The Gifted - Season 2
Season two begins a half year after the events of Atlanta, and after Reeve Payge takes control of the Hellfire Club, Sentinel Services elevates its assaults on guessed mutants. Caitlin and Marcos go to a shady mutant software engineer to get information on Andy and Lorna's place, and Lorna's pregnancy shows up.

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

The birth of Lorna's baby and the chaos of bringing a new mutant into the world presented us with an interesting entry point for the season.

The concept of family is what's really going to define The Gifted over the coming months and, knowing this cast of characters, it's going to lead to a more than interesting season of television.

Some of the changes here are largely superficial and temporary.

The key, and what seems to be the way the Underground would go, would be to show humans that mutants are just like them. Show them there's no need to be afraid.

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 show immediately plants the seed that Lorna and Andy don't belong here, that they're not safe. Not truly. It's an easier story to tell, sure, one that has a built-in happy ending; it's just not a particularly nuanced one.

But for some reason, this time, seeing it all reflected in a mutant fiction feels unsettling. The story The Gifted is capable of telling is so close to reality that it makes me not want the diluted, fictional version anymore.

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

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.
