Marvel's Inhumans Premiere: 8 Ups And 3 Downs From 'The First Chapter'
10. Action Scenes Are Hit Or Miss

In regards to the fighting choreography, Inhumans is nowhere near as good as say, Daredevil for instance. However, it's also not nearly as bad as the choreography from Iron Fist. In turn, the action in this show thus far gets sort of lost in a gray area of mediocrity.
Some of the action is fine, such as Medusa's scuffle with Auran in the parking lot and Black Bolt's encounter with the police, but apart from these exceptions, the fighting in Inhumans is fairly unremarkable.
For example, Karnak's fight with the guards is admittedly pretty cool as well, but only because it shows an interesting use of his powers and not because the hand-to-hand combat is anything special. In fact, it's about as safe and simplistic as you can get without being outright boring.
The big problem here is inconsistency, as the show proves it can put a good action sequence together, but largely just doesn't.
