This was an interesting situation for me. I love the Marvel Comics and superhero stories. I started watching it to sleep by and ended up getting pulled in and watching the first season. It definitely would have done this show a favor had they ended it at end of the first season. The first season is slow as many said here, which would frustrate its target audience, teenagers and those in their 20s. It had a plot, it flowed as a cohesive story, although it occasionally slipped into moments of forgetfulness of said plot. But I could follow it and it was different. The fellow who plays Ty is superb. The girl was OK. It had a great cast with great talent and the story wrapped up nicely at the end. Because most media today is stuffed with Identity Politics and preachy real-life nonsense we, who watch TV to get AWAY from everyday nonsense, find tedious and it does not add to the story. Nevertheless, I am used to such shenanigans these days and try to look past that when the plot is actually interesting and the directors and producers keep the plot flowing in interesting ways.
If they had stopped at the end of season 1, I might have upped my rating to a 6 and a half. But the 2nd season? Be forewarned. It has been such a miserable trail of non cohesive storyline, I actually walked away halfway through episode 8 in season 2. I finally had had enough of the truly remarkable stupidity of the episodes, which to my surprise got worse and worse as the season went along. It is one thing to suspend belief, it's another to make something that literally screams - I NEED BETTER WRITERS, DIRECTORS, AND PRODUCERS. I would have given it a 5, but subtracted a point for Identity Politics and ever escalating craziness and somehow mashing in preaching about social issues at the same time. None of which added to the plot (if you can call this 2nd season mess plots). You have been warned!
