Fabian Wood gives us his recap for season one of Cloak and Dagger.

"Ultimately, “Colony Collapse” is so fast-paced and energetic that it’s a complete contrast to the entire season as a whole."

"If there were two words to summarize the feeling and tone of “Back Breaker” it would be hopelessness and futility, which are deliberate choices here."

"The greatest travesty of “Ghost Stories” is not in its execution, but rather it has taken painstakingly too long to get to this point."

"This may not be the team up we have been anticipating from this series’ inception, but the fact it happens at all is satisfactory enough."

"All in all, the way this series has developed to this point will leave most (comic book) viewers wondering when will we ever see “Cloak & Dagger” unite towards a shared purpose....."

"Lackluster best sums up “Princeton Offense”, from the dull, muted visual pallet of the entire episode, to the character performances and the plot itself."

"The power players in the Valiant Universe begin to move like chess pieces in the opening game, as lines are drawn between adversary and ally – whether through persuasion, coercion or force...."

"Outside of a mismanaged plot twist, this episode functions amicably in exploring these real-world psychological issues of trauma, guilt, grief and self-loathing..."

"Three episodes in and to say that Cloak & Dagger is unorthodox in their interpretation of this superhero property remains an understatement."
