Invincible: Season 1

"Bewildering, but also exhilarating..."

"What both anchors and keeps Invincible compelling is its cast, packed to the brim with talent."

"That sense of familiarity doesn't necessarily undermine Invincible on its merits, but it does make the exercise unavoidably feel a bit been there, seen that."

"There's likely going to be at least some of part of Invincible that piques your interest."

"But both the jokes and the character beats that fuel Invincible are too sporadic to make the series feel anything more than sputtering. Unassailable, it is not."

"For now, it's found a neat balancing act that makes for a refreshing new take on superhero revisionism."

"Invincible recaptures what our current glut of superhero fiction largely loses sight of: the pleasure that superheroes must feel when wielding their powers."

"Its characters aren't developed enough to fill the enormous gap between approach and appearance. However, its central mystery offers enough questions, and enough promise, to keep viewers watching."

"It works and should satisfy fans of the comic, even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel."

"There are still some good bones to its premise, and just enough subversiveness to let you ignore the fact this is a story you've seen a hundred times before."
