The Tomorrow People Review
Oct. 14th, 2013 10:49 pmJust watched the pilot The Tomorrow People, which feels like a better cast not to mention better plotted version of Agents of Shield except with a male protagonist as the "Skye" character and from the perspective of the X-men.
( spoilery plot synopsis of first episode )
The nifty thing about The Tommorrow People is that it is definitely not a superhero series.
And real people don't believe these kids or people exist. It's sort of "a reality based" X-men.
I've never seen the original UK series, so have no clue how close it is to the original. You'd have to tell me based on the above. I will state that while it is far from stellar, lots of pretty 20-30somethings playing teens. It is compelling and the actor playing Jed is fun to watch. But he always has been.
It's basically what Agents of Shield would have been like if Marvel still had the film and television rights to the X-men and didn't have to rely on themore facist less interesting Avengers.
If you like paranormal abilities and stories about people infilterating well-meaning but corrupt government organizations with sadistic tendencies - in order to overthrow them or at the very least keep them in check? This is for you. Also it too has a kick-ass female fighter, who can read minds - although she's not the core character. Unfortunately it's hunky Steven...who looks like a far more animated Wade from Agents of Shield.
Pilot? B-
