography - the camerawork, lighting, and mood is all great and elevates the experience of watching greatly. Also, the editing is good too.

Comedy is subjective, and personally I found the comedy in this show to be pretty good - it's pretty dry and witty, so it won't be for everyone. The scenes in episode 3 regarding Juan's girlfriend's fetish got a good laugh out of me though, and there's been many other funny moments too.

Overall, it's a fun, interesting, well-made series, and deserves far higher ratings - i mean really, guys, 1 star? You found nothing good about this show? There's plenty to love about it, and I wish Netflix doesn't brush it under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist (they've already done it a disservice by barely marketing it).
