There's a lot of humanity in this show. Characters fumble through muddy options, trash each other, hurt, endure, surprise. People are alive, and everyone has a personality. There was a scene where somebody is kicking all the mechanics out a garage suddenly, and the last guy out grumbles and shuffles. He's barely even in the shot, but he's alive. The science of it you just have to give a pass, because the story pins you. Looking forward to binging the next season in 2 days.

Its so good and the cast do an amazing job The story take you deeper and deeper I recommend it to Watch it !!

Impulse is about Henry (aka Henrietta), a teenager prone to seizures who discovers these seizures can cause her to transport elsewhere.A general question of superpower series is how much time to devote to the characters and how much to supernatural action. Impulse starts with some flashy transporty action from a peripheral character, but for the most part the series focuses on character.The danger of this approach is that you can wind up with something like Cloak and Dagger, a series I sampled right before Impulse that was almost entirely teen drama with just hints of superpowers. But Impulse handles things much better, both because it never forgets that it is a series about superpowers and because it does the character stuff really, really well.This is a smart series and it makes observations in a smart way. After Henry is almost raped in the first episode, the second episode shows her sorting through her memories and laying out the events differently. The series never says, trauma can lead to confused, complicated memories, it just shows it. Similarly, there is a black female cop, clearly the smartest person on the force, who is ignored by her boss. The series doesn't attack race directly though; the closest thing is when her boss says "you grew up in the inner city, right" and she says, "well, I grew up in a city." Even the bad guys are portrayed with complexity. One loathsome character is horribly injured, but the writers never let you feel, goo, he had it coming. Instead they show how horrendous his situation is without every pretending that he's not pretty awful.Henry herself is interesting in that she is so caught up in her (admittedly huge) problem that she lashes out at the people trying to help her. There have been some things I didn't care for, places where a character did something more dumb than seemed realistic, for example, but overall I'm very impressed with this series at the halfway point.

When I read that this is about a teen girl who can teleport I was sold, as a sci-fi fan I expected something light and fun. Impulse is anything but light and fun. It is dark, loaded with heavy emotions and generally showing the all the bad things that can happen to people. Main motive is not a girl who can teleport but a girl that got(almost) raped by her class mate which resulted in him being paraplegic, show follows her emotional distress mixed with teen anger and rebellion and a dash of comming of age. This branches out to families of both teens, their inner problems and struggles. Teleport motive is more of a metaphor than a key element. Despite good acting the teen dialog is rather weak, I really remember being more articulate when I was 16, broken sentences, use of swear words and studdering is a trade mark of a teen in this series. Lots of silence and emotional anguish moment in dark setting. This is not light watching.
