The Gifted Review: “eXodus”

The Gifted’s third episode, eXodus, takes us on a trip outside of the compound as Reed deals with Sentinel Services to see his family, and his wife seeks family in order to see Reed.

The Gifted Review: “rX”

The Gifted‘s second episode, rX, promises a prescription to save Blink from her overexertion, while Polaris stars in a Mutants in Prison movie (complete with shower scene!), and Reed gets hassled by Sentinels after his capture last week.

The Gifted Review: “eXposed”

Marvel’s latest series doesn’t take place in their vast shared crossover universe. Instead, we have a timely television spin on the X-men. A leader of the mutant underground gets captured, while a man who helps prosecute mutants learns his children carry the X-factor gene.

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning 3 March 2019

Did anyone other than me expect more of The Gifted this season?  If so, too bad, last week was the season finale.  Apparently DC was afraid of it, and now that it is over the Arrow-verse comes back out of the woodwork for their new episodes.  Synopses are light, but Manchester Black returns to vex […]
