The superhero series The Legacy of Jupiter has been released on Netflix. Initial reviews are controversial

On May 7, Netflix released a new series "Legacy of Jupiter" based on the comics of Mark Millar, also known for the series Kingsman, Kick-Ass and Wanted. All 8 episodes already available with Russian voice acting.

Jupiter's Legacy introduces multi-generational superheroes. Some of them began their exploits back in the 1930s. They have always defended people and fought against injustice, but their descendants, the new modern superheroes, are more concerned with fame and greed.

Josh Duhamel, Leslie Bibb, Ben Daniels, Andrew Horton and Elena Campouris starred in Legacy of Jupiter. The series has worked on Charlotte Brandstrom (The Witcher), Chris Byrne (American Gods), Mark Jobst (Daredevil) and Stephen S. DeKnight ("Spartacus: Gods of the Arena").

There have already been some reviews for the show on the web and they are quite controversial.

Wow, Jupiter's Legacy is a great new superhero show! Very impressed with the first episode!

I couldn't even make it through the first episode of Jupiter's Legacy. I kept having the feeling of when I watched Marvels "Inhumans".

I'm going to try again sometime but good lord this is awful. The heros move so slow it feels like a fan made movie on YouTube. #JupitersLegacy

I couldn't even watch the first episode of Legacy of Jupiter. I had the same feeling I had when watching Marvel's Supermen. I'm going to try again, but oh my god, this is awful. The characters move so slowly that they seem to be filmed by fans on YouTube.

Good 1st episode of Jupiter's Legacy @mrmarkmillar. Looking forward to watching more later or over the weekend.

Nice 1st episode of Jupiter's Legacy by Mark Millar. I look forward to watching even later or over the weekend.

Bon je viens de regarder le premier épisode de Jupiter's Legacy. Alors côté histoire j'accroche beaucoup mais les effets spéciaux c'est un peu cheap non? Je sais que c'est une série mais je m'attendais à mieux. #JupitersLegacy#utopian#ladyliberty#brainwave#Netflix

So I just watched the first episode of Legacy of Jupiter. As for the plot, I caught a lot, but the special effects are pretty cheap, aren't they? I understand that this is a series, but I expected more.

Jupiter's Legacy did raise an interesting question in the first episode: Does a superhero putting away bank robbers really make a positive difference in the world with issues as big and complex as they are today? Or is that ignoring modern society's true villains? #JupitersLegacy

I think Jupiter's Legacy has potential for growth if the series is renewed for a second season. In the first, as is often the case with Netflix shows, there was a feeling that over the course of eight episodes, he was simply setting the concept and introducing the characters.

The show did bring up an interesting question in the first episode: is it really a superhero, killing bank robbers, positively impacts a world with problems as big and complex as Today? Or is it ignoring the true villains of modern society?
