    It lacks commitment, entertainment and seems to have been written in a caffé with nothing better to do. The characters are childish and uninteresting.

    Wooden acting, a trite and way too obvious plot, boring action scenes and stupid characters doing stupid things. If you expected anything from Marvel's Inhumans other than a sad waste of production cost, you'll be disappointed.

    Yecch.

    I think maybe the first rule of screenwriting is "give the audience a reason to care." Somehow, Marvel's Inhumans completely fails at that. You've got basically five Good Guys: a spoiled and entitled queen, a spoiled and entitled princess, a mute king, a big tough military guy with hooves, and a weird arrogant face-tattoo guy. None of them have any kindness or humor or sense    Yecch.

    You've got basically five Good Guys: a spoiled and entitled queen, a spoiled and entitled princess, a mute king, a big tough military guy with hooves, and a weird arrogant face-tattoo guy. None of them have any kindness or humor or sense of duty to anyone but themselves. It is unclear why they are Good Guys.

    Then you've got one Bad Guy: Ramsay Snow, who wants to overthrow these "let them eat cake" nitwits and end the caste system on the moon. Actually, he sounds like a Good Guy, but they're sure to play very very sinister music whenever he's on screen so we know we're supposed to root against him.

    The Good Guys get sent to Earth kind of like that He-Man movie from the '80s, and we watch them be total jerks to ordinary people. Then the Bad Guys chase them to Earth and we watch them have a bunch of inconclusive fights and say a bunch of "tough girl" one-liners.

    This show sucks.    … Expand

    Marvel's Inhumans is absolute trash. i am shocked that something so bad came out of Marvel Studios. First and foremost, this looks like the cheapest thing Marvel has ever made. it looks fan made. And don't even get me started on this shows actors; they're all terrible.

    "Inhumans" is already again, the first series I saw, and the first time I experimented a series, obviously was not as I expected, because the plot was regular, but in terms of performances, special effects and history were disappointing , in fact the first two chapters were a waste of ice water for fans of the Marvel series, and for fans of the series in general.

    This show is why Nobody takes the genre seriously. Dull, Uninteresting, Unispiring, Ugly Trash, Inhumans set such a low set for MCU that not even Batman & Robin or TASM2 or Suicide Squad or Fan4stic or X-men: Origins have reached. Yes even them which were piss poor.

    Characters are all unlikable, The villain becomes the Hero, The main female's iconic hair gets cut during the 1st Episode, CGI is garbage, Action-scenes seem to be made by 3 year old kid. Even the cute Lokjaw doesn't save this from being the Ugly Garbage Pile of S*it.

    Either I'm getting too old, or this show is aiming at an audience of 10-12. If it's the latter, add 7 to my score. After the Defenders, Daredevil, Iron Fist, etc. how could Marvel produce such a bad written, childish show? I really don't get it. I could see max. 10 minutes from the 1st episode and then switched my tv off.

    I've watched all 4 episodes to date, and this show is just embarrassingly bad in nearly every way, even by Marvel TV standards. This is like taking a 20 or 30 year backward step in tv time. The special effects are almost non existant, and when they use one its like something you would have seen in the 80s. The story SUCKS, the dialog is terrible and even the cinematography is horrible.

    "Нелюди" или "Сверхлюди" (слава нашему переводу) Довольно таки скучный, неинтересный и дешевый сериал от Marvel. Те-же "Агенты ЩИТ" намного лучше этого безобразия, давайте поподробнее.

    Изначально должен был выйди фильм в 2019 году, но почему-то решили сделать сериал (точно не помню почему) сериал доверили Скотту Баку который был шоураннером "Железного кулака" от Netflix.

    Изначально должен был выйди фильм в 2019 году, но почему-то решили сделать сериал (точно не помню почему) сериал доверили Скотту Баку который был шоураннером "Железного кулака" от Netflix. Я лично считаю Кулака худшим сериалом Netflix и Marvel. Потом пошла информация что сериал будет снят на IMAX камеры, и у меня вопрос? Что там было снято на IMAX камеры? Я именно сейчас про первые две серии сериала. Из графики только отдельный респект за Локджо.

    Персонажи и их поступки. Дааа, вот это классно. Горгон которому было приказано не говорить об Аттилане людям. Что же он делает? Он когда отправляется искать типо погибшего Тритона, лезет в воду сука с копытами! Его находят серфлангисты и он ВСЕ ИМ РАССКАЗЫВАЕТ! Что он блять на Луне живёт и у них там есть большая собака. Ну да ладно, это ещё не все, поговорим про Медузу. Королева Аттилана у которой сверхспособность это её волосы. Во второй серии (или в первой) ей их обстригают, теперь это очень "важный" персонаж сериала, она переводчик для Черного Грома. Во второй серии её пытается убить Оран, но Медуза прокалывает ей бок, хотя она знает что у Оран блять есть регенерация. Почему Медузе так было сложно воткнуть этот нож ей в голову? Можно подумать это все? Нет, ещё нет. У нас ещё один персонаж. Карнак. Он весь такой стратег и гений. В первой серии на него нападают три нелюдя, он же умеет предугадывать любые действия. Но, во второй серии, ОН НЕ СМОГ ПРЕДУГАДАТЬ ЧТО ОБЛОМАЕТСЯ КАМЕНЬ И ОН УПАДЁТ ВНИЗ И РАЗОБЬЁТ СЕБЕ БОШКУ. Мда... про остальных персонажей мне попросту лень говорит, скажу вкрацее. Кристал красивая, но её любовная линия с пацаном вообще не нужна. Черный Гром, Король Аттилана, для которого блять даже субтитры не сделали, хотя зачем? У нас же есть Медуза. И у которого способность это его крик, кричит он только в последней серии.. Ну и Максимус, человек который хочет сдать нелюдем, но у него конечно ничего не выходит и Черный Гром его оставляет на разрушенном Аттилане. Довольно таки интересный злодей, прям вообще.

