'The Gifted' is one of Marvel's better shows, and that includes any of their Netflix series. It follows the lives of mutants who are being persecuted for their powers. Just like Magento and Professor X, there are two sides. One that wishes for nonviolence, and another that has had enough. It's a classic X-Men/Marvel type of story, but delivered in a fresh way. Season two is guaranteed to be bigger and better than season one.
You should be able to jump into this season without too much trouble. If you're over Marvel shows, I get it. I can't blame you, but there are good ones and they are definitely worth watching. Binge watch season one on Hulu if you want to get caught up, or watch a recap on Youtube. Either way, you'll be happy with season two.
