While trying to be more of a science fiction thriller than a superhero show, it succumbs to clichéd dialogues occasionally which come as an obstacle to its efforts.

The underlying suspense and undiscovered aspects about powers is the driving force for a casual viewer. It relies heavily on the aesthetics and its tribute to that particular era with the music hits during that time. It definitely was not a show exclusive to the comic book readers. It stands on its own with exciting story telling which is slowed down at times due to its ineffective character bonding scenes.

It did not go the beaten to death method of younger version of a character undergoing training. Glimpses of past shown to bring out the unpleasant childhood they went through. But it wasn't sufficient to strike a chord.

The black comedy worked out really well and sometimes turned out be refreshing after a dull spell of useless emotional scenes.

Beyond a certain episode, the repeat of scenes to reiterate to the viewer about the emotion the present scene carries became annoying and utterly ineffective.

Acting wasn't special in any way (except Ellen Page in spite of eternal sad face throughout every movie/show she acts) even though there was scope to act.

Surprisingly, the music was really good even though it didn't stir any emotions. The different types of popular songs used throughout the show filled most of the background. Apart from that, the violin composition was captivating.

There wasn't much stunts involved like a usual superhero show. But whatever they did, it was well done and no apparent botches or blemishes.

The show was not a usual superhero story and it was interesting throughout with its sci-fi elements and secrets of characters. But there was a nothing notable or appreciable other than that. It was slow and dull with humor to take away the sluggish nature. To watch a show having people with abilities and intriguing mystery behind such abilities, this could be given a try. But prepare to doze off during the middle.
