Finally watched the Pilot. Loved it, one of the best Pilots I've ever watched.
I loved the family dynamic, it's so great to see such a loving and healthy fmaily, divorced parents who aren't petty and just care about their daughters and each other.

Unlike other superhero shows, this one kept the realism of peoples action REAL. It's in stark contrast to the other CW shows, & I like that. The racism that Jefferson experienced: all TOO real. How his daughters were treated by The 100: all TOO real. Except for the superhero action, I thought I was watching a full fledged drama, & I like that. It didn't feel as sci-fi, or cheesy, or OTT like some other shows (even though I like The Flash's cheesiness at times). Perhaps it may be a bit TOO gritty, but I think we need to get our head out of the clouds at times & face a hard dose of reality.

I loved how realistic it was. It was a bit more violent and gritty than what we're used to from other CW superhero shows but it works. Even some of the excessive use of his powers, the innocent bystanders that got in the way seemed fitting because he didn't use his powers for 9 years, so it's bound to be a bit out of control and they took his daughters.
The way they portrayed the school and different approaches to community/education/shaping young minds was also great and realistic.
Annisa is probably going to be my favourite, the way she flipped that boy.
