SEASON PREMIERE: To begin Season 2, The Gifted starts with a realignment of the power structure within the fugitive mutant community – then jumps forward in time six months, to explore the effects of that change in leadership. Season 1 of The Gifted was one of the better new sci-fi shows probing the minority-treatment theme by looking at human’s wariness of mutants – a theme even more timely as we begin Season 2.
