My Thoughts: This is a series I liked a lot when it originally aired... unfortunately it seems not many agreed with me since it was canceled after the first season. I have been a big fan of Julie Benz since her Buffy/Angel days (Darla). And she was of course also in Dexter as Rita as well. I also found I like Autumn Reeser as Stephanie's lab assistant/friend. She is someone I really didn't know until this series. I enjoyed all the episodes on this disc quite a bit... but my favorite episode would have to be the pilot with them first getting and discovering their powers.
My Rating: 4.5/5
