Marvel's Inhumans Premiere: 8 Ups And 3 Downs From 'The First Chapter'

As stated before, while things may have been dicey among the secondary and tertiary cast, the main players in Inhumans definitely bring their best to the table and the studio's trust in them was not misplaced.

Attilan's Royal family, Anson Mount (Black Bolt), Serinda Swan (Medusa), Ken Leung (Karnak), Eme Ikwuakor (Gorgon), Isabelle Cornish (Crystal), and Iwan Rheon (Maximus) are all fantastic, with the latter being the show's standout performer.

Mount is able to convey emotion and speak volumes about who his character is without ever speaking a word; Ikwuakor and Leung have great chemistry, in addition to performing well on their own; Swan's Medusa is elegant when she wants to be, but tough as nails when she needs to be; Cornish is similar in that regard, with her character being deceptively laid back; and Rheon captures Maximus' inferiority complex and empathy for the less-gifted Inhumans, like himself, perfectly, not to mention his fantastic stage presence.

Also, while technically not a main cast member, Sonya Balmores does a great job as Auran.

In The First Chapter alone, each of the primary cast members proved that they can not only work well as a group, but also on their own.
