    I watched this up until the 7th episode when it became obvious that we were in for the same exact thing show after show: The interesting super power elements take a back seat to a soap opera of kids who alternately love/hate their parents and trust/distrust each other. The production values are great. The music excellent. But beyond the soap opera dramatics, nothing of significanceI watched this up until the 7th episode when it became obvious that we were in for the same exact thing show after show: The interesting super power elements take a back seat to a soap opera of kids who alternately love/hate their parents and trust/distrust each other.

    A great comic made safe to the point where there's no tension or story. It's too bad, really, since there are such great actors, but the premise was neutered for television.

    Pese a que las actuaciones de los adolescentes no son una maravilla (mucho mejor los adultos), y pese a que los efectos podrían haber estado mucho mejor, la historia convence, los personajes molan (tengo ganas de leer sus comics) y la trama se va desarrollando bastante bien.

    Runaways could be great if it dug into the question of whether it’s possible to be a bad person and a good parent, a different take on leading a double life than is standard in superhero fare. But this first part of the season, at least, doesn’t seize that opportunity to stand out. Like most teenagers, Runaways just wants to fit in.

    The series attempts to transpose ordinary pubescent strife onto an extraordinary framework, using relatable teen struggles to temper the plot's absurdity. But the resulting incongruity, between the magnitude of the teens' discovery and the playfulness of their subsequent detective work, leaves us waiting for these young people to realistically process what they've witnessed.

    It’s off to an incredibly compelling start, thanks to Schwartz and Strange’s confident storytelling, and should it keep moving forward at its current pace, it could become a truly addictive hit. As it is, it’s one of Marvel’s most promising series to date.
