Trivia
The different colored uniforms worn by Clockworks Psychiatric Hospital patients are to classify a patient's level of risk of violence. Patients who wear white uniforms are of no risk of violence, yellow uniforms have a mild to moderate risk of violence, and red uniforms are of a high risk of violence.

Goofs
In the visiting room there are multiple signs on the wall that have the word welcome written in various languages. The Greek version is wrong. It reads 'kalosorisma' which translates to the noun for "welcome"/"welcoming". It should actually read 'kalosirthate' which means "you're welcome".

David Haller: Yeah, they clear out the furniture. We get a DJ.
Amy Haller: Really?
David Haller: No. We do get better drugs, though.

Marvel yes, but Superhero?

Hmmm... OK: That was surprisingly different from what I was expecting!

For the most part, this 1st episode reminded me more of shows like "Fringe", or "Heroes", than any of the current Marvel/DC series. Apart from a couple of scenes at the very end, there's little in the way of action/violence, but a lot of substance in the way of building up of mostly the main character in in this 1st episode, helped by solid acting, cinematography, and, at certain moments more than other, the soundtrack. Yes, the main character might very well be the most powerful mutant on the planet, but he's far from being any kind of hero, like the main characters on any of those other shows... Going by what I saw in the last few scenes I could be wrong, but it seems unlikely this show will turn into one of those shows where they save a damsel in distress, the city, or planet earth every episode. Based on the 1st 45 minutes of this episode, it looks like this show has going to have quite a bit more depth to it. I sincerely hope this keeps up!
