Looks like pure generic shit.


Thank Odin that Marvel only allowed this to have one season.

If you notice, there's not one mention of Marvel nor any appearance of the Marvel logo.

I'm reading that the Marvel brand on this is not being used, because they want to distance themselves from the horror content. I don't know if this is just speculation, but it doesn't make any sense if true. Even The New Mutants movie has the "in association with Marvel" logo included. And what about the forthcoming Doctor Strange 2 and Blade reboot? Are they not going to be horror on some level, or maybe just not including the Marvel logo?

No, me thinks this is just some spin being used (maybe by Hulu and the producers of the series), simply because Disney and Marvel want to distance themselves and the Marvel brand from this show as much as possible -- probably because it's not produced by Kevin Feige and also because it just looks terrible.

It looks like an awful CW supernatural detective show.

If you could get through Inhumans, you can get through this.

I finished this Friday. I found it derivative and boring. It went somewhere interesting at the end of episode eight but then didn't follow through with it.

Hiding the father to the end was a mistake, and the "twist" there was pretty stupid but mostly just ineffectual. The casting of the father was wanting too. In fact, the casting of the male lead was probably the worst part of this show.

That said, it is still better than Inhumans and Cloak and Dagger. All in all, I am extremely relieved that I don't have to suffer through any more of these entries from Marvel Television. Bring on WandaVision!

Not sure this was part Fox Marvel Universe and before Disney merged the marvel tv universe with MCU.

Other than the series has no connection to the comic books other than by name and characters. Not sure who allowed this atrocity but I feel bad for the actors. Hopefully one we will get the Hellfire club and Ghost Rider.

This was originally supposed to be the beginning of a multi-series project with Hulu and Marvel Television called "Adventure into Fear", which from what I can tell, was going to focus on more supernatural characters/stories. The now dead Ghost Rider show was also going to be a part of this project. Considering Marvel Television is now dead and gone, chances are this project is dead too.

This has officially been cancelled, surprising no one.
