This rating is based on being 2 1/2 episodes in, but I can say for a fact that it's refreshingly different from the 'vanilla' superhero genre that we've come to expect from the big franchises such as Marvel and DC.

It manages to mix both lighthearted and quirky humor in with a sense of grimness and despair seamlessly, like the story behind Swan Lake (a befitting metaphor given the protagonist's passion). It touches on real life issues such as being gay, addicted to drugs and internal struggle that the everyday person can relate without it being shoved down our throats.

The show is very appealing so far (and VERY strange). It doesn't rely heavily on violence or superpowers, yet doing the one thing every great TV drama must do: establishing character depth and the interpersonal relationships between the main characters.

NOT your typical superhero show and I'm pleasantly surprised as I went in with low expectations.
