    My personal opinion that this show is great. I really like this actors in this roles, they are amazing. Also i heard a great music during all episodes, nice jokes, nice story, nice special effects (of course Medusa's hair and Lockjaw too), maybe I'm blind, but for me everything is great.

Yes, there are some minuses, but they are insignificant. I'm a big Marvel fan and I saw all of their projects. I can say that this is not the worst project that Marvel did. I'm glad that I do not believe commercial critics and saw the Inhumans TV series. I want to advise you to watch this series. Expand

    I watched despite the horrible reviews and Im glad I did. I feel like the negative reviews are purposely set to get the show cancelled. Most of the reviews seem copy and pasted.

    I believe that certain people which are focused on the visual effects are doing this series a injustice
    The story and the overarching plot is both interesting and poses some really interesting philosophical questions about our socio-politic reality
    if u are a cinematographic puritan this is not your series, otherwise i strongly recommend it

    I hate all these bad reviews so much!! I really like the show and i hate that it's getting all these negative reviews! I was a little sceptic in the beginning, but i really like it now! I am so glad i kept watching! I am giving this a 10 because i like where they're going with this. They could maybe invent something so Black Bolt can speak, cause now i am super curious!

    All you haters miss the point of the whole thing. I remember reading the Fantastic Four comic that introduced the Inhumans back in the mid-1960s.

All the negative reviews demonstrate that some of us have forgotten that it's called entertainment, even escapism. You all seem to expect some sort of cinematic apotheosis, some sort of revelation. Get over the self-importance. You haters all say it's bad, the worst thing on television, but I'll bet you all watch the next episode, and all the episodes of Star Trek Discovery, and Marvel's Agents of Shield and any other sci-fi-fi show you can find.

    A lot of people d'ont like science fiction. so they can't like the marvel universe in general specialy on TV. Marvel funs should like to watch marvel inhumans season 1 on TV even it could be much better.

    For me, the inhumans is an important part of the marvel universe and should be more important then the x-men or the avengers. After all, they were created by Stan lee and Jacj Kirby very early in 1965.
    The marvel inhumans serie should focus on the story and scenario and forgot about the special effects.
    Black bolt should be able to speak from time to time. Even in his solo serie he can speak with the good technology (power inhibitor). Black bolt is very skilled in martial arts like Dardevil and Karnak. He doesn't need to use his super powers on TV. As king of the inhumans, he should have all the powers imaginable. Medusa d'ont need to have hair. The inhumans serie was nice to start with but need big improvement over time. The serie is original.

    This show was excellent! This is also, a perfect example of why I don't listen to reviewers. Professional reviewers are so, out of touch with what real people want to watch, they write their reviews based on the politics of the industry and they are almost always wrong.

    I really like this show. Even the characters that they didn't have time to develop properly because their were only eight episodes like Crystal, they clearly set up for further development in the next season. You can tell that unlike a lot of shows like arrow where they are clearly making up the story-line as they go along they put in the effort to planed the plot of In-humans out ahead of time all the way for several seasons.
    The only thing I can really complain about is they did such a good job making the bad guy- Maximus evil and twisted that it was hard for me to watch. Especially in the first couple episodes where it was about Maximus betraying everyone and taking over I got really angry. (not a spoiler he is like this practically from the beginning) Many people like a really screwed up bad guy, but for me I am going to have to avoid shows with Iwan Rheon in them. He does such a good job playing evil twisted characters it is more than i can take.
    After I got through the first couple episodes everything else was Amazing! I especially liked how even in an eight episode season they where able to tie everything up in a really satisfying manner, with no cliffhanger at all, and yet still leave it open enough that you really, really want to see season two.

    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?

    I’d like to say that Marvel’s Inhumans is so spectacularly awful, it’s worth tuning in just to witness the superhero train-wreck. But alas, Inhumans does not even yield sarcastic pleasures--it’s just bad. Bad in a dull way, bad in an irritating way. ... Marvel’s Inhumans is just inhumane.

    Crammed with incessant exposition and shoddy special effects akin to those in ABC’s “Once Upon a Time,” “Inhumans” disappoints from start to finish.
