The Imperfects

As with all genre productions that work really well, The Imperfects features some very interesting characters. In fact, the entire storyline is character-driven which is exactly what makes it intriguing from the very first episode. Well, that and the fact that episode 1 really is very strong and lays out the perfect groundwork for many storylines.The story plays out in Seattle and this is a US and Canada co-production with a wonderfully diverse cast. Of course, most characters are played by actors that are in great shape and look like models, but at least they’re not all just generic white kids.The Imperfects Season 1 Download.

Actually, they’re not even kids. When I first saw the PR images from this Netflix series, I thought the core cast consisted of a group of teenagers. However, for the most part, we’re dealing with young adults. As in people who are in their early 20s.This makes for characters that have lives of their own and, as such, have more at stake than just being popular in High School… or not.From that very first strong episode, we learn that the main characters are young adults that suffer from a condition. Supposedly, this condition was treated when they were just kids and now they just need to take their little blue pills, and they’re fine.

Well, until they run out of said blue pills and the side effects start showing up. Side effects created by the experimental gene therapy they went through as kids. In other words, they’re turning into something along the lines of X-Men.To be specific, they turn into a Banshee, a Chupacabra (not a werewolf), and a Succubus. Unfortunately, these very specific side effects really wreak havoc on the lives of the people they happen to. For example, the succubus is Ace [Asexual] so it’s extra difficult to have everyone feeling extremely attracted to her. And the Banshee is a singer. Yikes!
