	Media	Author	Review
		Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 2 compromises strong characters with poor plot choices (...) [It] overcomplicates its strong premise"
		Alex McLevy AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: Big things are happening, and even if they’re not all of equal interest, it’s enough to keep 'Runaways' engaging (...) [It shows] a lack of consistency in characterization."
		Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"[2nd Season Review]: The season rolls along in a snappy but not especially comprehensible jumble. It’s not boring, but it’s not as gripping as it could be"
		Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Runaways' season 2 feels even more averse to taking storytelling risks than it was in season 1 (...) Little of what transpires carries any significant weight or threat of consequence"
		Laura Prudom IGN	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] feels a little like two stories crammed together that are often at odds (...) Luckily, the performances are so compelling on both sides, viewers will likely find enough to keep them engaged"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"A promising start for this comic book dramedy."
		Merrill Barr Forbes	"Fantastical is to be expected, but the weirdness of this show is next level for Marvel. And it's pretty fun."
		Maureen Ryan Variety	"In its opening episodes, 'Marvel’s Runaways' sketches out its story cleanly and with slick energy (...) The series lacks a narrative core around which it can reliably revolve."
		Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"The kids are all right, especially Barer. But (...) the adults are fascinating (...) There’s a deep vein of dark comedy here"
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"No one gets much time or, as of yet, much of a personality, with the exception of Ariela Barer and Allegra Acosta (...) 'Runaways' does evince the Savage-Schwartz sparkle"
		Gwen Ihnat AV Club	"'Runaways' is even better than fans could have hoped for (...) The beauty of the 'Runaways' concept is that many teens already think of their parents as evil supervillains"
		Kelly Lawler USA Today	"It’s a cheeky, splashy and addictive coming-of-age adventure that feels at once fresh and comfortingly familiar (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Jen Chaney Vulture	"[It] could easily suck you in on a lazy Saturday, but [it] doesn’t quite feel like a must-watch, at least not based on the first four episodes"
