The reason I did not rate the show a one star, because the actors seemed to try to do their best with what was given to them. So, why the low rating? It is the idiocy of the characters and the actions they perform. The Stephanie, after finding out about her abilities, she decides to tell her assistant, which she rarely speaks with. The assistant was surprised that Stephanie acknowledged her, then confided in her. That is the person Stephanie decides to tell. Then, Stephanie forbids her husband, Jim from using his abilities, then she uses them herself and is angered when Jim confronts her. She also likes to criticize Jim for not spending time with the family, while she is rarely around, which other moms in the neighborhood criticize her for it. As for Jim, he decides to use his abilities to fight crime, but it take him a while to realize that he needs to hide his identity. He did not have to read comics to know that criminals knowing his identity may bring his family harm. Also, he knows his daughter is able to read minds, but decides to lie to her. As for the teenage kids, I give them a pass because they are teenagers, and if the parents are stupid, it is not surprising the kids will be as well.

Bit of a spoiler here for those who haven't watched the show yet and plan too but i'm confused and maybe I missed something so hopefully someone can help me out. I thought that Katies new boyfriend "Will" or "Joshua", came to Chiles house and made him OD on some sort of pills. But the last episode I watched, Katie goes into his office as a distraction so that Stephanie can quickly grab his key card. I was so confused since from what I last remembered from the previous episode, he died. So did I miss something or what? Any help would be appreciated Thanks:)-PS. Really enjoying the show so far, wish it didn't have to get cancelled

I started watching this show ignoring the small questions that started being raised, like if there is a lake in South America that endows people submerged in its waters with super powers, why is there no super village of indigenous people? The final knife in the heart was the genuine stupidity of all of the characters. The father has super strength, invulnerability and he can jump a quarter mile at a time. His character is by far the most genuine, kind and responsible with his powers, however, he is horribly aloof in combat and puts himself in positions that he easily could rectify with the same powers, but somehow never thinks of it. The mother can run fast, just upwards of 750 MPH. She is a horrible woman, habitually neglects her family and then badgers the father about not spending time with the family. A couple of times the father pointed out that the mother is even worse with the neglect and she retorts saying things like, 'Well, I have a career.' How many times can the pot call the kettle black? Watch this show to find out. Also, even though she runs 750 MPH or so, she somehow avoids breaking the sound barrier, and her hair and clothing are always flawless. Many times when she is running, her hair will fly forward as if she is standing in a windy area, not running forward. She uses her powers constantly in front of other people, yet somehow, no one seems to notice. She runs to work, leaving the car, runs around the house, runs down the freeway, runs across the Mexican border. Later in the show, she will sometimes break the sound barrier, and also leave a trail of flame in her wake, but still no one seems to notice her. Also, inexplicably, sometimes when she is running indoors, it will whip things around with the wind turbulence she is creating and other times, she creates no turbulence whatsoever. The boy has super intelligence, and the only catch given is that he can only remember things he learns for 6 hours at a time. This rule is broken on a regular basis, furthermore, he inexplicably is able to perform complex tasks that are a result of knowledge learned, not intelligence. For example, the kid, having no prior experience in any of these fields, is able to computer hack, decrypt encoded files manually, alter grades in the school computer, become a star quarterback, a pool hustler and a classic car mechanic without ever learning any of it. His vocabulary explodes over night and it's like every technical skill imaginable is already learned. Someone must have pointed that out because mid way through the season, he has to start reading textbooks to perform such technical feats with the rule of only having the new abilities for 6 hours. He also stops playing sports and thereby excelling at them as if there was no talent involved, only math. The girl on the show is a mind reader and takes full advantage of her power by constantly reading the minds of those around her. She misuses her abilities by habitually meddling in other people's lives and using them, across multiple episodes, in order to seduce a boy. She pretends to be an art prodigy by reading the mind of her brother while he is reading an art textbook. Every time she uses her powers to try to 'Help' someone, it ends poorly 100% of the time, but she never stops doing it. This show is full of selfish, immoral, bickering people and plot holes big enough to drive a truck through. Please, if you like super heroes or value consistency, stay far away from this nightmare flop.

I watched a few episodes of this show today, and I wasn't impressed. I mean, It's pretty sad when you have to copy your story concept from a Disney Pixar movie (The Incredibles). I honestly don't see the difference between that, and this show except that the Incredibles was much better. The characters had no chemistry with each other, it was if they were simply reading their lines without putting any emotion or feeling into them.The plot was predictable, and it wasn't interesting at all.The character of Daphne (The daughter) was whiny, dumb and unlikeable. The Mom's character was pretty boring, as well was the other family members. If you have any good taste whatsoever, don't watch this show.
