The story takes a lot of time to develop. The displays of power are few and scattered. The Runaways never gets boring but doesn't pump your blood either. The comics on which this show is based is one of a kind and I must say that this series doesn't live up to its source material.

This isn't like no other superhero show this is a morden show, they don't just have one villain they have multiple, a group of friends, parents. The Kids are the hero in this show.

When it comes to marvel studios I will pretty much watch anything they make so I have now watched the runaways and this was just a pretty bland nothing show. The premise of the show sees a group of teenagers find out a secret about their parents and look to investigate further. Now the main characters are these unknown teen actors and the acting and their characters are very mixed amongst all of them. They all have good moments as a cast that at times allows you to buy into their situation. But there is also times of bad cheesy acting that comes across as the work of inexperienced performers. The more interesting characters were that of the parents who for the most part deliver strong performances even though I do question some of their character traits as the season progresses. Also credit to Julian mcmahon who does a good job in his role when on screen. The story of this show is relatively interesting as you see these kids investigating their shady parents who you realise are more layered then the show sometimes gives them credit for. However, this season of this show has absolutely no pay off and it just feels like a big setup for when there is a season 2 where they will deliver on all the promises made this season. The script has some decent dramatic exchanges that really delivers the hostility very well, but as mentioned some of it comes across as overly cheesy and very drab especially when in the humour department. The style of the show has some decent effects in it and I felt like especially in the 2nd half of the show they left the school drama behind which I appreciated. But there was also some bad CGI at times, and I feel like this show could really have done with a few more episodes to deliver a satisfying first season. Overall this is an average show that if you're a big marvel fan you might enjoy otherwise it isn't really worth your time.

Even though I didn't read this particular comic... it was rather short lived anyways... I am actually more familiar with the characters from Marvel Avengers Alliance... an interesting game that Disney pulled the plug on that vastly expanded my knowledge of the Marvel Universe, despite the fact that I have been invested in it for 25 years. My favorite is Nico Minoru and I thought she was well represented, as was Karolina Dean... its surprisingly great! Watch it!
