While the production values may be loose, Impulse’s entertainment value runs strong. Read full review

Impulse doesn’t take the conventional route for a show with immense powers. In uncharted territory, it’s a show that’s finding its way. Read full review

It's often quite solid and Maddie Hasson effectively leads a fine ensemble, but Impulse really isn't the show you might be expecting. Read full review

Wow. I love this show! It reminds me of some of the super-heroes tv shows except maybe a bit darker and more serious. The acting is solid all-around, the story is interesting, the cinematography is beautiful, and locations are amazingly Americana.

It has decent, believable acting, and the story itself is new, different from Jumper, as it makes itself unique, in a way. It does have the core principle, but it sets itself apart with all the emotion and depth with its cast of strange and interesting characters. The main actors are really great. The bond between the main characters is very nicely done, and the pacing is alright. One thing I really liked was how every time I thought of something the characters should do, or say, they would mostly deliver. They were coherent and pretty realistic. It seems as though the writers thought of mostly everything in the story, there are basically no loopholes in the story, as far as I can see.

The only thing that actually bothered me was how Holce's role felt a little pushed, like she 'had' to solve everything. Though it surprisingly didn't sidetrack from the main story too much, perhaps due to her good acting. Sometimes the music was a little louder than it should be, especially in the transitional scenes. But overall, it was a great experience and I hope they continue the series, and not muck up and just produce new seasons for the money only and not for the fans.… Expand

Great series based on the tv series jumper, if you are into teleporting powers (like in the movie heroes) and similarly a secret government/society experimenting/capturing people with powers (Kyle XY? Stranger Things) you will like this!

A nicely done origin story in which a teen (and those around her) grapples with how she can come to terms w/an abusive encounter with a classmate while at the same time trying to understand and control a newly discovered superpower. Generally well-written and acted. I suspect season 2 will give us more of the sci fi elements.… Expand

Much needed improvement from the contrived meaningless action of the movie "Jumper". The lead Maddie is a compelling joy to watch as her world begins to unravel in the aftermath of a sexual assault.

Just like 'Cloak & Dagger', I didn't think I'd like it, but I did.

Again, like the mentioned show, it doesn't feel padded or stretched out. No excessive flashbacks, good supporting cast. Story is good. Getting to know her powers, not a classic villain at first, but interesting plot.Just like 'Cloak & Dagger', I didn't think I'd like it, but I did.

Getting to know her powers, not a classic villain at first, but interesting plot.

The motivation of the 'jumper-hunter' remains unclear, but the finale is interesting.
If there is a second season...

All in all, if you're into that kind of show, it's a good pick.… Expand

A rape story thinly disguised as part of the Jumper franchise. Seriously... if you want a downer show that revolves around being a loner who was raped... Then this is for you. As for me... there's one too many shows with evil rapey men at the moment... I'm out.
