Look, Netflix took a swing here with a visually ambitious superhero show that mixes animation styles and tries to be all dark and psychological. Points for trying something different.
But here's the thing: a 5.1 on IMDb is brutal. That's 'most people turned it off' territory. The experimental format feels more gimmicky than genuinely innovative, and the dark-heroes-confronting-inner-demons premise has been done better elsewhere (see: The Boys, Watchmen).
This is rated 15+ for good reason—it's got mature violence and psychological darkness—but even older teens will likely find it boring or trying-too-hard-to-be-edgy. The 78% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is oddly high compared to IMDb, which suggests maybe a small devoted fanbase, but the overall consensus is clear: this is skippable.
If your teen is really into experimental media or superhero deconstruction, maybe they'll find something here. But there are so many better options in this space that actually deliver on their premise.
