If you are not a comic book reader and have no idea about the characters of the series, then this show will be quite boring.
The first episode gives you an impression that the whole series is going to be an interesting one. But as the series proceeds, the level of interest goes on decreasing exponentially.
After watching the first episode, if you skip other succeeding episodes and go directly to the last one, you will realize that you have not missed anything at all. The same things kept on repeating in these episodes without any requirement to the story.
You can understand from the first episode that these characters are miss-fit to the usual society norms and they are struggling in their own way to deal with it. Now, what as an audience i wanted to see how they are keeping their baggage in the back burner and proceeding with their life and kicking villain's rear. But, the show mostly concentrated on the sob stories of the past. I can understand directors had to show the characters past for context building, but the whole series dedicated to it is quite irritaiting.
Ratings are quite high for this series, belief me if you watch closely then you realize that this show is not worthy of high ratings.
