Marvel's Runaways

The Runaways are figuring out, though, what every superhero team does: They’re stronger together than apart. And the family that they make with each other is better than the one they already have. It’s clear where they’re headed, but this series offers a fascinating and surprisingly funny path for them to get there.

There’s a deep vein of dark comedy here, a satire of point-one-percenters that deepens the more recognizable superpowered-teen melodrama.

Runaways is no phony teen drama, and although the first episodes somewhat falter when trying to merge awkward angst and fascinating mythology, when it succeeds the show is as effective as any of Marvel’s other big-screen genre mash-ups.

What Runaways has going for it is being better than the fall's other new Marvel shows.

Runaways has a deliberately enigmatic narrative that serves as a strong selling point as well as a frequent source of frustration.

The series attempts to transpose ordinary pubescent strife onto an extraordinary framework, using relatable teen struggles to temper the plot's absurdity. But the resulting incongruity, between the magnitude of the teens' discovery and the playfulness of their subsequent detective work, leaves us waiting for these young people to realistically process what they've witnessed.

It’s a show that’s not very dramatic, not very melodramatic, and not very funny. Even after four episodes, the characters still feel thinly drawn and we don’t have sympathy for anyone in the cast.

This show is a pretty decent story and the idea of following kid superheroes is very fun.

Pensé que iba a ser mucho peor, pero la trama de tener unos padres malignos y de repente encontrar que tienes poderes mola. Está chulo la relación entre ellos, aunque pecan bastante las actuaciones, son jóvenes aún.

awful show. First season was good. But seasons 2-3 was slow and so unrealistic. A bunch of teenagers living together and dropping out of school? So bad!
