I Knew FOX Would Cancel This Show Because I Liked It

 

 

 

I really did enjoy this one. Sure they were the gloomiest mutants ever but all the ennui was interesting and the choice of the mutants to have in the larger story was very smart because their powers worked well on television and were relatively cheap to do with stuntwork or simple CGI. But of course as I predicted way back when this show started two years ago that it would be lucky to even get two seasons. FOX makes these genre shows but they never support them. A major reason that network shows are dying but in the world of shows you can binge on there is good room on TV for a weekly show that gives you a bit of a breather between episodes before seeing the next one but unfortunately that has become a very old fashioned notion of late so people tend to forget about these programs if they don't have entire seasons in front of them before they ever start to watch. This one will find  a home where they will stream it and five years from now it will be seen as a little show about mutants that got away from us because it was too good for the times and place it was produced. On Netflix this one would have been a huge hit. I am sad to see it go.
