I don't see it as "light-hearted" at all. IMO, it's way too heavy-handed and there's not enough, if any, humor.
Of course, the biggest issue with this series is that it's based on a comic from nearly 14 years ago and since then, comic book movies, both amazing and amazingly bad, have been released as TV series and feature films, so there's nothing really original about it, whatsoever.
Also, the "twists" just aren't that cool. I knew from the second episode that Ellen Page's character
So, when it happened, it was like "Meh". I also don't really care for the format nor the "slow reveal" of each character's powers, which is weird because apparently, the first comic was like 8 pages long, so why does it take 10 hours before we have an idea of everyone's special gifts?
Finally, and this is a real stickler to me and probably not many others, but the music is absolutely horrible. There's no Main Theme to the music and unlike well written and well produced Super Hero movies (or movies in general), the music doesn't signify much of anything for each character whereas in great Comic Book films, each character has their own Theme or even a short Motif, which identifies the character for each scene.
I'm about halfway through Season 2 and I'll finish it, if for no other reason than having a "talking point" but it's nowhere in the same league as The Boys.
I'm also absolutely certain that it'll pale in comparison to the upcoming Marvel series' on Disney+.
