The Gifted is another one in line of Marvel's superhero shows that follows an alternate reality where X-Men disappeared. In a world without X-Men, the mutants are left fighting against stronger and stronger government anti-mutant agencies meant to eradicate them. Story in this TV Shows follows a Strucker family whose kids, once they revealed they are mutants were very soon discovered by the anti mutant organization called the Sentinel service. Strucker family then while trying to escape stumbled upon the Mutant underground. Mutant underground members will be familiar to any X-Men comicbook fans. Together they will need to form a plan to escape the captivity, fight and deal with the family drama and relationships. The Mutant underground is fighting to bring the mutants to safety and most of their inside debates revolve around how much force are they willing to use against their hunters, and will mostly ask themselves does the end justify the means.
Drama between the characters was very boring at times, which made me dislike the show in the end, but also the show had some great moments here and there which made me continue to watch it. Highlight of the show are some popular comicbook mutant characters like Polaris, Thunderbird, Blink, Eclipse(Sunspot) and some others. The Gifted is ultimately a decent show to watch with some cool moments and lots and lots of uninspired fill the time gap moments. The end of season one stirred up relations between characters and made things more interesting, that will make me come back for season 2, but overall season 1 was a hit and miss, I will rate it above Inhumans and below Runaways. 7.6/10
