It wasn't great, it felt like it was missing...something. Not sure what. But it wasn't bad. I mean shit, I watched the whole thing in a day.
Karl Urban was great.
The girl who played Starlight Is freaking gorgeous.
I don't like gore. At all. But the ultraviolent stuff was limited and not gratuitous. It didn't bother me.
I'd be fine if there wasn't a second season but I kinda want to see where it goes. [Reply]
Watched a few episodes... I like Urban, Shoe is a great fit as a corrupt head of the organization. Still waiting for some nudity other than a couple of guys butts.
Seems that a second season has already been green lighted. Will finish up the rest of the season this week. [Reply]

And what the hell is it with that these days. I don't care if I see nudity in a movie, but if you're going to, how about show the females. It's gotten pretty normal to show a bunch of guys dongs without showing so much as a single boob. :-) [Reply]
Watched up to the race last night and fell asleep right after the finish. Highly entertaining series but wow does it paint a very bleak and dark picture of the world. I wonder how many kids sat down to watch this thinking it was a X-Men
parallel only to wind up going to bed crying.
Gave a legit LOL when they poked fun at Baltimore's crime problem given the recent news. Nice unintentional foreshadowing.
This really isn't a spoiler but a prediction:
Spoiler!
Anyone notice how the directors are slowly transforming Hugie from a nerd into a grizzled tough guy with camera angles? We're starting to look up him instead of down in his shots. I thought that was a neat subtlety.
Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Thanks for the heads up, I might have missed this one. :-) [Reply]

I finished the season a few days ago, and I like where it is headed.
I know the ideas aren't the newest, but I think shows and movies should explore the obvious massive downside to having super humans in the world. Especially Super humans that may appear to be benevolent on the surface.
I started reading Irredeemable 10 years ago, but didn't keep up with it. I think it's time I go back and read it all. [Reply]
Love this show. The comic came out like 10 years ago and way more brutal. Amazon has some of the omnibuses for sale. I'll probably wait for all of them to go on a sale and read em all. [Reply]

To cover the comics it'll probably take 3-4 seasons
Karl Urban makes this show imo [Reply]
