I enjoyed the show a lot, it was quirky but didn't try too hard. The characters were very well cast and left a lot of room for growth and potential. Probably the best asset of the show are the villains who seem to get crazier and crazier. I think the next episode is the one with the Mexican Wrestler villains, which should be interesting. This show has got me hooked, great job Javier!

And that's later in the show. Earlier, she threatened to leave when he asked “Barry Allen or Wally West?” The girl has her opinions.

Feels more like ABC Family, but a bit edgier and much funnier.

The comparison to The Tick that Ape made is pretty close. It's like a live-action, indie comic book.

So tell me…since I haven't seen it yet…does it feel like an ABC Family show, or could it be on Fox or Sci Fi or what?

I thought it was pretty good. The girl's really good, the Middleman was okay. He's gotta do more cardio if he wants to be able to say some of those lines without running out of breath.

The way I figure it, any show where the *female* lead name checks Gorilla Grodd and Mice Templar and then mocks Robin, the Boy Hostage is a show built for me.

Plus, she's like super-cute.

And, hyper-intelligent evil Gorilla. In the *premiere*!

It had it's moments. There were definitely some pretty funny lines in it. I'll give it a couple of more viewings to allow it to settle in. I'm still on the fence, but I didn't hate it.

I don't know about this one. Haven't heard much on it. Not sure it looks as cool as they're trying to say it does.
