Inhumans doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. It tries for a joke now and again, but it is overall somnolent and solemn where it should crackle and kid. Read full review

Inhumans is more comic book-y, with an emphasis on special effects. The target audience appears to be teenagers rather than a mass audience. The effects, though, which include a teleporting giant dog, are pretty cool. Read full review

Inhumans has an eight-episode run on ABC, but by the second hour, it already feels like they’re stalling, or running out the clock. Read full review

The dialogue is stilted, the costumes are too literal, the sets are drab and the action scenes are poorly directed and hard to follow. Read full review

Marvel’s excessively miscalculated series is nearly performance art. It’s theater of the absurd. Or maybe it’s just a sloppy and hastily thrown together TV show to satisfy a corporate obligation, and no amount of Terrigen Mist is going to turn it into something interesting. Read full review

Inhumans has nothing at all to recommend it. Its only superpower is its sheer ineptitude. Read full review

I wouldn't say that the effects are as bad as everyone says they are! Come on guys give the show a shot!… Expand

My personal opinion that this show is great. I really like this actors in this roles, they are amazing. Also i heard a great music during all episodes, nice jokes, nice story, nice special effects (of course Medusa's hair and Lockjaw too), maybe I'm blind, but for me everything is great.My personal opinion that this show is great.

Yes, there are some minuses, but they are insignificant. I'm a big Marvel fan and I saw all of their projects. I can say that this is not the worst project that Marvel did. I'm glad that I do not believe commercial critics and saw the Inhumans TV series. I want to advise you to watch this series.… Expand

In short: Flawed execution of a great story, enjoyable characters and interesting concepts but still enjoyable enough. Longer version: I saw the negative reviews from fans and critics and was curious as Inhumans were handled well in Agents of Shield. So I started watching the first episodeIn short: Flawed execution of a great story, enjoyable characters and interesting concepts but still enjoyable enough. Longer version: I saw the negative reviews from fans and critics and was curious as Inhumans were handled well in Agents of Shield. So I started watching the first episode and later the whole show. Rarely if ever were I so divided. The story, characters and concepts / ideas were excellent. The execution however is sometimes really bad. I mean wooden acting, scenes that reminded me of plays at school instead of a show with this budget and other scenes that did not work as intended atop of some bad special effects (I am normally not the guy who rants about this). To be fair they have also sometimes good acting, well done character moments and scenes that make me think how good the show could be if everything was this excellent. Lets start at the beginning: The Inhumans were created long ago by an alien race from normal humans as powerful soldiers to fight for them. Later they abandoned the project and the Inhumans formed their own secluded society while later migrating to the moon to hide their presence. An Inhuman is practically a human with dormant genes that can give him/her superpowers. As passage rite every Inhuman is exposed to Terrigen mist which activates the genes. This is however as much a curse as a blessing. The changes are random and unpredictable. You can get something awesome or mutated into a horrible appearance or even both. For example the king of the Inhumans and his brother were differently cursed by this. Black Bolt the king got voice powers strong enough to destroy a city at full power (in the comics even more from continent to small planet destroying powers). Even a small whisper can kill people around him and he has to live with it. His brother Maximus was transformed into a baseline human and is looked down by others because of it. There is also a strict caste system as the resources and living space is limited (The powers you get also affect your later status but you can also be a prisoner of your role caused by abilities). The story starts shortly after the Inhumans destroyed a lunar rover because it came to close to their hidden home of Attilan on the moon. Maximus started a coup against his brother as there are many unhappy with the caste system. The royal family must hastily flee to Earth and are separated while being hunted. The rest I wont spoil. The story for itself is enjoyable and works well. There are some good twists and reveals that kept me entertained. Sadly there are some scenes that are poorly directed / done / acted. It took me out of the immersion and I can fully understand why others disliked the show. While I am at it: It was a bad idea to give the show an IMAX theatrical release. The people were hyped and expected something far greater. It was a disappointment and a good example for being over-hyped. Back to the review: The acting is similar. There are so many good moments and poor moments. I made the school play example earlier on and I was even not looking for this. I blame it on the script or director as I think the main characters are proven actors. I like all of them and their arcs. Be it Anson Mount as Black Bolt who works so well as silent protagonist in many scenes. Serinda Swan as Medusa also delivers strong scenes as do Ken Leung as Karnak and Eme Ikwuakor as Gorgon. Again there are also bad scenes. Iwan Rheon as Maximus is such a great humanly villain (Unintentional joke). I fully understand his motives and flaws. So much character development but not everything is done well but from the potential I say this could have been pure gold. I must also point out that the special effects are somewhat weak. I find Attilan pretty boring and the effects of superpowers were sparingly used. The fight choreography however improved greatly and at the end I will give positive credits here. Overall this will become my prime example for a hit and miss show. It is so good on paper but does not always deliver. If they introduced the characters into Agents of Shield with their staff and direction it would have been awesome (There is a gap between season 3 and 4 of 6 months in universe that could be used). It is not great but also not as awful as other people rated it.… Expand

