Cloak and Dagger
Review-Cloak and Dagger, Episode 10, Colony Collapse
“Ultimately, “Colony Collapse” is so fast-paced and energetic that it’s a complete contrast to the entire season as a whole.”

“Cloak & Dagger has clearly positioned itself far removed from a run-of-the-mill superhero show.”
Review-Cloak and Dagger, Episode 1/ First Light
“Overall, Cloak & Dagger chooses substance and strong, complex characterization over everything else…”
