The whole series felt like a mashup between Misfits and The Boys, with less fun and more science : some young adults are involved into a genetic experience giving them various powers (thus various responsibility).
There is the crazy/alcoholic/extrovert/punk one, the lone/introvert one, and the brilliant/smart one. They unite with a scientist to find answers and to confront a seemingly crazy selfish scientist.
At first glance (the 3 first episodes) the rythm is slow, the story takes some time to unfold, and the characters are not very endearing and seem to be the usual cliché, mainly due to the acting and the writing.
Nevertheless the acting and writing evolve and the characters are much more complex than was it seemed to be. The "evil people" are not fully evil, and we get attached to the tempers and spirits of all the characters (with a special mention for Tilda and her sharp and dark humor).
Overall the series is entertaining, with some awkward moments, but showing a good effort in the combination of action, humor and rigorous science (seemingly).
Last but not least, as a Netflix series, expect the usual wokeness, so if you're not into it or at least indifferent about it you should watch another show.
