Did anyone watch this? I binged it over the weekend and it was pretty good. Reminds me of watchmen kindve and X-Men mixed. Pretty close adaptation of the crazy comics. |

I wasn't all that interested until I saw that Robert Sheehan was in it. I've been a big fan of his since Misfits...

I'm 5 episodes in. REALLY good so far. Interesting story, incredible cast and casting of roles. Feels like a sad, dark version of X-men with characters that actually have arcs, many flaws and clashing personalities.
Yes there is

Sold.
Even if it's terrible I'll watch if Sheehan is allowed to shine...

I just cannot get into this at all. Three episodes and bored.

I'm taking a break from it for now. Maybe I'll try again this weekend. But man, this thing just can't keep me interested at all.

I watched the first season. It was OK. Had some pretty good moments and scenes, but also drug when trying to flesh out some of the characters. The wanna-be romance between #1 and #3 was weak because they are both boring characters and the actors playing them aren't that great. The actress playing #3 is a shit show. The actor playing #2 is also weak. Most of the others are pretty good though. Mary J. Blige as Cha-cha was surprisingly poorly done. I thought she would be better than that. Still it's worth a watch if you have nothing else in the pipeline.
