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.

Caught the first one. Good enough for me to watch the rest.

I dug it.

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...

He's hilarious in this

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 to deal with but, if you can get past that and just enjoy the ride it's well worth the watch.

I think I'm 6 in. Like it so far

Enjoying it so far. Love the music too!

in a round about way, you could say this is a reboot of the misfits.

there are even references in this series that eludes to the bbc hit show :thumb:

Sold.

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

Music has been really fun.

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

Hang in there.

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.
