It’s a gripping and savvy series that carves out its own space in the cluttered comic-book TV landscape.
Where the show goes will largely determine its ability to sustain itself as a weekly series, but “The Gifted” gets off to a smarter, more visually compelling start than the other new superhero show of the fall season that debuts tonight.
The Gifted falls pretty squarely in the middle. Based on tonight’s pilot episode (the only one Fox screened for critics), it gets the basics down and doesn’t try to deliver more than what you might expect, for better or worse.
The Gifted does little to make you forget you’re watching a less ambitious version of an “X-Men” story. You can see the actors--all of the actors--straining to convey the emotional weight of their struggles, and it helps. Having people like Acker, Moyer, Dumont, and the generally strong cast push themselves to give the pilot more of an impact is a benefit that’ll carry into future episodes.
The Gifted has come out of the gate with a solid first hour and memorable cast (something that’s hard when there are so many of them), and there are plenty of things that should make viewers optimistic--assuming it can cut through the noise and prove that it deserves to.
The Gifted is driven by action, not character development, and it soon settles into a humdrum series of cheapjack versions of set pieces from Carrie. Don't get too excited; whether through budget shortfalls or fears of rousing the FCC programming police from their deathbed, there are no exploding heads or even a pig-blood shower. Such a pity.
The mutants in The Gifted champion the abnormal, the different, and the weird, but the series itself is none of those things.
