I don't know how come many people love this show as it's just messy in many ways and calling it a Masterpiece and some even Comparing it to likes of "Daredevil"😓😭 makes me sick....
First of all the premise seems interesting but the Charecters are Dumb, I mean too dumb for a people who spent life of Superheroes from Childhood....
Their actions doesn't make sense in many circumstances & Out of place, they lack Motivation for their actions, I'm not looking for some great Charecterisation but atleast it should be good enough for Viewer's to take something out of it....
The main leads are unlikeable & frustrating at times, atleast they won't even justify their actions to themselves, wasted Charecters like Detective Patch who should've been brought another angle to the show, I mean the side Charecters like Hazel & Cha-cha are better than leads, exceptions though are Klaus, who done a very good job in bringing Charecter to life & Number 5 is excellent as a 58 years old boy, but he should be wise & proactive in his childhood form but at times he seems like a normal kid, Ellen Page is good enough though......
Coming to the plot it's messy & incoherent, it's like there is no clear focus on plot & all over the place,
After watching 5 episodes I was like "why did I even start this" it's just plain boring & dumb for my liking, at last it got little better though & portrays wider perspective of its potential by hinting 'Reginald Hargreaves' backstory but still it's just a wasted potential with all that Incoherence....
It's extremely predictable & We can see many turns in show coming from a mile, Everytime they say "The World is Ending & we need to save it" makes me #smh particularly when No.1 says, maybe writer's forgot to give Luther brain & instead filled him with Muscle and its comical & silly.....
One example is when their brother is missing from 17 years and suddenly appeared on his father's funeral day through a Portal outside Hargreaves mansion by time traveling(LOOLL) as the same kid, they will quite lightly ask him some questions & call it a day & go on with their lives....really?? How should they react in this situation?? & Another Charecter Harold Jenkins seems more like Plot device than a influence to Vanya(Ellen Page).....
There are many silly things that are out of place.....
Just watch it if you're a fan of Comics or who has so much time like me to waste on these shows, this should've been much better if they put more thought into Charecters & plot......
