While being at once the most engaging series I've watched it is also perhaps the most flawed. Storyline, consistency, and factual errors occur at a rather alarming rate. For the viewer that pays attention to such things you will likely be left questioning whether Tim Kring should even be paid for what he does. Unfortunately, the thirsty shouldn't complain about the water even if it is warm and dirty. In the absence of anything better the series gets a 5 out of 10.
The storyline gains some complexity in season 2 as the characters grow into their powers. This season more than the first is riddled with suspicious decisions and storyline gaps. We are not given explanation for these, so the unquestioning viewer may not be bothered for they trust it will be resolved at a later date.
Since I do not want to include a spoiler I will give examples in a separate post.
My nay saying aside, there is some gold still in the bucket. The powers and storyline are as exciting as the X-men comics and movies from which they borrow. The show achieves its own identity and even some poignant current events replayed for the fictional characters to deal with. My complaints are solely confined to Tim Kring's seemingly absent editorial process.
