What you might think is just another superhero show turns out to be so much more than that: flawed yet fully fleshed out characters, stunning unfolding of criminal conspiracy, eerily prophetic political commentary, psychological case study, taut thriller, and theodicy.

Genre stories are at their best when they are a mask for much deeper and broader reflections on the human condition and society at large - and this story delivers, demonstrating that we cannot face our own devils without community and a willingness to die to ourselves.

If you only see one superhero series, this is the one to watch (specifically season 3; you can just find a summary of season 1 and even skip season 2 to pick up the story. Whoever this Tonya Kong person is deserves recognition as an incredible writer).
