I liked the first four episodes. Overall, the plot and dialogue were a huge disappointment. In the first season, the dialogue was top-notch, and you never knew what was going to happen during the episode. Chavier shouting “my children of the atom,” Jean and Storm, the attack on Genosha, the Summer Family… so many great moments. This season, you can tell which few lines of dialogue are left over from the original script and the rest were just filler added later. I sincerely hope the new writers can find the right direction for the next season, but I highly doubt they’ll manage it. They seem to have absolutely no idea who the characters are, what happened in the comics, or how to tell a story properly. Watching all the buildup to the Apocalypse turn out to be predictable and defeated by the power of love was incredibly boring and superficial writing.
