    season two has more action than the first, which story line is build slow, It's great to see that the writers really focused on the development of the character in the new season, especially on the kids dynamics

    It was supposed to be a short series about teenagers in the world of Marvel Universe, and it rather came out to be great tv series. Better production than what CW presents from DC. The comic book world is of course not realistically like in the case of Netflix production and suffers from lack of scenography or special effects, but as a drama teen it works great.

    Восхитительный сериал. Он манит своими кадрами и великолепным саундтреком. Сюжет местами странный, но в целом он хороший, главное это проникнуться просмотром этого сериала. Между героями есть химия. У него есть и минусы, например повествование, местами скучное

    The first 3 episodes, if anything, show you that show is handled very well, but it does start a little slow. The cast is spot on, the teen drama is handled very maturely, the new side plot on the Pride is actually very interesting, but some action wouldn't hurt, specially since they are being true to the characters and the comic.

    Great teen-adventure-weird drama. It plays things safe in some things, but then it gets weird in a good way. The characters are relatable and there is a lot of mistery going on. Very packed TV show. So fas so good.

    I am a huge fan of the source material, so my expectations were pretty high up there for this one. Thus far, it has been a solid B for me.
    Pros:
    faithfulness to the story-line
    reasonable deviations where necessary
    visual quality
    Cons:
    too much focus on parents for my taste
    some iffy choices (Molly up-aged, Chase not being the 'dumb guy', Gert's crush immediately obvious, etc)
    too serious

    It's quite an interesting concept from marvel. At the first few episodes it's boring and have to bear with it, in order to catch up. But tension is there in each episode after the serial invests 2-3 hours of screen time in each character, and you can sympathize with them. Not the best visual effects and not the greatest directory cut, but it's a decent enough series to hold it's ground.It's quite an interesting concept from marvel.

    A spot on retelling of the amazing Brian K. Vaughn comic so far. The cast is pitch perfect and the focus is on relationships rather than action, which is where it should be. Excited to view beyond the first three episodes...

    Great series. Im a huge fan of the source material and I was really worried that the show wouldnt capture that same magic. Glad to be wrong, although a little slow it is setting everything up perfectly for the next season. I was also worried about some of the changes they were making/adding and it all worked out really well. Cant wait for Season 2. For anyone that enjoyed this series IGreat series.

    A masterful step up from the first season. The first season worked as a prologue so the second could be filled with intricate relationships, humor, and heart. The show might falter slightly in the middle, but it soon picks up with a final couple of episodes that leaves the viewer gut-wrenched and wanting more. Can't wait for it to be renewed for a third season.

    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.
