Critics Consensus

The Gifted continues to explore shades of grey, but with a more streamlined story that sets the show up for a stronger -- if slightly more simplistic -- sophomore season.

Entertainment Weekly

As it was last season, it looks like The Gifted is determined to paint its main conflict in shades of grey.

Most of the time, the damn thing moves in a way that makes semi-old-fashioned genre TV seem, if not hip, certainly palatable.

Rated: B-

One or two annoying characters or uncomfortable moments brought the series down a peg for me, but overall it was a really strong season, and it went out with a bang!

Rated: 4/5

Screen Rant

Holds up a broken mirror to the real-world and serves as a thought-provoking, cautionary tale in the best tradition of X-Men.

The mutants of The Gifted are on their own, free to chose a path toward peace or vengeance, or find something messier in between. There are many roads to revolution, but how many make for real change?

The interesting thing about The Gifted is that both sides of the mutant faction want the same thing. They just go about it in wildly different ways.

Rated: 3.5/5

The second season of The Gifted shows improvement, with a more focused main storyline and a suitable pace. Although there are some minor flaws in the plot design, overall, it is better than the previous season.

con mas acción y secuencias de enfrentamientos ,esta temporada pretende enfrentar el bien y el mal algo mas oscura con momentos donde se muestra la postura de cada lado humanos ,mutantes buenos y malos algo que puede llegar a ser confuso.

I don't like Reeva. She's not a very good villian. But it's still a good show.
