The Gifted: The Complete First Season
Review by Suzanne Lanoue
9/15/18 |
I really love this show and never miss it. I grew up reading
the X-Men comics, and I love all of the different
incarnations of it in TV and movies. They did a smart
job casting "True Blood"'s Stephen Moyer as the dad and
scifi/fantasy vet Amy Acker as the mom. I wish all of the
mutants had costumes, but I understand why they wouldn't,
since they're hiding from the Sentinels. It reminds me a
little of the Syfy show "Alphas," but this one is better.
The special effects and action sequences are really
outstanding. I love it when superhero shows actually show
some cool special effects and don't skimp on it because of
costs. I think the actors do a pretty good job. Coby Bell is
excellent as the agent that you feel sorry for, as much as
you root against him. I'm looking forward to season 2!
There aren't any features or extras on the DVD set,
which is too bad. Still, it's worth buying the set if you
love scifi/fantasy/comic book shows. It would make a great
gift for fans of any age.MORE INFORMATION:
