Critic Reviews

Kelly Lawler

Sep 30, 2017

It’s a gripping and savvy series that carves out its own space in the cluttered comic-book TV landscape. Read full review

Dana Schwartz

Sep 29, 2017

Although The Gifted lacks the tongue-in-cheek humor of Netflix’s Jessica Jones or The Defenders, it stays afloat with quality special effects and surprisingly excellent performances across the large ensemble cast. Read full review

Rob Owen

Sep 29, 2017

Where the show goes will largely determine its ability to sustain itself as a weekly series, but “The Gifted” gets off to a smarter, more visually compelling start than the other new superhero show of the fall season that debuts tonight. Read full review

IndieWire Ben Travers

Oct 2, 2017

The Gifted does little to make you forget you’re watching a less ambitious version of an “X-Men” story. You can see the actors--all of the actors--straining to convey the emotional weight of their struggles, and it helps. Having people like Acker, Moyer, Dumont, and the generally strong cast push themselves to give the pilot more of an impact is a benefit that’ll carry into future episodes. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Sep 29, 2017

The family dynamics are pretty banal despite a solid cast, and the plot at least initially brings to mind "No Ordinary Family," a short-lived ABC drama about another suburban couple and their kids who acquire super powers, spiced with a touch of "Heroes" for good measure. Read full review

Uncle Barky Ed Bark

Oct 2, 2017

This latest Marvel concoction is better than ABC’s Marvel’s Inhumans, which launched on Friday of last week. Still, an overall weariness prevails, perhaps even among the most fanatical Marvel diehards. Read full review

Michael Haigis

The mutants in The Gifted champion the abnormal, the different, and the weird, but the series itself is none of those things. Read full review

Finally a comic book show done well. It feels real and believable. Characters are well cast and likable. Vampire Bill not 100% believable as a human being, but tolerable. I'm glad to see Amy Ackerman again. The actors playing the 2 kids are flawless.

This is a cool idea. I'm unfamiliar with many of the comics for these characters, but I'm familiar with the X-Men and this is a cool followup. I hope they go into more of why the X-Men aren't around, or maybe I missed it. Good show worth watching.

There are a number of good things about The Gifted. It does a good job of portraying a war between two sides and showing how this battle toxifies as each side digs in, increasingly convinced they have no choice but all-out war. The cast is solid. The story arc is fairly interesting. And IThere are a number of good things about The Gifted.

The story arc is fairly interesting. And I love the triplets that show up near the end of the season.

But having watched season 1, I don't really see myself watching season 2. Because somehow the series never quite reaches that next level where it becomes must-watch. It's consistently fine and pretty good at keeping you watching from one episode to the next, but with better series like Legion in this world, it just doesn't do *quite* enough for me.… Expand

This show has a great production and its heart is constantly in the right place. The problem is that the acting and writing make it a total slog to sit through.

I liked the premiere. It had a few issues (felt a bit rushed, seemed to delve a bit into conventional/predictable storytelling), but overall, it was a good watch. Hopefully, the problems don't compound over time.

I tried watching this show, because it sounded interesting. but, after watching not even 3 mins of it, I turned it off. It is horrible. Watch something else like The Good Doctor, or Watch Ten Days In The Valley over on ABC. Not this, its no good.
