This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, what a trash. Actors are not awful but not good either. I could totally accept that, but the hero itself just looks ridiculous with powers that don't make any sense. Holding someone in the air with lightning ? Yeah right, no that doesn't work. Thug-boys running into close-combat with guns? Yeah no, that's not what a human would do. 99% black people cliche and thug-boy gangster talking. Boring first episode without content. 43 minutes long, it contains (SPOILER) and guy participating in his community, you get to know part of his character. You get to know he is was a hero and will be again. He does his hero act. You know who the villain is. And problems that occur in the town. Boring. The dialog is boring. The characters are boring and shallow. And again the hero looks ridiculous.

Not my thing but to be honest I don't like any of those wanna-be superhero series. I love Man of Steel and similar things, but this is just plain boring and badly written.… Expand

I have never watched a show that is so blatantly racist. This show just goes to show that black people can be big racists too.
