Download The Gifted: Season 1 (2017) Srt English Subtitles for All Episodes

“The Gifted” offers impressive special effects, topical conflicts and poignant acting as it asks: What would you do for your children?

Viewers have seen this all before so many times before that The Gift feels just ordinary.

The pilot for Fox’s The Gifted is an adrenaline-propelled hour.

It may not be as thought-provoking as Legion, but it doesn’t try to be. The Gifted just wants to be an entertaining show in the world of the X-Men, and that it manages to do that without any actual A-list X-Men is a win all by itself.

There’s every reason to believe The Gifted can become something big. A show that can spawn a dozen shows.

The real trick will be how well the show can sustain its cat-and-mouse game, while avoiding the pitfalls that go with overplaying the use of mutants as a surrogate for persecuted minorities, as well as a metaphor for teens feeling like outcasts.

The Gifted is a semi-dead asteroid.

The family members, rounded out by Amy Acker as Mom, are convincingly sweet with each other – the domestic business is as well-handled as the fantastical stuff. It’s nice to see!

… The Gifted pilot was entertaining and intriguing enough for me to move on to episode two. Bring in more familiar characters with easy TV powers and I’ll be happy.

A Marvel universe show, this fantasy-drama is infinitely better than expected.
