The relentless bleakness would be my only quibble with the series; one doesn't often choose to feel as battered as the characters on screen. But you won't be able to turn it off. Read full review

But if you are old enough to hold a conversation for three minutes without texting, don't need to see explosions and boobs every three minutes and can accept that superheroes aren't real you may love it.
