- Quotes
Nathan Bowen: If you shut the rig down, three very bad things are going to happen. Number one, structural collapse. And when the legs buckle, and the hull hits the water, that'll cause number two. A very large explosion. And those two, they don't even compare to number three. Complete energy dispersion.

Featured review
I was hooked from the get go! A great opening episode
Two young children from different backgrounds find themselves in a fight for their nine (9) year old lives while they are quickly sinking to the bottom of the harbor and then an explosion occurs on the nearby oil rig which resonates with a a bright light that envelopes these two young children who are near to death by drowning.
The two nine (9) year old children reach out in the light and somehow find each other's hand and the next thing we see is that these two children had survived their ordeal under water and are now nineteen (19) year old teenagers struggling in their current lives living flashbacks of that fateful day that changed their lives forever.
Cloak and Dagger has leaped to a terrific start after watching just the first episode. The story line seamlessly intertwines science fiction/adventure and teenage drama with cinematic style landscapes and mystical musical interludes. The two main characters first meet at a very young age around nine (9) years old, while an oil rig explodes in the harbor and the two children appear to be drowning until a bright source of light envelopes the two of them. The two children reach out to hold hands as they float up towards breaking the water surface.
The opening episode then brings the two series stars from the past tense as nine (9) year olds to nineteen (19) year old struggling teenagers named Dagger (Olivia Holt) and Cloak (Aubrey Joseph) who serendipitously run into each other at a teenage booze party in the park. Both Cloak and Dagger have back flashes of that rainy evening that changed not only their lives but the lives of their respective families forever.
As in real life, troubled teens believe they have the weight of the entire world on their shoulders and Cloak and Dagger both carry a certain amount of undeserved guilt and demons within themselves. As a little girl Dagger loved taking ballet lessons and Cloak just wanted to impress his big brother by stealing a car radio when both of their entire worlds fell apart.
When these two troubled teens face off against each other it only takes a simple hand touch to remind them of that fateful night some ten years ago when lighting seems to then strike them twice in their young lifetime. I am genuinely looking forward to watching future episodes to see how the series storyline evolves and how Cloak and Daggers parents and so called "friends" continue to impact their lives.
It is simply an excellent start to a brand new TV series which is showing great potential. I give the series a perfect 10 out of 10 rating for its creativity and fine acting by the series stars Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph.
