Could this be the worst superhero adaptation ever?

The TV show, however, which was developed by TV veteran Steven S DeKnight

and showrun by Sang Kyu Kim after DeKnight bailed, having just written the first and last episodes of the season, has none of that sense of purpose; none of that sense that this isn't just another"superheroes in the real world would suck" story.

Presumably, this was done to provide audiences with a better understanding of these characters, their relationships and the world they inhabit, but it lands up failing to do over eight hour-long episodes what the comic book did in a few pages. It meanders all over the place delivering exposition-heavy stage-setting and boring soap opera for hours on end, but by the time the big twist at the end of the final episode comes along, it feels like it comes almost completely out of nowhere.

The acting seldom rises above"pretty good" and is often quite terrible, especially from those in smaller roles, and the effects, fight choreography, and hair and makeup are frequently well below par – sometimes laughably so. It all comes across as alarmingly cheap for something that cost something like $200 million .And that's the most befuddling part about it.
