I myself am a teenager and I did not particularly like Runaways. I like the Marvel Netflix shows, but some of the teenagers are sulky for personal reasons that benefit the story, but everything is too melodramatic. The sulkiness translates to anger and they set up at least three separate love triangles, which is not a huge part of teenage life. They clearly set up for one of the girls to question her sexuality, but while it is great they are showing this, it detracts from the story. The Netflix shows get to plot right away and integrate love or motivations into the story so it is seamless. Runaways is slow on the draw, the first two episodes show the same day through the perspectives of the kids and the parents. I gave up quickly after that, but the best episodes of a season should be at the beginning in order to hook you in. The acting is not amazing, but that is entirely understandable from the teenagers. I did not like the parents' acting abilities. There is a central mystery, but the audience suspects that it has something to do with the parents somehow. I would not suggest this show for a few reasons. The show is far too slow, too many love triangles, and mediocre writing. Hulu is not in good shape if this is one of their most popular shows.

I think as someone who didnt read the comics i dont expect anything from the series, so from my perspective the series is interesting at the beggining, it was cool because the kids have somekind of power and unique things of their ow, kinda cliche.But, i just dont feel the character is well played, they can do better than that.
and too much drama going on.
