This show was flying under the radar for me. I didn't even know it was coming up until I saw it listed yesterday and I almost overlooked it as another prime time soap. But when I read the description, I had to give it a go.
This series is about a family that develops "super powers". Think of it as "The Incredibles" but with less humor and more family dysfunction.
The pilot spent way, way WAY too much time dealing with the dysfunctionality of the family. I almost gave up half way through the show after the mandatory teenage girl rant about how dysfunctional the family is while the parents are doing everything they can. Essentially they spent way too much time on the set-up and by the time there was a pay-off, I really didn't care.
I want to like this series. I would love to see this series work itself out, but the way this was shot (dark, muted colors and slow pace) will make it difficult to take. This is a live action comic book. This series needs bright primary colors and a plot that moves. Maybe this will happen as the major story arc begins to develop, but I hope I still care by the time this happens. And if I do care, I hope the show is still on the air for more than three weeks.
Only time will tell.
Is it just me, or is this season just loaded with CRAP?
