Our Review
“Mutant X” offers an intriguing premise rooted in the dilemmas of genetic engineering. While it does borrow heavily from other superhero narratives, its character-driven stories and moral dilemmas offer a fresh perspective. The action sequences, paired with the team dynamics, make it an engaging watch. Although some visual effects may seem dated, the heart of the show is in its characters and their journey.
