Cloak and Dagger

[lathany]

We've just finished watching the first season of Cloak and Dagger which is part of the Marvel superhero range. It was OK, but not brilliant. I thought that the three leads were the best part of it - and that the policewoman was probably the best of the three. It's rather too slow moving, it's depressing and its narrative pieces and flashbacks are much less gripping than the show-writers think they are. On the other hand, it's an interesting premise, the season had a couple of strong episodes (the one on the rig / hospital was good) and, having finally got the origin story stuff out, may manage a better season two.
