View Details Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for The Gifted Season 1 All Critics (54) | Top Critics (20) | Fresh (41) | Rotten (13) While there are undeniable parallels to discrimination and immigration, The Gifted is still a rather predictable, thrill-less hour of television that hasn't found a consistent source of drama, fun, or basic entertainment. Oct 3, 2017 | Rating: C- | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic It focuses on an ordinary family instead of a team of heroes, but it can't be bothered with being anything more than a bland origin story. Oct 3, 2017 | Full Review… Brian Welk TheWrap Top Critic This latest Marvel concoction is better than ABC's Marvel's Inhumans, which launched on Friday of last week. Still, an overall weariness prevails, perhaps even among the most fanatical Marvel diehards. Oct 2, 2017 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic If The Gifted hones in more on the family aspects and less on Greater Conspiracies, Fox could have a fun X-Men lite ride on its hands. Just don't expect the same level of complexity as FX's Legion. Oct 2, 2017 | Full Review… Brandon Katz Observer Top Critic The Gifted is off to a hugely promising start, and well worth watching. Oct 2, 2017 | Full Review… Glen Weldon NPR Top Critic "The Gifted" offers impressive special effects, topical conflicts and poignant acting as it asks: What would you do for your children? Sep 29, 2017 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic The writers do a good job of mentioning the time line in connection with the X-Men. And it is obvious from the beginning this will be a story about survival. The heroes are clearly defined and the story gives you enough reason to root for the mutants. Apr 22, 2020 | Full Review… Noetta Harjo Geek Girl Authority Very good, the pilot sells well the series and leaves you eager to see where everything is going. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 8, 2019 | Full Review… Mikel Zorrilla Espinof The Gifted has a fairly strong start, wasting no time introducing relatable characters and building a new world. May 17, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review… Kaitlyn Booth Bleeding Cool Fans of the X-Men, are sure to enjoy The Gifted. Sure, it can be a slow burn at times, but when a battle scene pops up, it is more than worth the wait. Apr 30, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Tessa Smith Mama's Geeky Following up the FX hit, Legion, The Gifted was definitely another strong effort to bringing mutants onto our TV screens and it will be interesting to see what the second episode will bring. Aug 14, 2018 | Full Review… Britany Murphy Geeks of Color It moves quickly and the stuff it's pulling from has potential. Aug 6, 2018 | Full Review… Joshua Rivera GQ View All Critic Reviews (54) Audience Reviews for The Gifted: Season 1 Aug 11, 2020 With a fantastic cast and interesting premise it is surprisingly Emma Dumont who steels the show. Steve D May 27, 2020 It's one of the awesome Sci-fi series I had ever watched. It's sad that after long 2 years yet there is no news abt 3rd season Hemanth H Mar 15, 2020 The series is so cool, and I can't stop repeating the episode in each seasons Melinda F Jan 31, 2020 Awesome show esp when they got to use their powers to save the other mutants. Too bad it got cancelled after two seasons...I think the plot kinda fell wayside to the mutant vs bad mutants vs humans politics and the sibling struggle between Andy and Lauren Emma L Dec 04, 2019 I love the interpersonal dynamics of the group, the leaders, both villain and heroes, are shown in a more realistic light showing both their high moments and their flaws. Sheryl C Sep 04, 2019 All together a great show. I loved the parallels with discrimination, and segregation. A very underrated show. I was very sad to find out it was cancelled Olivia M May 11, 2019 Kinda boring, but at least it's better than season 2. vyn c Mar 29, 2019 Wonderful show.....Very underrated...I bingewatched this in 2 days Charity R Feb 28, 2019 Very good superhero show. Compelling real world style characters. Doesn��Â?�Â?t give in to standard practices that bog down other shows. The heroes have real struggles, they aren��Â?�Â?t guaranteed success or survival. Keep it going please Disney.
