Couldn’t get past the first 2 episodes

I honestly got bored by episode 3. I do like the fight scenes though, but everything else is just zzzzz...

Weird costumes. Better than the CW costumes but not as good as somethings like Titans or the Marvel shows. They're just.....okay....ish.

I watched this whole thing in one sitting and as much as I like superheroes this show was pretty bad. I like anything out of the cookie cutter ideas but this wasn’t it. The fight scene at the beginning was the best part but even that was just entertaining.

I never read the comic before watching, so I didn't have anything to compare it to. It had issues to be certain, the old people make up and wigs are God awful and the worst part of the show. Some of the costume designs are too much too.

But over all this show did more right than wrong for me. There were some conversations about the fundamentals of being a hero that I absolutely love in the comics and they did a great job addressing here. I love the whole idea of Utopian struggling with his code and the world becoming too violent for it, and his therapy session with the super villain was brilliant. Chefs kiss kinda good. I love that kinda content.

The show definitely had passing issues and I found myself profoundly more interested in the events in the past then the present day story. After watching season one I went back and read Legacy and Circle, and the comics are a totally different beast. Some changes I enjoyed, some I hated. I both love and hate Brandon's change. We don't need 2 Chloe's, so making Brandon follow in his father's footsteps obsessively at first was an interesting new approach I enjoy then making him another Gothic party night life kid like Chloe.

After reading the comics, the present day story line should not be as boring as it is, and I think it's boring because they are stretching out the narrative. Aside from the Blackstar fight not much from the present day story is even in this show. Bits here and there but we are basically still in volume 1 by the end of the season. But that leaves plenty of juicy present day content for next season.

I don't want to give any spoilers, but if we don't get those big deaths at some point next season imma be pissed. And the time jump should happen between season 2 and 3.

This show isn’t perfect and has its small flaws but I did enjoy it way more than Umbrella Academy. Hope season 2 shows more of them as hero’s in the 20s, loved the flashback stuff

the only thing worse than the acting in this show are the wigs, i couldnt even make it through the first episode.

Based on what I read here in the comments, I don't think the show is for me. Costume design looks cool though. Might give it a go sometime over the summer

Have no experience with the comics but watching it I really enjoyed all the stuff in the past. The modern day stuff I couldn’t care less about
