With the few shows on television that continue the story of mutants or Inhumans, The Gifted is a little ahead of the pack by combining some great actions sequences while telling a powerful tale of family. Where Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and Legion fall short, The Gifted shows a strong promise to be one of the must-watch shows of the expanded Marvel Universe.

Now if you have not seen an episode of The Gifted, you can catch up on the series as it is released today, September 25th on DVD at your local retailers. The first season has a lot of the things that you expect to see from the X-Men universe: Mutants, Sentinels, The HellFire Club, easter eggs to the X-Men and incredible action scenes.

Here is the official word from Fox about The Gifted:

The complete first season of The Gifted tells the emotional story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family seeks help from an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive.

Set within the “X-Men” universe, the series stars, Stephen Moyer (True Blood), Amy Acker (Suits), Natalie Alyn Lind (The Goldbergs) and Percy Hynes White (Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb) as the Strucker family. Also featured in the series are Sean Teale (Voltron) as Eclipse/Marcos Diaz; Jamie Chung (Gotham) as Blink/Clarice Fong; Emma Dumont (Pretty Little Liars) as Polaris/ Lorna Dane; Blair Redford (CSI) as Thunderbird/John Proudstar; and Coby Bell (The Game) as Sentinel Services Agent Jace Turner.
