Warning: Spoilers
I tried. I really tried. I like many of the actors in this show. I watched all of season 1. I read the comics a while ago but I hardly remember them. I have no problem taking the show on it's own merits. So please believe me when I say it is incredibly boring. So dull. Bring a pillow for your pillow dull. They don't even runaway until the end of season 1.

So, I thought, maybe season 2 will be better. They've run away. Maybe there will be some interesting plotlines. I watched a few episodes. Nope. I can't keep giving this show hours of my life that it has not earned.

It took me some time, but I know what the problem with this show is. There is not even an ounce of humor. It is excruciatingly dour. That is poor writing. It makes the show tonally flat and painful to watch. Lighten up. I know that teenage angst sells, but come on. Add a little humor. Even the campy CW teen dramas add a little humor. This is Marvel, not DC.
