Very well made, felt a lot more like a drama than a documentary.

This rating of 10 that i've given is solely for the first season (ie the first 6 episodes) from when i first watched it. The second season (the second batch of 6 episodes) is kind of like a wrap up, giving everyone closure, and detailing bob's 2nd murder trial.

The first 6 episode is one set, you have to watch them all in order to appreciate the finale (episode 6). Events in episodes 7 to 12 took place some years later.

They dropped one bombshell in episode 6, and another somewhere in the middle of the season season. Those evidence were irrefutable.

PS: if you find coincidental events stacking up one on top of the other, i'm telling you, they weren't coincidences.

You know why the original x-men was so great? Because the story was great, the writing was great, the characters were great, everything is just great. They were all unique individuals with their own personalities.

But this reboot, if you can even call a reboot has none of the above. The storytelling was horrendous. It's very fragmented, just bits and pieces here, and bits and pieces there. Everything just happened without rhyme and rhythm, episodes after episodes. They feel more like filler episodes than anything else.

What's equally as bad is there's no character development like at all. It's presumed that the audience already knew these characters. Problem is, looks aside, they hardly even feel like there're the same characters. They're like complete strangers living under one roof, with no friendship, kinship, structure, nor curriculum to tie or link them together.

I'd rather they make a fresh reboot than doing this because i don't enjoy this series one bit. 6/10 is already a high score from me.
