Impulse doesn't take the conventional route for a show with immense powers. In uncharted territory, it's a show that's finding its way. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 06/05/2018
It's weakly plotted, but appropriate for a show that wants to make you think it's a young adult action franchise starter, when it's really an interesting and somber character study with a heroine who, very rarely, teleports. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 06/12/2018
3/5
Intense, downbeat teen superhero series deals with assault. Go to Full Review Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald 06/12/2018
"Impulse" is smart enough to give the other adult characters, such as Cleo and Tom, some meaningful emotional beats of their own. Go to Full Review Audra Schroeder The Daily Dot 06/08/2018
3/5
The focus is Henry's journey, however complicated and messy. Impulse takes care to make it feel real. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 06/07/2018
It's well-acted and looks great. But people looking for lots of teleportation razzle-dazzle might be disappointed. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

AJ 07/08/2024 I expected something similar to the film, however it’s more like a bad episode of ‘Saved by the Bell’ and everyone is Screech. Don’t bother, unless you wish to rehash the ‘Me Too Movement’ over and over and over again. See more Larry F 07/30/2023 I know that the series strays from the books, but if you can separate that (or if you have not read the books) then this one is a gem. The acting and writing are compelling and it is not easy to guess what direction the plot is heading. See more Read all reviews
