Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com [It's a] dull [slog] overall. Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Danette Chavez AV Club The Gifted's hour-long premiere isn't just some truncated movie spin-off. Rated: B Oct 4, 2017 Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire While there are undeniable parallels to discrimination and immigration, The Gifted is still a rather predictable, thrill-less hour of television that hasn't found a consistent source of drama, fun, or basic entertainment. Rated: C- Oct 3, 2017 Full Review Noetta Harjo Geek Girl Authority The writers do a good job of mentioning the time line in connection with the X-Men. And it is obvious from the beginning this will be a story about survival. The heroes are clearly defined and the story gives you enough reason to root for the mutants. Apr 22, 2020 Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof Very good, the pilot sells well the series and leaves you eager to see where everything is going. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 8, 2019 Full Review Kaitlyn Booth Bleeding Cool The Gifted has a fairly strong start, wasting no time introducing relatable characters and building a new world. Rated: 8/10 May 17, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
