What TV To Watch

Runaways

Another Marvel property, this series follows a group of teenagers who have grown up together because their parents run a charity.  The kids soon learn that the “charity” involves killing people, and the kids unite against their parents – some of them developing powers or special skills along the way.  This show was good in that it didn’t paint the parents as one-dimensional villains – they had their reasons.  It also succeeds by subverting stereotypes – a refreshing change.
