The idea of waking up with superpowers on your birthday is not new, but still makes for some amusing moments. This is a light comedy-drama with scenes in home-school-urban settings.
The episodes are short, so it is easy to finish Season 1 in an evening. My first thought about this is "inconsistent." Some moments are funny, some stupid. Some sweet, some lame. Some action is good, some is juvenile. The musical rehearsals look embarrassing, but the final show is okay.
The story begins like it does not know where it is going, but it seems to gain some purpose around episode 3. The character definitions and dramatic elements become stronger as the show progresses.
The young lead actors are appealing and seem capable of doing more if given a stronger script. The target audience of young viewers should enjoy this. Adults will recognize the many cliches and have higher expectations. After all, a cliche was something new the first time you saw it.
