4.0 out of 5 stars
Ambitious...,
By tvguy (FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mutant X - Season 2 Discs 1-2 (DVD)
This is one show that I somehow miss on tv, but decided to pick up on a whim. The production values seem quite high for this series; the cinamatographic scope rivals that of Buffy or Alias, and the action sequences are equally surprizing, even outdoing the work of Whedon (sorry, Joss!).
It is, however, in the storyline where Mutant X comes up short. It lacks witty banter and plot points which could surprize instead are spelled out for the viewer. My understanding is that this series has had trouble with Fox because of its similarities to the X-Men franchize (they're both even sponsored by Marvel!), so the set-up with Adam feels a little more forced than simply being born with a mutation. The series, however, still deserves a look-see for the curious television fan who doesn't have the time to research syndicated listings.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Mutant Ex,
By Amaranth "music fan" (Northern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mutant X - Season 2 Discs 1-2 (DVD)
"Mutant X" is guilty pleasure TV. It's a cheesy homage to the X-Men, with Adam, a professor, leading&protecting a group of mutants. It's pretty formulaic, plot-wise. The mutants must conceal their identities. There's Shalimar,the drama queen who has feline powers. There's plenty of action, paper-thin plots. It's X-Men without the identity questions (and politics)
While "X-Men" uses the superheroes' otherness as a metaphor for repressed minorities (such as gays and the handicapped),Mutant X is content with having the superheroes conquer evil every week with plenty of fistfights and explosions. Unfortunately,"Mutant X" isn't a reference to mutant exes. Still,"Mutant X" succeeds as campy fun.

Glad it was cancelled,
By Joe Mac Guy "NA" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mutant X - Season 2 Discs 1-2 (DVD)
I am glad this series is no longer avaibale for purchase. No one watched it when it was on and it was terribly made.
