I've quite enjoyed this first season even though I think it has some flaws and some highs and lows. I must say I haven't read the comic books.
I've appreciated the tone of the series : it's fun but it's still quite sombre.
I've mixed feelings about the story : there are some surprises but they happen in the midst of quite predictable storylines.
The ensemble cast is good, the actors are all talented. But I was above all interested in three characters (numbers 4, 5 and 7). Robert Sheehan is excellent as number Four. Aidan Gallagher manages to deliver for a difficult role (given he incarnates an adult in the body of a teenager). I very much like Ellen Page but given the character she plays we mostly see only a part of what she can do (no spoilers). I've been less interested in the other characters even though they have some depth too (I found them less compelling but de coloribus et gustibus non est disputandum). In comparison, I was more interested in Cha-Cha and Hazel : there is much fun with that part of the show and the travels of number 5...
The cinematography is good and the using of music is effectively magnificent in this series. I'm really curious to watch the next season. I hope it will alleviate some aspects that were less convincing in this season.
