	Media	Author	Review
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is one of the weakest and most forgettable entries in the busy genre. It’s a derivative bore, without even visual inspiration to compensate."
		David Griffin IGN	"[It] delivers plenty of exciting superhero action, compelling stories, and memorable characters."
		David Opie Digital Spy	"Everything included here has been done before on other shows, and for the most part, it's been done better (...) A show that feels as tired as these old heroes look (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"Once you gauge the characters, their powers, and individualistic traits, 'Jupiter’s Legacy' becomes engageable rather quickly (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"A mess of over-generalizations and jumbled storytelling (...) If it was just cheap fight scenes and goofy dialogue, 'Jupiter’s Legacy' might’ve been able to transition into enjoyable camp"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"For a series about superheroes, 'Jupiter's Legacy' moves in what feels like slow motion. The result is a Netflix drama that's impressive in its scope (...) but frustrating in its sluggish pacing"
		Sabrina Barr Metro	"It’s refreshing, engrossing and packs one mean punch – what more could you want? (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		David Craig Radio Times	"[It] is a little too squidgy and discoloured to recommend eating. It’s a great shame as the source material is perfectly sound, but this adaptation doesn’t do it a shred of justice (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		James McMahon NME	"What we have here is another small-screen comic book adaptation that brings its ideas as big as its heroes’ muscles (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"[It] gets off to a pretty good start with this opening episode, showcasing some great action and a good introduction to our characters (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Eoghan Cannon entertainment.ie	"On the whole, 'Jupiter's Legacy' isn't the knock-out series we were hoping for, but there are a few surprises along the way (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
