Alex Godfrey of Empire writes: “An impressively unpredictable show pulsating with vitality and urgency.”
Decider‘s Pat Stacey adds: “It’s one that keeps a foot planted firmly in a recognizably real world. Excellent.”
While The Guardian‘s Leila Latif says it’s a ‘sprawling sci-fi drama strikingly performed, bracingly plotted and its characters are up there with prestige TV’s finest.’
The show also has a hugely impressive score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes – a feat not easily accomplished.

Compared to hit shows such as NBC’s Heroes and classics like Channel 4’s Misfits, the series follows a group of normal people in modern-day South London who suddenly develop superpowers.
