This story looks like one of those bedtime stories our parents used to tell us. Superhero children, with awesome powers, yet so normal, requiring love and affection, like any regular child. Moral lessons and consequences that befall them when they do something wrong… Well, this isn’t exactly the premise of the show, but at first sight, it’s what it most reminded me of.
You have this group of individuals, linked, connected as brothers, not by blood but by the craziness of their adoptive father instead. He took the children under his care and turned his house into some sort of boarding school for special kids. Give it a couple of years and you end up with a very dysfunctional family.
Despite the huge amount of fantasy, we can easily create empathy with the characters. They’re all very interesting and very different from one another, which makes us pay attention to all of their stories and they’re all pretty captivating.
Pogo is a very curious character from which you want to know more, and I hope we’ll be able too in a hypothetical second season, yet, my favorite is, without a doubt, Klaus. He’s a comedic, yet very dramatic and actually sad character, nonetheless always super fun to watch. I laughed hard with his antics throughout the show.
I found it to be a little too obvious for everyone that there might be some kind of special secret involving Vanya, from the very beginning, so, unfortunately, that element of surprise doesn’t really connect, but it doesn’t seem to take anyone’s interest off of the general story or finding out exactly what that ends up being.
I’m really hoping for a second season and the outcome of the siblings’ significant steps.
