Our Review
The MCU’s most infamous flop, the show that killed the Inhumans as a franchise. The Royal Family of Attilan: Black Bolt (a king whose whisper levels cities. Anson Mount doing solemn face acting under a terrible wig), Medusa (whose prehensile hair is her power, the show shaves her bald in episode one, removing the character’s defining ability for budget reasons, an all time self own), and Maximus (Iwan Rheon, Game of Thrones’ Ramsay, playing a revolutionary with none of the material he deserves). A coup sends them to Hawaii. Hawaii!
Everything is wrong: the production design (Attilan looks like a convention hall), the effects (poor Lockjaw the teleporting bulldog, the one good thing, budget permitting), the writing (the fish out-of water royal comedy that isn’t funny). Eight episodes of a project nobody believed in, from the era when Marvel Television and Marvel Studios were at war. The MCU’s Batman & Robin.
Verdict: Skip it, the textbook “watch this not that” entry. Watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s Inhuman arcs instead.
