I've just seen episode 6 of this show and it's going to be the last one
I'll see. The show started out great, the pilot and the next 1-2 episodes
were engaging and I was really interested in how the story was going to
unfold. However, as it went on I found myself getting less and less
interested as the plot was becoming ridiculous, the dialogue made me
cringe, the acting was atrocious (looking at you, Polaris, with your
flamboyant speech-making and posing) and the characters were just dull.
Now, I've been able to watch shows that contain some of these elements
and still enjoy them. But...My biggest problem with the show is the choice of focus on the Von
Strucker parents. Who thought it would be a good idea to make a show
about mutants and then put two incredibly boring human characters
(whose only job in the show is to look worried and try to stop their
kids from using their powers) as the protagonists? I mean honestly,
Blink joins the Mutant Underground in the first episode as a young
mutant on the run from the law... Why didn't they just make her the
main character, her story seems to be the only one that's interesting
anyway. Or just focus on the Von Strucker kids who have to run away
from home and leave their parents behind. Maybe make the parents side
characters. Honestly, if I'm watching a show about mutants, the
last thing I want in it is two unbelievably boring humans calling the
shots. The show had a lot of potential and I'm really sorry that the
showrunners decided to go in this direction.

The first episode is basically the same as the last episode. I expected to move along. This isn't the type of show than can run 15 years. It has to be a limited series with a start and an ending. Basically the last episode is the same as the first episode. Nothing progressed. They are being chased and barely get away and the ending episode is the basically being chased and get away. Duh???
