OK so I saw Freefare or whatever the channel name is on my tv lineup and it looks like they're going for the pre-teen/teen crowd a la the WB. I'm not their target market, but I guess I'll watch the first episode and see hot it goes.

Not a fan of JL, but that would work on nearly every level. Great call.

First Trailer for Marvel's CLOAK & DAGGER on Freeform

 


Looks like some ascended CW shit... which makes sense, because of the premise and source material.
 
I don't like it at all.

The story, the visuals, the production value, the characters.. I smell teen drama.

I'll still watch a few eps to see whats what if I'm being honest/
 
Seemz a bit too teeny bopperish to me... but I got more interested when they started showing the mystical stuff happening.

If I do give it a chance it will be once a few seasons are up & I can binge watch them.
 
damn, I don't know why but I expected this to take a much more darker/grim angle.
