Inhumans (2017) creator credits

I had heard the 2017 Inhumans series was not very good, but I avoided judgement until I had seen for myself. Now I have and (phew!) it's pretty awful. Not as bad as the showrunner's other super hero series, Iron Fist, but one of the worst television adaptations of a Marvel Comics property, easily.

Sorry, Inhumans. You never wanted to be a major Marvel property! You were happiest when revelling in obscurity. Well, good news, it's back to obscurity for you!

The full list of my Marvel creator credits is here.
