The Imperfects

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.

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.

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.

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.

We did not went into this with high expectations. We wanted some easy, mindless fun and monster action. And for the first half of the season, it totally delivered. Unfortunately the second half drags. The over all storyline seems lost and the characters either revolve round themselves or change their direction every 5 Minutes.

Is it a must-watch? Maybe not. But there definitely is some good potential.

The characters are quite likeable, the action is nice, some lighthearted humor. The CGI is not stellar, but good enough. I would watch a second season. But please work on the writing/storytelling!