    Серии сериала. Они как я и говорил скучные и неинтересные, так ещё и персонажи почти ничего не делали пока находились на земле. Тупо ходили и искали друг друга, как интересно блять, я уже на начале почти каждой серии хочу спать.

    Ну и сюжет. Который подан очень плохо, как и сам злодей данного сериала.

    В итоге, в сериале плохо почти все. Кроме Актёров, Локджо и первой интересной серии.

    3,625/10. Если ABC захочет продлить данный шедевр на 2 сезон, я тупой буду орать.    … Expand

    From what could have been a great Marvel movie along the lines of Guardians of the Galaxy and then demoted to a TV spin-off from Agents of Shield, Inhumans has failed to live up to even Marvel's worst small-screen efforts, let alone the show it sprang from.

    Marvel's proven it can take even the silliest of settings and spin it into gold. Just look at Thor, a movie that probably should have been terrible, but turned out great. The problem with Inhumans lies not with the idea but the execution. The story is predictable, the dialogue is cheesy, the characters are wooden, and you know you've got a problem when the best acting is coming from the only guy who's a mute. Even Iwan Rheon seems like he's drowning, trying to keep his head above the bad writing. This is not Game of Thrones.

    To be fair, the fight scenes are entertaining. Mortis is funny. Maximus (a.k.a. Loki with a beard) is somewhat fun. That's about it.

    Agents of Shield has witty dialogue, likable characters, interesting stories that cleverly borrow ideas from the comics, clever tie-ins with the movies, and a self-aware sense of humor. Daredevil and Jessica Jones have dark, gritty atmospheres, flawed, human protagonists, and a dramatic sense of poetry and tragedy. This show has a magic bulldog.

    I made it six episodes in and I can't do it anymore. I'd rather rewatch Iron Fist or Defenders over this, and they're both pretty bad. The show has passed the point of no return. It can't be saved. It's got gangrene and it needs to be amputated.    … Expand

    Inhumans didn't look too bad, but after enduring about 4 episodes, I had to switch off. Another reviewer said this looks like a fan-made project, which is a good description. It's a slow meandering bore. Compare Inhumans to something like 'The Gifted" and the quality differences are very obvious.

    STORY: 1/10 –The more I watched the show the more I found myself rooting for the villain and hating the heroes. The hero’s goals are to support their governmental system of slavery, classism based of eugenics, and the injustice based of the powers of an autocracy. The villain is fighting for freedom of the slaves of society who are forced into hard labor. As a result I found myself rooting for the villain and actively disliking the heroes.
    - The characters do illogical things and often character motivations of the secondary cast do not make sense. Secondary characters help the primary characters without knowing who they are OR why they should help while at the same time dealing with the abusive heroes.
    + Ken Leung (Karnak): had some of the most interesting dialogue in the series. Eventally poor writing holds this character back.
    - Serinda Swan (Medusa) is a terrible actress who did not seem to get her character. She does an OK job as the season goes on.
    ~ Anson Mount (Black Bolt) they seem to just wonder around without really knowing what to do. The disconnection you feel from this character comes from their inability to communicate with others and especially the audience.

    SOUND: 4/10 For me music is not important until it actively stands-out as bad … and hear the soundtrack often consists of songs that drowns out the dialogue in the worst way. Some of the time the soundtrack includes words which makes this problem even worst.

    Jokes: Most are unfunny and fall flat.

    SPECIAL EFFECTS 7/10: Most people hate the poor looking special effects but I do not think they are that much of a problem compared to the poor story, and character motivations.

    OVERALL:
    - Nonsensical Character motivations
    - Story where the hero’s defend a government based on slavery (caste system) though eugenics
    - Villain more likable then the heroes
    - Jokes fall flat

    Inhumans is a royal mess. Despite its 8 episode season, a lot of it just feels like filler and never gets your invested in the storyline. Maximus is portrayed well by Iwan Rheon but he doesn't get enough to do, and that can be said for most of the characters. Crystal is the worst character, coming off as annoying and entitled. This show should be avoided.

    At no point during the two-hour premiere does the action choreography, the writing, or the monsoon of hilarious excuses for special effects serve to justify this show’s existence. Swan and Mount are stiff and joyless, although given the insipid dialogue they’re saddled with, who can blame them for wearing a look of constant constipation?
