Equal parts innovative and absurd, "Chapter 1" plunges the audience into a boldly creative universe that seems likely to warrant continued viewing.

5/5

4/5

A trippy, dreamy, literally explosive premiere episode of the most unlikely take on superheroes you could imagine... Go to Full Review Read all reviews
