Invincible will have you sucked in by the end of the first episode with great action set pieces, but will really hook you in with the human elements. Rest assured, this is so much more than just another superhero cartoon. No, this is humor, mystery, drama, romance and science fiction, all rolled up into one absolutely addictive treat.

From its slick animation to its excellent voice cast, it’s a winner from top to bottom. And just when you think you know exactly which direction it’s going to explore, it pulls the rug out from under you in a truly exciting way. The long-running comic series couldn’t have been made into a better serialized format, and if the rest of the show is just as interesting as this one, Amazon has quite the hit on its hands.

“Invincible” finds the right balance: acknowledging what a life-changing experience this is for Mark, including typical hero’s-journey scenes (crash landings that really reverberate, grueling training sessions that raise questions regarding what kind of lessons Nathan is teaching his son, and scenes where Mark befriends other teens who also boast similar abilities), and moving the story along so that it also focuses on other characters.

This superhero show may play it a bit safer than The Boys, which won't help it stand out in the current landscape of superhero content, but for now, it works and should satisfy fans of the comic, even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel. Read full review

Amazon already has a searing satire about out-of-control superheroes, "The Boys," which has quickly become its signature series. "Invincible," an animated show with basically the same broad outline, thus feels a tad redundant, though the opening episodes, produced very much for adults, yield some of the same visceral thrills.

For now, it's found a neat balancing act that makes for a refreshing new take on superhero revisionism. Read full review

The voice cast is the easiest thing to praise about Invincible, which features J.K. Simmons as the gruff and irascible Omni-Man, Sandra Oh as Mark’s mom Debbie and Mark Hamill, Seth Rogen, Gillian Jacobs, Andrew Rannells, Zazie Beetz, Walton Goggins and Jason Mantzoukas in supporting roles. But their spirited turns can’t make up for the series’ fatally sluggish pacing — the result of stretching out what feels like a half-hour’s worth of material into 45 bloated minutes.

This was a blast to watch, the characters and story were great and I really enjoyed the interaction between invincible and his dad.The twist's were done for the most part really well and the fight scenes had such a heavy feel to them that it was just brutal, give it a go it will be worth your time.

Only seen the first episode but this was really good? Unexpectedly brutal as well! Quite intrigued as to how the story will continue to build, and what directions the show shall go in. I know very little about the comic book but it's made me curious and interested to give it a read. AlsoOnly seen the first episode but this was really good? Unexpectedly brutal as well! Quite intrigued as to how the story will continue to build, and what directions the show shall go in. I know very little about the comic book but it's made me curious and interested to give it a read. Also feels nice having a superhero show that feels more Sci-fi than your typical **** affair (also sinister and violent?)My biggest complaint is mostly animation can be a little stiff. Hopefully, if the show gets more popular, more views and more positive reception Amazon might be willing to put up the budget and really deliver some great visuals. I also think it's worth mentioning that I've always wanted to see a genuinely explicitly violent power-fantasy superhero show before (with mature thematics) this is probably the first example I've seen of that so far. I kinda hope this does well and really allows for more creative/bizarre animated comic-book adaptions. An example is that I would love to see something like 'The Goon' given an animated show or something...less violent, more mature.… Expand

Interesting until you hit episode 3. Then it turns into liberal trash. 4th Wave feminism, villains that double as gender studies professors, race swapping, gender swapping, it's liberal fanfiction.
