Lets start with the premise that this is an Eric Kripke joint. He is one of the last show runners who wants to put forward and entertaining thing without concern for brainwashing people. Kripke usually has a high concept idea and about 20 good shows, only for things to start falling apart. Shows like Timeless and Revolution are prior works. So he provides the same showing here.

High concept is the game here. What if super heroes existed really? Well of course, like modern day super heroes (doctors, judges, rock stars) they would be corrupt and both controlled by and protected by a corporation. The first 5 or 6 episodes of this show really knock it out of the park. Following a normal human hurt by them and a super hero who is joining the elite group of heroes only to find out that all her heroes are corrupt.

The ending, however, seems to have been needlessly put off so that we could have a second season. The final two episodes are not as tight as the first ones and the natural climax seems almost put off. But still the overall series is quite strong.

Definitely something to watch.
