If there really were superheroes, this series would depict them perfectly. Marketing would definitely be the norm. The cinematography is outstanding and unlike mainstream tv, the soundtrack actually fits the scenes and doesn't drown out the actors dialogue. Speaking of the actors, there were some outstanding performances by Moriarty, Urban, Shue and Alonso. I wasn't all that impressed with Allen or Usher, but the rest were good to great. The directing was spot on. Don't be frightened off by the maturity ratings. I didn't find anything all that offensive. I've had worse things said to me by thirteen year olds, and the nudity seemed to consist of men's butts and women's bare backs. Give it a go.
