    Interesting. Looks pretty unique as far as superhero shows go.

    I like the Idea, but I hope that isn't what it's going to look like when it's finished. Reminds me of the movie Sleight. I'm rooting for everybody black.

    It's amazing Micheal B Jordan can't get any work after Creed.

    Maybe he's just very selective. A slightly different approach than Nicolas Cage.

    I don't know, man. He has had nothing since Creed and Fantastic 4 three years ago. That was a LONG time ago in Hollywood years.

    yeah I know. But that's pretty much it and that was green lit years ago. He hasn't had anything since they announced Black Panther.

    I'm all in . . .been tracking this for a while.
    Mike B seems to love to work with Coogler (Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther)

    I like it, but Netflix gave MBJ no money for this show.

    The child Acting is too rough
    The tone is too inconsistent
    The Writing/editting kind of did not handle the story as well as should have

    Still watching. It is a solid B- boarding on C+

    Yeah the kid sucks. It could be worse, I'll watch until the end, but it my take me awhile. B- to C+ is an accurate rating.

    I think @omgTHEpotential is right - he's just selective about what he wants to do. A quick glance at his wiki says that he's re-teaming with Coogler for a movie and is also starring in (and producing) another movie. He's also producing Raising Dion.

    Maybe he wants to branch out and be more behind-the-scenes / behind-the-camera?

    I was trying to figure out why Esmerelda had to E-NUN-CI-ATE everything so strongly

    They not better this season either. - The kids are for an overdose of CUTE to make up for the acting
    Good story but Dion is such a Gary Sue its unreal
    They are so . . . preachy and really trying to stuff alot of MESSAGEs into everything

    It's good for the kids to watch but adults will have to embrace the cringe, bad acting and overly hamfisted simplistic messages
