I have to go against the critics. Most of the critics said the problem was that Michael Chiklis and Julie Benz were out of place playing heroes. I disagree. They were my favorite part of the series. I thought they had good chemistry with one another. It's the kids that I didn't like. The son lied for several weeks about his enhanced brainpower with the phony baloney claim that they didn't love him for who he was. The daughter started off okay with just the ability to read minds, but then developed the ability to manipulate them. She went off with her boyfriend, put the family in danger, her dad tries to punish her, and she uses her power to change his mind. She could pretty much get away with anything. That's not a trait for someone who is supposed to be one of the good guys.
Autumn Reeser was great as the lab assistant/comic book fan. her relationship with Joshua I felt was a little forced. The most out-of-place person had to be Stephen Collins as the lead bad guy. After 11 seasons on 7th Heaven, I just can't see him as anything other than Rev. Camden. With all that said, I thought they still should have gotten a second year.
