This show is pretty much The Incredibles. There's no getting around that. The similarities sink deep into smaller aspects of both No Ordinary Family and The Incredibles. However, this show definitely shows promise. It seems to be veering off the obvious, previously mentioned comparison and hopefully it succeeds.
-This show needs to drop the documentary-style confessionals immediately. They're completely unnecessary, they're distracting, they make no sense (even after the end of the episode), they serve no purpose but to repeat what has already been said or say/explain something that could have easily been figured out without explanation, and the dialogue in these sections is pretty cringeworthy. Any why were they telling this to a marital counselor?
-Speaking of cringeworthy dialogue: "Brian and I haven't even gotten to do it yet!"
-The whole process of discovering the powers was very fun.
-The two adult leads are great (although I don't buy them as a couple yet) and the kids are alright (Pun ((is that even a pun)) not intended) but could use work.
-The first five or so minutes felt very rushed. Often is the case with pilots as they have a large amount of background to set up in so little time, but some pilots still manage to pull this off very well, like Raising Hope
8.5/10
