It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Tobias Burrows
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Dana
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A very good watch. I liked it. Some superhero genres TV series. But concentration was more on it's character development and various complex emotional complexity which was impressive

This show is way too boring, there's just not much going on, characters are uninteresting, the story's dull. Honestly I can't think of any part of it I enjoyed.

This show is pretty good. I watched it with zero expectations. There's good character development unlike most shows and movies these days. The cast is full of good solid actors. The story so far is interesting. This first season felt like a good start to a show. It set the stage, introduced the characters, and introduced a story. Just like ALL tv shows should do. It didn't jump the gun and throw you into a crazy plot twist before getting to know what you were actually watching. (I don't want to spoil anything for new viewers)I read another review for this show talking about feminism and how this show was offensive, kind of made me think a bit. It made me think of the character and the show a little deeper than I intended. (It actually made me write this review) I'm no expert on such controversial topics, but I don't think this show is offensive at all. This show didn't make me think about feminism because this show has NOTHING to do with feminism. It's just about some girl who is already troubled, going through some more messed up stuff, with a little syfy twist. If anything, this show gave me a small insight to how tragically messed up that situation could be. (Again not going to spoil for new viewers) If it were me, I don't know how I'd react. I'd probably cry and want to die. And I'm sure you would to if it happened to you.The other reviewer also made me think about the writing of the show a little more than I wanted. What makes a character so interesting, is their constant battle with themselves. If the main character never had a moral dilemma to overcome, there wouldn't be much of a story to show. So maybe they were confused on good character development vs all female leads have to be superwoman.Anyway, I say give this show a try.

When I read that this is about a teen girl who can teleport I was sold, as a sci-fi fan I expected something light and fun. Impulse is anything but light and fun. It is dark, loaded with heavy emotions and generally showing the all the bad things that can happen to people. Main motive is not a girl who can teleport but a girl that got(almost) raped by her class mate which resulted in him being paraplegic, show follows her emotional distress mixed with teen anger and rebellion and a dash of comming of age. This branches out to families of both teens, their inner problems and struggles. Teleport motive is more of a metaphor than a key element. Despite good acting the teen dialog is rather weak, I really remember being more articulate when I was 16, broken sentences, use of swear words and studdering is a trade mark of a teen in this series. Lots of silence and emotional anguish moment in dark setting. This is not light watching.
