Reviews & Thoughts
This was really good. Cloak & Dagger shares the gritty elements to the Marvel/Netlfix shows like Daredevil and Luke Cage yet retains loosely connections to the MCU. These two characters are basically a dynamic duo in crime fighting, true Avengers. It is a shame that the show got cancelled. But hopefully it isn't the last time we'll see the pair.
Good acting overall. Sometimes a little difficult to understand. Voodoo connection was cool. Storiesgot more dreary towards the end. Climax worked. 50/100
