Netflix closes out the season with a superhero film that feels uniquely situated for our current predicament

explores a world in which a pill unlocks superhero powers within its users, specific to their individual DNA. The catch is that the user doesn’t know what power they’ll get, leading to some disastrous and gory transformations. This concept of superpowers via recreational drugs isn’t entirely new. Marvel Comics’ readers may be familiar with MGH and IGH which has a similar effect. But what setsapart is how it examines this drug within the context of the urban environments of contemporary America.

Intruth and justice are lost ideals, and the American way isn’t something to aspire to, but break apart., doesn’t follow the tropes of superhero cinema, not even the slightly more grounded ones like. This isn’t a story that leads to people putting on costumes. There are certainly visual clues, like Art’s red jacket, Frank’s Saints jersey, and Robin’s sweatshirt, which shares the same color scheme as the Boy Wonder’s outfit, that all serve as uniforms.
