TL;DR: Watch it, if you like a good story that never disappoints and also has super-powered people.

The 9 of 10 stars judge this as a series. If it were to compete with movies, it'd be a 7 or 8.

Series always have some drawn-out-ness, where the butter on the bread grows thin. TUA has *very* little of that. The only existing season so far (S1, with 10 episodes) goes by rather quickly, even though it's a whopping 9 hours. New perspectives, new situations, but all part of a coherent whole with an ending that does not disappoint (and invites to jump right into S2, if there ever is one, and I damn hope so).

Acing, effects, makeup, all spot on. Ellen Page, Robert Sheehan (Misfits), ...? The producers *wanted* this show to be good, and they succeeded. There's some botched microphone work on Ellen Page that sadly happens throughout the whole season, but it's just a bit impure, not a deal-breaker.

The story unfolds naturally, expands from personal and family matters to world-altering affairs and metaphysics. Even though there's no dullness, it's not stuffed with gimmicks or sugar. Good old substance. Invest the time, you'll be glad you got to know this show.
