AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: The Gifted's first season lays a solid foundation for an involving superhero drama that powers past the origin-story doldrums by focusing on grounded, topical stories over mindless action and special effects.

Critic Reviews for The Gifted: Season 1
All Critics (50) | Top Critics (20) | Fresh (37) | 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.
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.
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.
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.
The Gifted is off to a hugely promising start, and well worth watching.
"The Gifted" offers impressive special effects, topical conflicts and poignant acting as it asks: What would you do for your children?
