I was expecting something on the order of the other Marvel "kids with powers" shows, and i was happily surprised to find it had nothing in common with any of them. (except perhaps Cloak and Dagger which may prove to have similar tones) this is a very serious show about very serious interactions between teens, mothers and daughters, and fathers and sons. Henry is just about the most unlovable lead you might have ever encountered, but she has a perfect right to be the way she is. i think most of the bad reviews are by men, because of course they wouldn't understand (or don't want to deal with) what a young teen-aged girl has to endure. this is an important, impactful story about growing up awkward, un-centered, and unfortunately power-endowed, in a stark, winter-bound farming community. it's a dark tale, and all the better because of it. i saw no connection with the movie Jumper, except for the teleportation, and there didn't need to be. this is a standalone story that was dying to be told. And, on top of that gold, there's a whole other sub-story about teleportation that they barely touched upon in these 10 eps. i can't wait to see more about that in the second season.
