I've never read the comic or seen the movie. However, I am a comic book guy and was looking forward to a story with new characters not set in a Marvel or DC universe.
It seems like writers recently are all too willing to jump on the bandwagon, thankful that they don't have to come up with something original.
And where were the super-heroes? I only saw one episode, but I couldn't tell if anyone was enhanced in any way. Maybe the silver masked guy or the other guy in a red mask. But I haven't any idea what their powers are.
Lastly, at times it felt like I was watching This Is Us. A show I've never seen but can hear when my wife watches it. This just isn't for me. It's not something I want to see for the umpteenth time and really, I would like some escapism. Not a reminder of how things are/can be in real life. I can see how many people would like this show and probably have been waiting for it for a long time. That's fine, I'll pass.
I gave it 5 stars, because I can't say if it's good or bad. Just not my cup of tea and really, nothing in it for me.
