The Gifted (I) (2017–2019)
6/10
Presentation better, Writing the same
5 December 2017
This is one of the better mutant TV shows I've seen, but I don't think that's saying much. The representation of powers and hype behind these mini x-men is interesting to watch to say the least. But the writing is whats really throwing it into the ground. Everything must be politically correct and every problem must be a close call that has some family learned lesson involved.

Every episode up to this point is just showing the kids get stronger while the parents say the same thing every episode about how this is a parents worst nightmare. The episodes will and can feel like they're on repeat from how the episode unfolds. I honestly believe the Von Strucker parents are the weakest link in the show and it needs to be patched up quickly. But the writing of everyone in the show is not far behind. If you can get past the cheesy, one-lining, over sensitive, cliché writing Then this show is definitely passable. But everyone should know by now from how FOX is.
