So, I’ve been trying to watch as much superhero stuff to get a better idea of what is out there, what works, and what doesn’t. At this point, I have to say that The Gifted is a LOT better than either Arrow or the Flash – I tried, but I simply cannot watch Supergirl or the other show that is somehow even more SJW-converged than the other three shows. It’s particularly good because while the show is clearly on the side of the mutants, it also shows some sympathy to the humans who have good reason to not want them roaming free in their society.
The one problem is that it has a very distracting element, as one of the characters looks almost EXACTLY like my younger brother. I don’t mean, “oh, there’s kind of a vague resemblance,” I mean, the actor looks considerably more like my brother than I or our other two brothers do.
