EPISODES 1.01-1.08 You’d have thought the double whammy of Watchmen and The Boys would have been TV’s last word in deconstructing superhero mythology. Any new show aiming to put an edgy spin on the cape ’n’ cowl brigade had better be sure it has something major to add to the conversation, or it could end up looking like a pale imitation.

To be fair, Jupiter’s Legacy, based on the Mark Miller comic, does have something new to say; it just seems weirdly keen on disguising the fact.
