I believe this show is worth a watch. May not be quite what you are used to but I like the show and think you should give it a try. Give it a try without being biased before. Don't think to much into it and just try to enjoy it.
I see that people complain about the "rules" and how there are none. Blah blah blah... I completely disagree with some of the other comments. First off, the story line is about a woman named Jane Vasko, our Painkiller Jane, who delves into a secret government organization and ends up working for them. This organization tracks down genetically mutated humans and "chips them", which stops their powers. These humans are referred to as Neuros. The kicker is that Jane discovers that she has the power to rapidly heal and seems indestructible. She has some similarities to a Neuro but differences at the same time(hints at a possible gov't experiment).
Now this is some of the stuff I disagree with: "Neuro is basically a catch-all that allows the show to do anything it wants...Led by this complete lack of focus with the Neuros, the show slips and slides all over the road...possibly because it has no personality of it's own."
I believe that having no limits on what these Neuros can do does not limit the shows personality at all. I believe that instead gives room for the writers to be creative. With restrictions on the Neuros, or what one person was calling "rules", the powers available for the show to use are limited. Plus its not like they have Neuros who can control you from around the world, making it impossible to track down, they have to be within proximity. And they do keep the powers creative, I mean stealing someones age, I believe thats pretty creative. Now you might say thats too out of the ordinary, but remember before you judge it that way, that its a show about people "who can do dangerous things with their minds", its not meant to be something you expect to see.
Now I do agree there are some flaws, for instance the writers seem to try to play Loken as one of "the guys." I think thats a huge mistake, Loken is a gorgeous woman and I think the show should use it.
My rating: 7/10
Give it a try without thinking too much about "rules" and other crap like that. Just enjoy the show, you might find you like it.
