Reviews
Hollywood Reporter - Director David Nutter gets the series off to a rousing start, practically packing every frame with suspense, special effects and an urgency that drives this show like an incessant drumbeat, New York Times - One of the more humanizing adventures in science fiction to arrive in quite a while, the series is taut, haunting, relevant, and an exploration of adolescent exceptionalism rendered without the cheerleading uniforms and parody of HEROES, USA Today - As much as the show recalls the movies, it also recalls some of the best work ever done in the genre for TV: the Buffy universe of Joss Whedon. Most every blast of portent and bombast is lightened by a throwaway joke; scenes of intense action and violence give way to equally well-realized scenes of domestic life that root the fantasy in emotional reality, TV Guide - This show lives up to its franchise's reputation for suspenseful action, Variety - Under director David Nutter and show-runner Josh Friedman, the first two hours roll a slick brand extension off this profitable assembly line, Newsday - Humans vs. cyborgs in a movie spin-off that's surprisingly effective for fans of both action and character drama
