TV Review: The Gifted Season 1 Episode 2 "rX" [Emz]

So it took me a while to watch the second episode due to being busy, but I finally managed it.

Here is the Synopsis:

After exerting her powers beyond their limits, Blink goes into a state of shock, forcing Caitlin and Eclipse to go on a mission to find a special serum that will help her to recover. Meanwhile, Reed faces some difficult choices when it comes to helping his family, and Polaris runs into some trouble.

This episode was really good. There are alot of things happening at once and alot of secrets yet to be mentioned.

We start with a direct continuation from the first episode with Blink (Clarice) collapses and Reed is left on the other side.

After a few arguements the kids realize that they cannot currently go back for their dad and along with htier mum decide to help Clarice. 

During his time Clarice keeps opening portals in the same place and Lauren (Reed's daughter) is able to close them. She decides to stay with the team to help close the portals whilst her mother and Marcos (Eclipse) go to fnd medication to help her awaken from her Coma.

Of course, Reed gets picked up by the Police and interrogated. other family members are interrogated also.

Thing were not going so well for Polaris in Prison, with each time she used her powers she was electrocuted.

This episode kept me on the edge of my seat, not knowing when the next portal kept opening and as each portal opened in the same place each time, the Police appeared and eventually so did SWAT.

I look forward to the next episode.

TV Review: The Gifted Season 1 Episode 1 "eXposed" [Emz]

So I had originally thought that The gifted had already aired in America, for a complete season, but it has only just started as of the 2nd October.

It is definitely not what I expected, but that's a good thing.

So The Gifted stars Stephen Moyer, Amy Acker and Jamie Chung.

Here is the synopsis for this episode:

Set in the “X-Men” universe, family adventure series THE GIFTED tells the emotional story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their teenage children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family seeks help from an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive.

Review:

This episode was brilliant. I like the way the whole story is set in an alternate timeline where the Xmen disappear and the humans take back control and start rounding up the Mutants, especially if they used their powers.

So we meet Reed Strucker (Stephen Moyer) who is a District attorney, he has dealt with Mutant cases in the past and is in the middle of a case when he discovers that both his children are mutants.

Of course as these cases go, The Sentinal Services try to take the kids away but they manage to escape.

Things don't really go to plan but with the help of an underground Mutant organisation they manage to escape, but Reed get taken away. 

The episode was quick paced but it was very good and didn't lack on the details of two hormonal teenagers and that if they didn't get the children away, no one knows what would happen.

I look forward to seeing where this story will progress next.

Till next time
