The sides of Impulse

  • A teenage girl who teleports when she panics

Impulse is good for you if…

  • you like a teenager growing up angry and alone in a new town.
  • you like a prickly mother and daughter learning to lean on each other.
  • you care more about Henry's trauma than her powers.

Impulse is bad for you if…

  • you can't watch a story built around a sexual assault.
  • you want superhero fights rather than a slow teen drama.
