I didn't know jack about her, so I bought the Alias series on which the show is based on. There is very little in common between the show and the comic, and I honestly enjoyed the comic more. That's a big thing for me, as I'm more of an MCU fan than an actual comics fan.

Even with all the changes, what unnerves me the most is how the show didn't even show her becoming a hero. Marvel... Marvel makes productions on heroes. That's exactly what we were led to believe about it, too. But that last scene of the finale (SPOILERS), she ignores several phone calls from people who clearly need her help, saying she hopes she can fool herself into believing she is one. I want more than that from these characters. I don't want to root for people who are that selfish; it's not even relatable.

There was a lot more that I didn't like, but that's what sealed the deal on my negative view of it. I'm gonna try to watch it again someday, but good God, they just ignored so much potential.
