    Amazing show
    This show has fantastic writing, acting and is a fantastic reboot of the super hero concept.

    I'm in season 2 and the episodes just get better and better.

    The show has just enough drama and science fiction that it will entertain a wide variety of audiences. Wider than the average views of science fiction, in my opinion.

    It is rare to find a show with a good plot and with science fiction elements. This show is currently tied with Game Of Thrones as one of my favorite shows. The characters are believable, you want to learn more about them and you feel it when things happen.

    Just watch it. It is a such a good show it got me to write a review and I never write these.
