Mutant X:Season 2

Rating:
Summary: Looks like an infomerical
Review: Season 2 of this show had large changes away from the all too noticeable X-Men look in season one. It pretty much became Adam and his team of young mutants helping different people fight crime and gangsters every week, It was not much of a premise to go on, and the rateings continued to slide every week, by the end of season two, the final show saw two characters die off screen (Adam and Emma) while the other three hit the road for parts unknown. By this time, Marvel and it;'s TV partners had a falling out and went to court, thuis making season three the last for this series, and that was just as well, because it was never anything special to start with.

Summary: Ambitious...
Review: This is one show that I somehow miss on tv, but decided to pick up on a whim. The production values seem quite high for this series; the cinamatographic scope rivals that of Buffy or Alias, and the action sequences are equally surprizing, even outdoing the work of Whedon (sorry, Joss!).
It is, however, in the storyline where Mutant X comes up short. It lacks witty banter and plot points which could surprize instead are spelled out for the viewer. My understanding is that this series has had trouble with Fox because of its similarities to the X-Men franchize (they're both even sponsored by Marvel!), so the set-up with Adam feels a little more forced than simply being born with a mutation. The series, however, still deserves a look-see for the curious television fan who doesn't have the time to research syndicated listings.
