I don't like to start my videos on a negative note, but it is hard to deny that I came into these two episodes with pretty low expectations. This series has been interesting because, while the components for a great X-Men adaptation are all there, it just feels lacking.
That said, these were definitely the highlight so far. The second episode is probably the most amount of fun I've had watching this entire show. The galaxy-brained lunacy of this hellfire club adds a much needed element of levity and fun to the otherwise dreary proceedings. Not to mention, learning the answer to some of the mysteries (even if it they were already kinda obvious) provided a much needed sense of momentum.
I am cautiously-optimistic about next weeks finale. There's a chance they manage to bring the whole thing home.
