The special effects are great and there are powers galore. I felt it was a mix of traditional superheroes’ shows (Supergirl, Smallville, Superman and Lois) with a zest of The Boys and a sprinkle of This is Us family relationship drama. Whatever the so called professional reviewers think I really had a great rime watching and found myself wanting more after 8 episodes! Loved it ;-)… Expand

Is it okay to take a life to save another life? Or do you allow a life to be taken by someone else as long as it is not taken by your own hands. I love how gruesome and mature the content is compared to other superheroes stories and how flawed many of these characters are portrayed much like nearly all humans. There is so much depth with these characters but so little time spent on their development for a few of them. Overall, it is an amazing show and I hope that they figure out a way to get the rest of the story out despite Netflix cancelling the show.… Expand

Excellent show, not quite as good as The Boys as many have stated, but they’re going for something different here. Just because they both have mature content snd feature super heroes doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a fair comparison.

Every episode builds on the last. Great story and character development. Fights and action mixed into the drama and mystery. This is a great show that keeps building and leaves you guessing for the future.

Because while the show misses some important details, the broad strokes are often exciting. Oh, and the soundtrack really elevates the show way more than it has any right to. Enjoy it for what it is!… Expand

What a surprise quality superhero show that got completely buried in an avalanche of super hero mediocrity.
I must admit that I overlooked even giving this show a look because I became so sick of the genre and for what it became. You knowWhat a surprise quality superhero show that got completely buried in an avalanche of super hero mediocrity.
I must admit that I overlooked even giving this show a look because I became so sick of the genre and for what it became. You know WOKE INTERSECTIONAL BULL CAA CAA..( the last Avengers film was an abomination)
Anyhoo what an amazingly MATURE script!!
It's very mature dialogue, intrigue and subtext. I can see why it got cancelled!!! It broke all of the woke rules for modern Hollywood dogma. First rule broken; they killed off two Chinese characters.. tisk tisk tisk!! No no no China doesn't like that! And we all know that China dictates marching orders for HollyWood now. 2nd rule broken; The LGBTQ+abcdefg characters were minor roles who were predominately on the bad guys team .. bad director! Bad director! how dare you treat them as mere equals!! 3rd rule broken; the petulant children constantly scolding the white male thing that has now become cliché is reduced to a drug addled loser with a bad Liza Minelli haircut, who's biggest tragedy in life is that she didn't get enough attention from daddy. Ha!! As a victim of family alcoholism and abuse, I find the character unbelievable but then again, it does describe a lot of modern adolescent entitlement and faux resentment towards the adults that gave them everything. 4the rule broken; the black character has put the slavery of the past into context and states that regardless of how it was, the USA is his home and he puts it upon himself to work hard and make something out of his life. HOW DARE THEY show an example of a black character REFUSING TO PAINT HIMSELF AS A VICTIM!! That goes against doctrine!! The show was AMAZING!! It should NEVER HAVE BEEN CANCELLED!!… Expand

The best superhero show I've seen on Netflix so far. It is a pity that it was not renewed for the next season.

However, my biggestJupiter's Legacy has a lot of potential. I'm a huge fan of the superhero genre and I've watched A LOT of superhero movies/series, and Jupiter's Legacy has a couple of unique elements that distinguishes it from the rest. However, my biggest criticism of it is that it feels like they stretched the content too thin over the course of the season. There were several moments where I thought to myself "man, nothing really happened so far". The finale seems more like a midseason finale than a season finale. The overarching plot has barely started and I feel like the first season would have been so much better if only they had made it more meaty and substantial. Here's hoping there will be a second season and that it will be better paced.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jupiter’s Legacy may have had budget problems. The story it wanted to tell needed more superhero action. I mean it was a story about a lot of superheroes and supervillains so you would expect a lot of super battles. But, the awesome battle sequence happened near the beginning (perhaps strategically placed as the “hook”) of the series; the one against Blackstar in which he killed several superheroes. It would seem that exhausted most of the special effects budget. The rest of the later action scenes were mild compared to that battle.
Too much of the series was taken up with a repetitive (inspired, then disillusioned over and over) origin story that hinted at a big finish but fizzled out at the end with a distant scene of (finally!) costumed superheroes floating in the air. The origin story was absolutely disappointing. And it took up so much of the series! There was no big reveal or surprise in the origin. I suppose the writers wanted something different from the usual 1st episode slam bang origin story that is more common but gambled on making it long without an inspiration in mind.
I was disappointed that the series got cancelled. I did enjoy parts of it and wanted to see what would happen and the rest of the mysteries revealed. It had an interesting premise that had lots of potential.… Expand
