I just found this on Netflix & I am going to watch it all but it looks like a failed reboot as somebody elses review says. It reminds me a lot of the new television show by Marvel called The Gifted which so far is great. This one looks fairly good so far as well but I think they just about nailed it with the gifted. Just like the gifted they have a hide out which in this one is literally underground & in The Gifted they were running and hiding from Sentinel Services which in this one is called Ultra. There are so many similarities between this one and the current one The Gifted but The Gifted is doing a whole lot better.

Right from the start it became clear what kind of show this is.A basic 'The One Who Will Save Us All' hero takes the centre stage while all women are there for his sexual amusement and all men are there to make him look good. The scifi premise isn't anything new either; there are mutants who have special abilities and, of course, regular humans fear and hunt them. Sound familiar? Introducing a "The One" in 21st century entertainment just kills the story. The concept is done to death and many times better than this show pulls off.Add to this the highly unrealistic behaviour of all people involved and poor understanding of the definition of 'species' and I don't feel like watching any more episodes.That said... I like how they at least TRY to kill the enemy once in a while. Of course they have this plot-device against them and 'can't kill' and they are atmosphere destroyingly incompetent at doing so, but sometimes... they try. Which is a lot less hypocritical than X-men's 'X-men don't kill except if they are called wolverine' nonsense.You at least, at times, feel like there is a war with a hunted side. Well at least up to the point that they hold dance parties with the agents that have literally caused massacres among their own.Some actors manage to pull of very decent acting. I certainly like the acting and fighting of Aaron Yoo.But all together... I wouldn't bother with this show. It feels like a good cowboy trying to ride a dead horse. My praise for the effort but it was never going to work.

I am a big sci-fi fan and i love anything remotely related to super powers, but even i cannot stand this horribly written show whose aim seems to be only to hire super models and show off their flesh! What would you do if you had the power to teleport anywhere, move anything with your mind, telepathy and the power to stop time? - The answer is to fight with your fists!!! As weird as it may seem, that is the logic the writers use in this very badly written show! Even in many situations were they can use their powers, they are stupid enough to not to use them. Even if they do, they use it in the most unimaginative way possible to teleport sideways and use their fists again! If their aim is to just run for their lives, wouldn't it be a better option to just teleport far off from where the fight is going on? That is something for think about when you watch this most illogically written show for dumb people. I feel bad for wasting hours watching this show, it is no wonder they cancelled it!

I am so disappointed that The Tomorrow People has been cancelled. Another decent CW teen show bites the dust. I'm not sure what their definition of a successful show is but if they keep intending to cancel all their young adult shows after only one season then why do they keep making them!Look honestly this show was not perfect but there was room to develop and grow. It is entertaining and intriguing enough to pull you back in week after week. My one hope is that they finish the show properly and don't leave it on a cliffhanger. Another thing the CW network is known for. I'm sick of getting invested only to have a major loose thread remain.The Tomorrow People is definitely worth watching but resist the urge to get involved, you will only be disappointed when it ends.
