Code 8

CriticsCritics: 65
AudienceAudience: 6.3

In a future city, people with extraordinary abilities face poverty, discrimination, and constant police surveillance. A construction worker with electrical powers turns to a criminal gang to pay for his ailing mother’s treatment, becoming caught between dangerous criminals and an increasingly militarized police force.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a modestly scaled blend of superpowered social drama and crime thriller, but Not for you if you need fresh world-building or consistently strong character development.
