Now this show looks great, let's hope they don't drop the ball, and you got to love the diversity of X-Characters they used here...

I'm dodging this ABC Family fluff like the plague. Sick and tired of X-Men projects not being related to the movies.

Well it's actually a Fox series....and not ABC fluff, and who knows this may some how get connected with the movies in one way or the other...

I know, but it looks like ABC Family fluff.

And no, it never will get connected because the creators don't give a shit about the movies and would rather make a teen angst show with bad hair and wardrobe where the sentinels are little rolling droids.

Saw the first episode, pretty dang good...can't wait for more...I like it more so then even Legion...

redfox · 10-08-2017, 10:17 AM

The first episode was on par, as far as introductory episodes go. A lot of potential set-up. Really looking forward to see where this show can take us.

Exodus · 10-12-2017, 11:19 AM

For one Jamie Chung actually is doing a good job as Blink, she's more eye candy if anything every time I see her act...Thunderbird is great too. Hope this show is like the next Flash.

redfox · 10-12-2017, 07:43 PM

Overall, I liked the second episode. The show is still in its "introductory" phase, which is standard for these kinds of shows. Can't wait for it to really find its groove and let loose.

Scaleface · 10-13-2017, 02:43 AM

Reminded me a lot of the pilots for Mutant X and the last Tomorrow People reboot.

Show still pretty good...

Are there not many Arkers watching this show? It's definitely not fluff show either...Has a good balance. Love how they brought the Esme sisters in it!!!

Thor Laserpunch · 12-15-2017, 03:39 PM

I started watching it with enthusiasm... it's getting a little soapy for my liking though. I'm definitely not seeing it in the same league as the ABC family crap though--it's got teeth, but it's sorta 90210-ish.

redfox · 01-02-2018, 05:44 PM

Really liking the series so far. Very much a comic book show. Love all the little nods to the material. The Cuckoo's have been great. Looking forward to what's up around the bend.

K Dubious · 01-03-2018, 09:14 AM

My lady and I really enjoy the show. We were hooked from episode one. I really like the subtle nods at the source material. Yes it is a comic based show, but if you didn't know any of the source material you could still find it entertaining.

So are Eclipse and Sunspot the same person?

No. Eclipse was made for TV like Buff and Refrax

It is? Has The Gifted been renewed yet? I don't want to bother getting invested just for it to get canceled. Of course, that's assuming it doesn't suck major ass.

Gifted isn't bad, but it isn't great either. Alot of these comic shows are really hit or miss. The only ones that are worthwhile are the netflix ones

I've been really enjoying the Gifted- I'm a few episodes behind- It's got a pretty decent TV budget and a respect for the comics that most shows are missing. I think it's got a very 'X-Factor/GenX' feel and lots of small Easter eggs for Marvel fans. The bad guy running things is a pre-disfigured Ahab and he has introduced the Hound program to the government. Not all the story lines or acting is movie quality- but it's better than about 1/2 the Netflix Marvel stuff... even if it doesn't make it past season 1 it's worth giving a look.

The Gifted is supposed to be set after the movies where no one knows what happened to the X-Men (My guess is they're on an Australian Vacay)

I think The Gifted picks up and gets better around episode 4ish
