I can't tell you why I enjoyed this but I did.
I hope there are no flashbacks in volume 2, those were SO annoying.
From what I saw on YouTube there's gonna be flashbacks in every season and it looks like it may go for three seasons if they keep doing 8 episodes for each one the comics ain't that long and is worse than the show tbh.

Bleh. The flashbacks were more interesting than present time. This show looked cheap
when they are in their costumes fighting. Right when I actually feel somewhat into it, it ends on a cliffhanger.

The daughter is so annoying. I could do without her on the show.

George’s son looks like Zac Efron. I didn’t care about him and Chloe together at all.

I want to know more about George’s character, he was interesting.

I think some of the younger cast came act for sh!t like Chloe. Her exchange with the girl with the fire fists was so odd.

I like the show but it’s not as good as it should be.

I’ll finish it today.

yeah I just finished watching the comics on youtube and the flashbacks were two separate comics called Jupiters circle it looks like Netflix mixed the two comics together and that's why it seems so disjointed.
Whoever made the creative decision to intertwine the 2 stories fµcked up badly. They should have focused on Jupiter’s Circle then season 3 do the time jump to the present.

I am so tired of these people being shown having xes for no damn reason, especially the daughter. She is shown having xes in almost every episode so far. Unnecessary.

Just finished it and I really enjoyed it! I hope it gets a second season.

I couldn’t stand Chloe either but after reading, I guess it’s true to how she is at the start of the comics.

I liked it. I liked the way they explained the Supers origins. The biracial transporter super hero Hutch is so fine to me. Even though he is a little short. I must say his father George Hutchence can get it as well. I wonder if his mama on the show is black like in real life.

Chloe gets on my nerves. Yeah yeah. She's got so much pressure to be so perfect and daddy didn't pay her enough attention. So she gets to be a whole screw up because she gets adoration for simply being. Blah blah blah. I'm wondering where mom was? And how she's blameless.

The best power ever. The guy with the stick. That was awesome. Well, in most circumstances.

Okay, it wasn't that bad, kinda fun.

The silliest scene is when they're walking on the ledge barely a foot wide with a sheer drop of a thousand feet and the brother decides it's a good time for a meltdown over his damn daddy issues. I would have pushed him off the ledge and kept it moving.

I think the Chloe hatred is universal. Her brother is very handsome though.

I try not to get too attached to some of these shows anymore because if the can't make a quick buck they just cancel them after 1 or 2 seasons.

The way they tried to mesh the origin story into the main plot was done very awkwardly. There were way to many abrupt transitions.

The makeup is horrible. It's distracting.
The plot seems overdone and it seems corny but I'm gonna ride it out for now. I'm bored and need an escape... (That's probably what this show is relying on)

This show is a struggle watch. I’m already tired of The Code and these wigs, makeup and costumes are embarrassing.

I wish a homeless-looking motherfµcker would tell me "no killing is our code" after my superhero homegirl's head was clean ripped off by a bad guy. fµck that dude. Also, Josh can't act. His face when his father took the header was laughable.

Aight....these flashbacks are pissing me off. They really could have just told the origin story and then went to present-day because these flashbacks are confusing and irritating.

The diversity amongst the cast made me click but the plot is just god awful, the acting is subpar and the costumes are laughable. Netflix is too focused on pumping a whole bunch of originals out instead of pouring effort and quality into them. I don't see this getting another season and it shouldn't.

I will watch it but the wigs and action sequences in the trailer look cheap.
I was going to complain about them too, but you beat me to it. And Utopia's hair would be better if he combed it, just because your 100+ years old doesn't mean you forget how to groom yourself.

I think it will get multiple seasons cause they bought the whole comic franchise from Image comics

The show is kinda mediocre IMO, but it has potential. I found everything very cliche and predictable. Even the big twist at the end I saw coming.

I feel like the bad wigs was an intentional choice, but I hope they decide against it for season 2.

JFC when will they stop with this superhero sh!t? It’s as played out as zombies and vampires at this point.

This show was terrible but I managed to get through it. The plot twist in the end did not shock me at all although I was
mad Walt killed his own daughter wtf

Brandon and Hutch are fine. Dont care for Chloe. Loved the black girls in it and I wished they had more scenes.

I actually liked the costumes? I think it fits with their corniness lol

I'm on E6 and struggling. Not even boyfriend Matt Lanter is enough. He just reminds me that "Timeless" is never coming back.

Costumes? Stupid
Wigs? Stupid
Code? Stupid
Plot? Stupid

If it wasnt for the black characters, I would have given up already.

I'm interested enough to watch a 2nd season but underwelmed enough to forget about it if there is no 2nd season.

I like the show. Can’t wait for season 2.

I don’t like Chloe.

Sheldon and his obsession with the code was very annoying.

Hope we get to see George in the present day, in season 2.

I finished binging this one today. I really liked it! I enjoyed the twist at the end. Chloe is insufferable and imma need her to get it together for season 2!

Not surprise! Needed to be a monster hit to justify that price tag. In general though I think Netflix better be a little careful with their need to cancel everything. I think people are gonna start to get pissed off if they aren’t already. What’s the point of watching these Netflix series only for them to cancel them? They seem to cancel everything. Why get invested in shows on their platform if you can’t trust that they will see it through?

If I’m the talent and have choices I’d be reluctant to choose them over other service/network because I wouldn’t trust them.

Original showrunner Steven DeKnight wanted a budget of $12 million per episode, but the streaming service only gave around $9 million. The show eventually went overbudget and DeKnight was replaced halfway through the shoot amid “creative differences” with Netflix.
The show reportedly spent “an inordinate amount of time” in post-production in 2020 and Netflix had to bring in one of their veterans as a consultant at the 11th hour, though it didn’t help save the show.
A producer who works in the comic book space told THR, “Marvel shows are $15 million to $20 million per episode. If you’re going to make a big superhero show, you need at least that much.”
While a Netflix insider says the show cost around $130 million to produce, others are saying the budget soared upwards of $200 million.
Another reason for the cancellation could be because of the switch in executives at Netflix. Cindy Holland, the former VP of Original Content who greenlit the series, was replaced last fall by Bela Bajaria.

Is this the watch thread? So far liking it I'm on episode 3 I can really relate to Utopians daughter and son cause both my parents are just like Utopian but on some but on some social class Christian crap.
Lord, I was coming in here to say just that. I have never related to a show so hard. Specifically, the Daddy/Daughter discussion over bagels. Some parents are just not in touch with their emotions as others. My parents are learning but that discussion was....
