	Author	Review
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"For those who like the 'X-Men' franchise and are open to spinoff stories, this is a slam dunk"	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"In what seems to be a misguided attempt to look 'serious', 'The Gifted' is a gray, humorless hour oriented towards cheap-looking action sequences."	NEG
United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"With Bryan Singer directing some episodes and onboard as an executive producer, this feels like just like an X-blockbuster on the small screen."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The show (...) is hampered by a sometimes laughably bad script and second-rate special effects, not to mention the predictability of the story line. The actors playing the Strucker kids (...) deliver decent performances (...) but it all feels underwhelming."	NEU
United States	Joshua Yehl IGN	"The Gifted set out to make an entertaining and compelling X-Men show without using any of the popular X-Men most people know, and though it has its rough spots, it largely succeeded."	POS
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"It’s a gripping and savvy series that carves out its own space in the cluttered comic-book TV landscape. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Dana Schwartz Entertainment Weekly	"Although 'The Gifted' lacks the tongue-in-cheek humor of Netflix’s 'Jessica Jones' or 'The Defenders', it stays afloat with quality special effects and surprisingly excellent performances across the large ensemble cast."	POS
United States	Alexander Zalben TV Guide	"[After watching the pilot], if they can focus and dig a little deeper (...) there's the potential to create something unique, special and meaningful."	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"'The Gifted' pilot is all the things 'Inhumans' isn’t: quick, tense, funny, occasionally moving."	POS
