Current Events > Anyone else been watching The Gifted, that X-Men show? *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Doesn't seem to be much interest in it despite it being pretty good.

Yeah. I've been hooked. It's some of the best TV I've seen since season 4 of Arrow.
---

Yup. Enjoying it

Is it like Heroes where it's a show about superpowers yet rarely actually shows them?

No, they show them a lot.

I like it. I felt like a dumbass in the last episode though for not realizing who that new blond girl was until the end of the episode. It should've been obvious after that part in the beginning where the girl working with the politician heard a bunch of voices in her head talking to her unison
---

Yeah, she was a nice surprise. Though I did read a review which explained a little bit about who she was based on.

Only watched a couple of episodes but it's fucking fantastic. The very first episode had me going holy fuck from how good it is, so much happens in that one pilot episode.

I'm waiting for more episodes to come out so that I can binge them all in a few days time but yeah, I have no idea why there isn't a constant 500 topic about it because the show is really good.

Then again most great shows don't seem to have a lot of topics, at least here. Agents of Shield doesn't, and no one is talking about Runaways which also seems to be intriguing.

Runaways is shit. It ruined everything that made the comic cool

I kind of wish Esme would have given a fake name when she joined the Underground, because there is no way they were adding a blond telepath named Esme and not having her be a Cuckoo.

I loved the break out sequence though. Telepaths are terrifying when they want to start hurting people.

Runways bothers me because it has all the right pieces to be really good. It's well-casted, well-acted, and has solid production values, but it is meandering so badly. I'm glad there is a bit more focus on the Pride as characters and the character drama both within the Pride and between the Pride and their children is well done in it's own right, but we are getting it at the cost of plot progression and it's hurting.

It makes no sense to me that we're 7 episodes in and they still haven't run away.
