So boring. No rythm, screwed background story. The action never truly begins. The show really is about Dion's mother complaining and crying about every freaking thing. Dion's godfather is supposed to bé the funny one... Guess what ? He's not.

Pandering to current politics, throwing clichés at the speed of sound, propelling an indecent level of amateurism on every conceivable aspect and reducing everything to a Manichean vision of the world. It's simply Batwoman level of pathetic.Pandering to current politics, throwing clichés at the speed of sound, propelling an indecent level of amateurism on every conceivable aspect and reducing everything to a Manichean vision of the world. It's simply Batwoman level of pathetic. The worst part is that it seems to be the norm these days, to the point where shows from before the 90s seem to have so much nuance and subtlety in contrast.… Expand

why almost everybody is cruising in a gigantic ocean of shortage of ideas? and why the black fog of lost has to be copied in every supernatural tv series, including this? rarely I’ve seen a casting so inadequate, inappropriate and poor. thewhy almost everybody is cruising in a gigantic ocean of shortage of ideas? and why the black fog of lost has to be copied in every supernatural tv series, including this? rarely I’ve seen a casting so inadequate, inappropriate and poor. the main roles are almost repellent, both mother and son. and (what the fudge!), every single writing process must include a couple of gay/lesbian, a black, a disable person, in this specific case, a child on a wheelchair? is this actually entertainment?probably they see us, the viewers, like a bunch of blind cows just eating grass, passing from a patch to the next all day?
no. we are not. then the answer is clearly visible. after the fog is disappeared, the inclusion of other categories of people is a mere, vile act, an hate crime reverse. an imposition. the complete opposite of a property built tv product with the only objective of entertainment. this acts are actually real tv garbage.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I started out liking it and it just deteriorated. The ending of course painted the Caucasian guy as the villain but it wouldn't even give us the courtesy of writing it well. The acting was subpar. The undertones of racism were leaking through the show in the 3rd and last episode. I was disappointed. Such a good idea ruined by the need to racially divide the audience.… Expand

This series started out well, shows a nice family with some drama and interest. At first I thought this would be a good series for younger kids maybe as young as 7, unfortunately it turns political so I wouldn’t recommend it unless they wereThis series started out well, shows a nice family with some drama and interest. At first I thought this would be a good series for younger kids maybe as young as 7, unfortunately it turns political so I wouldn’t recommend it unless they were at least 13. It’s very unfortunate because the story did not need the political stuff to be interesting. I watched the 1st season but that’s it for me I can do without more indoctrination from the left.… Expand

Mediocre drama that teaches black kids white people are out to get them. Avoid it.

I love superhero and coming of age films! Too bad this one had such poor writing, acting, and a "woke" agenda around things like climate change and racism. The cliche fat white male racist teacher, for example. The mom programming- telling-I love superhero and coming of age films! Too bad this one had such poor writing, acting, and a "woke" agenda around things like climate change and racism. The cliche fat white male racist teacher, for example. The mom programming- telling- Dion what she did about his skin color is in my opinion, a tragic infection he didn't deserve and especially the kids watching! Also, Dion's character is annoying. I don't hang out with kids that young but nowadays I see that lack of attention span in people who call themselves "adults".… Expand

But as we neared the end of season one, it took a turn for the worst. It's like children took over and were writing ridiculous situations and reactions. Took it so far from even fantastical possibilities which were no where near feasible that it actually made me angry that I was watching it. The poor dialogue either made the acting look poor or vice a versa. Either way unless you are a simpleton that never questions things in life, you will not enjoy this series. Only watch if you exhausted every other option and you have no expectation that you will get any enjoyment from watching this.watching this.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first episode wasn't half bad infected it got me hooked on the series until about the second episode, first thing I wanna talk about is the main character. The main character Nicole is an absolute **** at some moments in the show and is birarly angry to just about anyone who tried to help like pat and the aunt and not to mention the extremely lazy writing. Another thing I noticed is how by the second episode almost every character becomes boiled down to their most basic characteristics like how dion just becomes a realy dumb and emotional kid, how the mom becomes a a rude and sad lazily writen main character, how pat stays the same and how how the bully kid becomes a stereotypical bully . And another thing that bugged me is the lazily shoehorned in message about racism that had no reason to be in the show and didn't matter the rest of the show. I would also like to mention the "my powers came from [insert natural occurance here]" trope . I would only recommend this show to people who can ignore big issues with a show… Expand
