	Author	Review
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"There’s a light, nimble humor to the show’s treatment of superpowers and heroic antics--a much needed respite from the angst and self-seriousness of so many superheroes on the small-screen, who are all so fixated on saving the world."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"It’s plotless, humorless, laughless and pointless."	NEG

United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"After one episode (...) The cast is strong (...) The concept is promising"	POS
