Change In Plan

[gothwalk]

I was going to watch Marvel's Inhumans, out of a general completionist tendency. I made it through two episodes before the unsympathetic characters, poor plot, weird set and costume decisions, and complete lack of sense of humour forced me to stop.

In minor points: Anson Mount does a very fine grimace, but having Black Bolt be actively stupid is just strange. And I have to question the decision wherein, given complete freedom to come up with architecture for Atilan, someone decided that Brutalism would be just the job.

I've read the episode summaries on Wikipedia, but I think my time will be better spent on... almost anything, to be honest.

I watched the first episodes aged ago, most likely together with Aidan. I don't know the comics, so watched it on it's own "merit". I didn't stay with it long. It was bad.

I think it might have been even worse if I didn't know the comic, which is a good trick...

It is very, very, very bad, and I tried really hard to find something likeable in it. I feel sorry for anyone who may have put their heart and soul into any aspect of it but if I don't like something I'm predisposed to liking it's usually a very bad sign.

On the other hand, the opening episode of S6 of Agents of SHIELD is awesome. Balance has been restored.
