…that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities, or so the quote goes. The Gifted season 2 (series?) finale, titled “oMens,” examines those choices as sacrifices are made and not so subtle messages about our current political landscape…
‘The Gifted’ 2×15 Review: Too Far To Give Up Now
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” I thought it better to start with a quote, especially one that pretty much encapsulates everything “Monsters” is, everything this season has been, than to…
‘The Gifted’ 2×14 Review: The Definition of Insanity
My issue with The Gifted is this, and it’s always been the same. When this show is firing on all cylinders, it’s amazing, the kind of show you wish you could binge because you don’t want to stop watching, you…
‘The Gifted’ 2×13 Review: Together

‘The Gifted’ 2×09 Review: Is It Worth It?
It won’t surprise anyone to hear that The Gifted‘s mid-season finale, titled “gaMe changer,” explored the duality between being ‘normal’ and being, well ‘gifted,’ as it dabbled in the same philosophical discussion that has sustained years and years of the X-Men/Brotherhood…
‘The Gifted’ 2×07 Review: What’s The Line?
It was just a matter of time. The Gifted was always heading here. And it was always going to hurt when this day finally came. It was always going to be brutal. Because the truth of the matter is that…
‘The Gifted’ 2×05 Review: Only Love
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that” Doctor King said, and though real life surely has many more instances that reinforce this message, “iMprint” does a great…
