The collapse of an oil rig in New Orleans owned by the company Roxxon causes two teenagers to become unlikely friends. Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson come from vastly different backgrounds -- Tandy, from a very wealthy upbringing, and Tyrone, a boy from Boston who has a stutter. As runaways, the two teens are targeted by drug cartels on the streets of New York City. When circumstances help form a tight bond between the couple, their developing abilities and feelings make things more complicated.

Critics Consensus

Cloak & Dagger blends soapy drama with superhero grit to create an exciting, surprisingly thoughtful addition to the genre -- even if it falls prey to a certain amount of narrative bloat.

Its heroes are suitably worth rooting for, if only they would find some positivity in their abilities, and they're certainly better together than apart (which is surely the point).

I'm pessimistic and optimistic about Cloak & Dagger, and hope the show's openhearted thoughtfulness can energize its rather bargain-bin super-mythology.

Cloak and Dagger hasn't escaped the problems that plague its brethren, but it has introduced some fresh components that make the latter feel like a real possibility.

Disjointed but an ultimately intriguing mixture of drama and superhero theatrics

This series is going to do its own thing, and be a great option for long-time fans, casual fans, and those completely new to these characters.

4/5

Well developed lead cast, a detestable villain, and a good finale, it's just a shame about Episode 9... Anyway, more than worth a watch, and a great addition to the MCU.

An engaging look at the power of hope and longing on one hand and fear and despair on the other. Well directed and artfully made, though on a pretty low budget. A slow burn, but one that pays off. Solid performances by all, especially the leads, who generally shine.

Not bad. It fluctuates between highs and lows, but ultimately it's a good product that entertains and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Es una historia con sus altos y bajos, su episodio piloto capturó mi atención y apesar de no gustarme mucho su final. Me dejo con las ganas de ver la segundo temporada.

Whilst the first season of Cloak and Dagger does have some good moments as well as decent performances from its cast, it just felt like the entire season seemed to take its time to get towards its build up.
