I liked the cinematography and the music, they help with the overly emotional plotline. Everyone here is downtrodden, barely keeping it together. It's interesting to see how Cloak's family tried to do better after the death of their son, however Dagger's mom couldn't deal with her sorrow and they fell apart. Yes, there is a certain political aspect to this show, however at least it's not blatantly genderist like Impulse. I feel this one is much more about how you deal with pain and tragedies than Impulse, where they try to write everything into dialog. Here, there's much less dialog, and the actors play decently enough for us to get how they feel. The decrease in dialog makes this series a whole lot less cheezy than other superhero series like Flash, Green Arrow or Smallvile. Marvel thankfully doesn't push this in most of their series, which saves us from a lot of secondary shame. I also like the possibility the two types of mind reading gives to the plot: this was we still get to know what the characters wish for or fear, without bad dialog. On the other hand, I see how this could be seen as overly emotional, politically driven, and a bit flat storyline. I like the characters from the comics, so I'm probably more attached to them than avarage. Finally, I gave it 6 starts, but I feel like imdb ratings are over the top in most cases. My 6 is other people's 8.
This is my star rating system: 1 star: I wouldn't even let my dog watch this 2 star: I forbid my mom from watching 3 star: I let my mom watch this, but I would never watch it 4 star: I might watch it if I don't fear my depression at that particular time 5 star : Avarage flick, good to watch once to spend time, but not that exciting 6 star: Actually makes me feel things for one reason or the other, better than avarage, but has several mistakes, but I only recommend for fans of genre 7 star: Despite it's mistakes, I'd recommend this to people 8 star: Highly recommended to watch, contains deeper meaning 9 star: Must watch, get watching! 10 star: Timeless masterpiece, if you haven't watched it you have 3 hours to make ammends.
