Its kind of hard to make a show with such awesome superpowers so mediocre. They somehow pull it off. The characters are mostly watered down clichés, with no real character depth and a Disney-idealized sense of inner conflict. There's not a mature understanding of intentions, motivations or even people expressed in this, and whoever their writers are are obviously sheltered and have yet to breach the surface level understanding of humanity, or have intentionally kept it as superficial bland and archetypal as possible, so as to avoid having to actually write something or because they're actually stupid enough to believe keeping the characters as generic as possible makes them more easily relatable to a popular audience. Its a shitty habit CW has of ripping off some older show and making the writing shittier and adding people with abs. Its pretty annoying. This is the oatmeal of television, and god knows people still eat oatmeal, but let me put it this way, you're not going to pay 40$ at a fancy restaurant to eat oatmeal and i wouldn't make it a point to watch this show unless there was nothing better on. You still get to watch people teleporting and using telekinesis which is always cool, but besides their VFX department the entire cast and crew needs to be replaced before they're going to get my support.
Cinematography: Average Characters: Just plain horrible, all of them, although i do like the sarcastic Asian dude Writing: Really, really, really bad. VFX: Pretty cool, not outstanding, but cool
At first i thought this was going to be like arrow which started out mediocre but got better with each episode, but after 13 episodes its clear, this show will never be that great. I don't know, maybe Stevens mom will get murdered sometime down the line and the dynamic will change.
