Ass Eater T @Supernaturalll May 5 This show will always be in my heart. The actors did a great job. I rewatch this show every month just for Klaus. They made a fair amount of separate storylines for all the characters while still tying to the main story. I thought the sibling vibe was good except for Luther and Allison. Klaus needs to be with his man in the afterlife. Also this show has great music.

See more Katie D @RT29849696 Nov 26 Good season, it was kinda boring in the beginning but still enjoyable. The thing with leonard peabody is kinda off since that character doesn't exist in the comics. Cha-cha and Hazel's duo were the best with cha-cha and hazel stayed until the 2nd season. The acting of the actors were great See more Dave O. @daevo77 Sep 26 Despite a great concept and great casting, the episodes were uneven and I almost gave up on it. Glad I stuck with it. A more robust story or 2 fewer episodes would have served it well. See more Mary B @RT67960258 Aug 27 Watched all but 11 minutes of the first episode and then said "Yeah, no thanks" This is the most dull and recycled plot. You've got characters who couldn't care less about each other's existence and don't seem very thrilled about their own. No emotion or effort whatsoever. The scene where they were all dancing to "I Think We're Alone Now" was very jarring. You've got Number One who I'm pretty sure was modeled after Pinhead from the Puppet Master series but with less charm. Vanya is essentially Jean Gray (Phoenix from X-Men) - either she does have powers that haven't surfaced or she's "so powerful her father kept her under lock and key" - again, recycled and boring (So, I googled spoilers for the rest of Season 1 - Vanya blows up THE MOON because her powers are linked to her emotional state and manifests through playing the violin - you've got to be freaking kidding me - that has got to be the lamest thing I've ever heard, it's almost physically painful how bad and horribly recycled that is) I was able to predict the plot in the first five minutes which isn't a good sign. Too much exposition. Klaus is insufferable. Pogo is very much the Alfred from Batman stereotype. I can't find a single reason to continue watching. It's like if you put The Royal Tenenbaums, Hellboy, Marvel and Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiar Children in a blender with some dog feces. 👎🏻 Now, I love Gerard Way (MCR 4 LIFE!) and I can only hope that the comics are better, but whoever adapted the comics into this stink bomb really failed.
