So there's this show The Gifted, which is basically an X-Men show without the usual X-Men characters. I'm not sure that it's actually supposed to take place within any established timeline or anything, but it seems to have taken a path slightly similar to that seen in Logan; the X-Men, as an organization, no longer exists, and the government is cracking down on mutant activity harder than ever. It's almost like it takes place between the death of the X-Men and the start of the movie Logan (though, like I said, I don't think it's actually supposed to take place in that continuity; it just feels like a similar setup).
And the show is, surprisingly, pretty damn decent. You wouldn't entirely know it based on commercials and whatnot (where you'd probably get the impression that it's a way-too-serious drama with a cast of way-too-pretty actors), but the story is pretty fun so far, and the cast is all surprisingly likable. It doesn't debase itself to the point of literal comedy like most of Marvel's movies these days; rather, it hits that that great medium between being tense enough to take seriously, while also having enough of a lighthearted side to keep it enjoyable. One or two moments aside (which, I'll admit, are pretty bad), it actually avoids being all too cheesy as well, which it very well could have been.
For an old comic fan like me, it's nice to see characters like Thunderbird, Blink, and Polaris getting so much exposure too. Hopefully there are a lot more character cameos and whatnot to come, but for a main cast, it's really good so far. Also has some original characters as well, namely this guy Eclipse, the actor for whom kind of gives me a light Oscar Isaac kind of vibe (which is a very good thing, of course).
The show was created by Matt Nix, who created Burn Notice back in the day. So far it's got at least three actors from the cast of that show, so I'm sitting here now hoping we'll eventually see Jeffrey Donovan and Bruce Campbell at some point too. I'll totally lose my shit if something like that happens.
So with this show being as decent as it is, and with Legion being as batshit amazing as it was (can't say that enough), plus Logan and Deadpool and all that excellence going on... again, Fox is doing surprisingly well by the X-Men right now. Really nice to see. Even better, since certain other comicbook shows *cough*GothamSupergirlTheFlash*cough* are such absolute, utter shit.
