There's nothing like taking a comic-book hero and turning it into a gritty, realistic and dark TV show...and, unfortunately this is nothing like that either.

The show is distinctly average to anyone unfamiliar with the hero and benefits from some quite staggering character behaviour and stupidity. Villains who no-one is afraid of and a lack of any real menace on their part fail to garner much support for a set of "good guys" who no-one cares about.

Not being a particular fan of this type of show in the first place I wasn't moved to change my stance that this is brain-dead TV. Just my opinion of course and clearly (judging by the "rave" reviews its receiving) not one shared by many reviewers.
