Author’s Note: This is a mostly spoiler-free review of Season 1 of The Gifted. While we will be talking about some general plot lines, we won’t be explicitly giving away anything that happens. That way, if you were curious about the show, then you can read this season overview to get an idea of what it’s like without having everything spoiled for you.
The Gifted’s first season was faced with a difficult task: make a compelling show set in the world of the X-Men... without actually using any popular X-Men characters. The solution was for it to exist in a post-X-Men world and focus on the seemingly ordinary Strucker family. It turns out the Strucker children are both mutants, so to protect them, the parents make a deal with the mutant underground in order to escape the mutant-hunting Sentinel Services program. The first few episodes make a meal out of this predicament, adding in dramatic twists and forcing the characters to make impossible choices to protect their loved ones, but what follows after is a hit-or-miss affair dogged by the show’s low-end production value and repetitive episode structure. The Gifted does succeed in its mission, to a degree, largely thanks to a few standout performances and some satisfying season-long plotlines, but you have to be willing to forgive some of the less-than-stellar elements along the way.
