MARVEL'S RUNAWAYS
November 21, 2017  | By David Bianculli

Hulu, 3:00 a.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: The first three episodes of Season 1 are available to stream today on Hulu, as the service adds to the constellation of TV dramas from the Marvel Universe. Like several others, most specifically Fox’s The Gifted, this new series is, in part, about young teens just discovering and coming to terms with their paranormal powers. But where, in The Gifted, as the parents learn of their children’s abilities, they band together as a family, Runaways pits one generation against the other. The parents, it turns out, are members of a secret organization with seemingly nefarious goals – and it’s up to the kids to rebel against them, in more ways than one. The first three episodes do little more than lay out the conflicts and characters, but even with a slow rollout, Marvel’s Runaways is a galactic leap forward from, say, ABC’s Marvel’s The Inhumans. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