"Нелюди" или "Сверхлюди" (слава нашему переводу) Довольно таки скучный, неинтересный и дешевый сериал от Marvel. Те-же "Агенты ЩИТ" намного лучше этого безобразия, давайте поподробнее.

Изначально должен был выйди фильм в 2019 году, но почему-то решили сделать сериал (точно не помню"Нелюди" или "Сверхлюди" (слава нашему переводу) Довольно таки скучный, неинтересный и дешевый сериал от Marvel. Те-же "Агенты ЩИТ" намного лучше этого безобразия, давайте поподробнее.

Изначально должен был выйди фильм в 2019 году, но почему-то решили сделать сериал (точно не помню почему) сериал доверили Скотту Баку который был шоураннером "Железного кулака" от Netflix. Я лично считаю Кулака худшим сериалом Netflix и Marvel. Потом пошла информация что сериал будет снят на IMAX камеры, и у меня вопрос? Что там было снято на IMAX камеры? Я именно сейчас про первые две серии сериала. Из графики только отдельный респект за Локджо.

Персонажи и их поступки. Дааа, вот это классно. Горгон которому было приказано не говорить об Аттилане людям. Что же он делает? Он когда отправляется искать типо погибшего Тритона, лезет в воду сука с копытами! Его находят серфлангисты и он ВСЕ ИМ РАССКАЗЫВАЕТ! Что он блять на Луне живёт и у них там есть большая собака. Ну да ладно, это ещё не все, поговорим про Медузу. Королева Аттилана у которой сверхспособность это её волосы. Во второй серии (или в первой) ей их обстригают, теперь это очень "важный" персонаж сериала, она переводчик для Черного Грома. Во второй серии её пытается убить Оран, но Медуза прокалывает ей бок, хотя она знает что у Оран блять есть регенерация. Почему Медузе так было сложно воткнуть этот нож ей в голову? Можно подумать это все? Нет, ещё нет. У нас ещё один персонаж. Карнак. Он весь такой стратег и гений. В первой серии на него нападают три нелюдя, он же умеет предугадывать любые действия. Но, во второй серии, ОН НЕ СМОГ ПРЕДУГАДАТЬ ЧТО ОБЛОМАЕТСЯ КАМЕНЬ И ОН УПАДЁТ ВНИЗ И РАЗОБЬЁТ СЕБЕ БОШКУ. Мда... про остальных персонажей мне попросту лень говорит, скажу вкрацее. Кристал красивая, но её любовная линия с пацаном вообще не нужна. Черный Гром, Король Аттилана, для которого блять даже субтитры не сделали, хотя зачем? У нас же есть Медуза. И у которого способность это его крик, кричит он только в последней серии.. Ну и Максимус, человек который хочет сдать нелюдем, но у него конечно ничего не выходит и Черный Гром его оставляет на разрушенном Аттилане. Довольно таки интересный злодей, прям вообще.

Серии сериала. Они как я и говорил скучные и неинтересные, так ещё и персонажи почти ничего не делали пока находились на земле. Тупо ходили и искали друг друга, как интересно блять, я уже на начале почти каждой серии хочу спать.

Ну и сюжет. Который подан очень плохо, как и сам злодей данного сериала.

В итоге, в сериале плохо почти все. Кроме Актёров, Локджо и первой интересной серии.

3,625/10. Если ABC захочет продлить данный шедевр на 2 сезон, я тупой буду орать.… Expand

Style over substance when it comes to this series.
Stylish, good action & actors but poor character development & plot which makes it hard to enjoy. I quit after 2 episodes as I got bored & distracted, I normally enjoy such shows and prefer to finish any series I start.

Either I'm getting too old, or this show is aiming at an audience of 10-12. If it's the latter, add 7 to my score.
