Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydSep 28, 2017
Season 1 Review: Inhumans doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. It tries for a joke now and again, but it is overall somnolent and solemn where it should crackle and kid. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Although laboring like the rest of them in servitude to a mostly nondescript script and a standard issue Marvel plot, Rheon makes the most of his latest dastardly character. Villainy still suits him, even if the drop in quality from Game of Thrones to Marvel’s Inhumans is both obvious and precipitous. Read full review

The Lincoln Journal StarJeff KorbelikSep 25, 2017
Season 1 Review: Inhumans is more comic book-y, with an emphasis on special effects. The target audience appears to be teenagers rather than a mass audience. The effects, though, which include a teleporting giant dog, are pretty cool. Read full review

CNNBrian LowrySep 29, 2017
Season 1 Review: Pretty faithfully adapting the comics, Inhumans tries to bring an operatic quality and look to the material, but the character dynamics simply feel heavy-handed, and the visuals hardly justify a big-screen TV, much less anteing up for an Imax premiere with which Marvel experimented earlier this month.

Season 1 Review: Inhumans has an eight-episode run on ABC, but by the second hour, it already feels like they’re stalling, or running out the clock. Read full review

IndieWireLiz Shannon MillerSep 6, 2017
Season 1 Review: Marvel reportedly spent some serious money on polishing the effects prior to release, and on screen the money shows. But that can’t make up for deeply flawed storytelling filled with plotholes, poorly thought-out characters, and lackluster direction. Read full review

TVLineMatt Webb MitovichSep 5, 2017
Season 1 Review: Nothing particularly clever happens as the heroes endeavor to extricate themselves from their respective predicaments in the second half; you keep waiting for it, but aside from a bit of pickpocketing... nope. Read full review

Las Vegas WeeklyJosh BellSep 5, 2017
Season 1 Review: At best, Inhumans resembles a mediocre ’90s syndicated genre series, and blowing it up to IMAX size just puts a bigger spotlight on the flaws. Read full review
