Fans have taken to social media to express their adoration for the show, with one fan enthusing: “I love the Misfits vibe of this show. Showing that superpowers are not always wonderful.”
Another eager fan commented: “One of the best new shows I’ve seen – binged season 1 and 2 in less than a 3 days. I highly recommend this amazing British sci-fi comedy.”
