Mutant X - The Complete First Season

Why do the good shows like Mutant X get cancelled and the bad ones are like Energizer batteries??? The bad ones just keep going and going and going. Individual DVDs are how I first became a fan of this show. I bought the DVD with the first 5 episodes of season 2 on it. After I watched those 5 episodes I knew I wanted ALL of season one and ALL the season 2 DVDs that came out after that one. I got them. But I like box sets better. I already have this box set but one of the discs in it has a skip on it I can NOT get rid of. So I ordered another one of this box set. All the discs on it play just fine. I also have the box sets for seasons 2 and 3. I say this box set and the box sets for seasons 2 and 3 are worth the time, effort and money it takes to order them. If you don't believe me, see if a friend or a neighbor or a family member has this box set and would let you borrow it. I think if you watch it, you'll like it and will wanna order one for yourself. If you don't like it...oh well. *shrugs*

Had no problem's with this season packaging, unlike the 3rd season I got. Which the case packaging I didn't like. Guess there is 2 different style case packaging to this imported Mutant X series. Or could be just who I get it from. This one I got "Season 1" came in like the ones you see in US, the small cases, you see now a lot for tv shows. Unlike the 3rd season I got which you open up and there is 3 disc on each side, which for me when I opened it the disc fell out, and some are scratch. Anyways. Glad I got this even tho its imported, happy to have this series in hand. Just wish this one had widescreen like the US version ones had.

I remember this show was pretty good. I liked X-Men and, though some saw this as a rip off of that franchise, it still was something different. I kind of wished they'd made them natural mutants like in the Marvel universe. But then I suppose they wouldn't have had thier super bad villians Genomex.I was VERY excited to learn that this show was going to be released on dvd. That was until I found out they were releasing many dvds with a few episodes and a high price to each. That sucked. But now I just learned from tvshowsondvd.com that there was a boxed set coming out. Then I came here to Amazon and found it true! Yay! Only forty bucks for this set? THAT I can handle! As soon as I have some extra cash, this set will be mine!Not the best sci-fi show out there. But it wasn't the worst either. Sadly this show didn't come back for a fourth year. Maybe some other station will pick it up. Look at the shows Sci-Fi Network has picked up and made into hits. While I'm not a completely dedicated fan to this series (I didn't see every episode and, out of the three seasons I probably saw less than 10% of them) I still would like to see it continue.My main point is this: If you are a fan of X-Men or Fantastic Four or Avengers or Teen Titans or Justice League (or any other story where there are super powered humans and things of the like) this show is for you.

I can't compare "Mutant-X, The Series" with the comics, since I never read any of them, however I can relate it to the "X-Men" movies. The Series is, of course, a simpler tale concentrating on character interaction more than special effects and action. Although the Series does have good special effects and action scenes I found the characters more interesting, lacking the perscution-complex and revenge-rage of the movies. Being a fan of Victoria Pratt (Shalimar) I was delighted with her performace as always. Good science fiction, well presented. I think you will enjoy it, and maybe gain some insight into the X-Men.

Okay, so this is a review of the Canadian import of Mutant X season 1. As far as the transfer goes, everything looks good insofar as picture quality goes. If has both French & English, since it's a Canadian production of the DVDs. Was it a Canadian show to begin with? Not sure. Not interested enough to find out.So, it follows the misadventures of a group of "New Mutants" (were there "Old Mutants"?? Why aren't they just "mutants," period? One of many questions never answered over the course of the show) headed by an ex-member of GenomeX, a bio-technology company that twiddled with their genetics and accidentally gave them all super powers.And then there's another guy who is 'evil' and now runs GenomeX as his own private army including mutants and trying to track down and eradicate mutants or put them on ice for future use/testing/etc. Honestly, his acting is so ham-fistedly hammy during this season, he might as well be a cartoon character... It's pretty laughable. He unexplainedly disappears at the start of season 2, as does most reference to GenomeX, until the start of Season 3 where he makes a couple cameos before being summarily killed off. *Shrug*Really, the whole thing is a giant *shrug* for me. There's little or not overarching story. It's a freak-of-the-week story format. New Mutant with wacky powers shows up and either gets converted to the good guys never to be heard from again or gets offed and is never heard from again. There are no sub-plots, no story arcs, just a bunch of random weekly vignettes... Everyone learns some lesson or another 'bout, you guessed it, 'teamwork' 'trust your friends' 'don't take things out of context,' all the sappy nonsense you'd get out of your typical 80's/90's cartoon series, only... 'Live action.' The action is pretty hammy too. It's the kind of cartoonish action you'd see in Charmed or Buffy. Only without the interesting storylines and ongoing drama.It doesn't feel like there's ever any character development either. We don't see the characters learn or grow at all throughout the first season, heck hardly even throughout the series.I was really hoping for more from this show. At least they got rid of some smidge of the hamminess for season 2. But the freak-of-the-week character never really went away and there was still no overarching story. By the time they were vaguely trying to START a story at the end of season 3 it was too late and the show was cancelled on something of a cliff-hanger... Kind of a shame. If they'd made a 4th season it vaguely looked like it MIGHT have started to get interesting? Ohh well.Honestly, other shows have done better by the teenage crowd looking for their episodic drama: Roswell, Buffy, Angel, Charmed, etc. Mutant X I had high hopes for. I was really hoping for something more X-men like, since it was supposedly from Marvel Studios. The end product was pretty so-so. Sorry guys. Better luck next time.

Compléter ma série

This is one of the better superhero shows I've seen. The characters each have unique lifestyles and interests as well as strengths and weaknesses which hold the attention of the viewer.

Great series for Sf fans who like serious Science Fiction, lots of fight sequences, and techno style music which is great to exercise to while you watch the action. There aré mutants out there with śuper-human powers as a result of botched medical experimentation. An obscure govt agency wants to round them up to exploit for their own purposes but there is a mutant underground which tries to help mutants retain their freedom. Our guys are on the side of the rebels. Great stuff!

Sie mögen X-Men? Das heißt nicht das Sie Mutant X mögen! Ich schaute mir die erste Folge an und musste dann erst einmal eine Woche verdauen. Es ist anders! Mittlerweile habe ich mich an die Personen gewöhnt. Der Böse wird auch gerne mal humoristisch durch den Kakao gezogen, was sehr amüsant ist. Die Actionszenen werden viel und aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln gezeigt. Das ist manchmal etwas viel des Guten und man fragt sich wann die Stunde denn vorbei ist. Ab der 2ten DVD hab ich die Characktere zu mögen gelernt und freue mich schon auf die nächste Staffel, die ich mir bald zulegen werde. Ist aber wirklich nur was für hardcore Freunde des Genres!

Amazing and explosive it keeps u wanting to watch episode after episode all in one day.thoroughly enjoyed this series one of the best out the there
