Mutant X takes the useful SF trope of the mutant minority persecuted by the state and adds potentially interesting spins on which it rarely delivers. After a couple of pilot episodes that pushed into OTT visual stylishness, the show has settled into mildly repetitive though watchable blandness: for the most part it avoids story arcs and a large cast of regulars in favour of plugging its characters into the stock plots of television SF, such as doubles, vengeance crusades and untrustworthy lovers.
On the DVD: Mutant X Series 1, Volume 2 contains the following episodes: "The Meaning of Death". A plague that kills mutants forces Adam to work with Mason Eckhart and the invulnerable mercenary Marlowe in the knowledge that any cure he comes up with will lead to a double-cross. "Lit Fuse". Brennan is attracted to energy-absorbing Ashley, who is being set up for betrayal by bounty-hunter Cross. When she absorbs Brennan, things get really complicated. "In the Presence of Mine Enemies". Jesse's hacker girlfriend Toni is forced by Eckhart to betray Adam's hideout Sanctuary and the computerised journalist Proxy Blue. Can the tables be turned? "Crime of the New Century". Youthful mutant firestarter Joshua is kidnapped, rescued and then turned over to the GSA by a renegade FBI agent. "Dark Star Rising". The survivors of a commando team have been altered into mutancy by scientists and want vengeance for their dead squad members. Mutant X helps them stop Eckhart getting the secret serum. The DVDs also contain trailers, a feature on the elaborate stunts and interviews with stunt coordinator Paul Rapovski, show runner Howard Chaykin and Victor Webster (Brennan). --Roz Kaveney

This season just keeps getting better, they could put more episodes on each volume but at least you don't have to watch the whole season to know whats happening.

Mutant X is one of the many new sci-fi series coming out of America, and it is one of the best. It tells the story of a group of ‘New Mutants’ fighting against a government agency who wish to carry out experiments on them. It is action packed with spectacular fight sequences, the acting is good and Eckhart is one of the most sinister looking bad guys I have seen in a long time. The one problem is that the stories can be a bit two dimensional and simple, but with these pulse racing stunts and special effects who needs a in depth story line. It is an amazing show which I enjoyed watching a lot, it is well worth seeing, especially if you are a fan of the X-Men.

This is a good purchase for those who don't already own the single season sets. Except for the tin box there's nothing too special about this limited edition. I wasn't surprised to find the tin was dented when it arrived. This wasn't due to shipping but poor quality control. The tin is thin and cheap but should hold up to normal handling. I'm still watching the first season and there doesn't seem to be any language or subtitle options. Picture and sound quality are great and it does include some extras. Overall a solid buy.

A simple pleasant children's show
It's a shame these DVDs have a 15 rating as the content would suit the 10-13 year old range.

Much better shows out there
Mutant X. To sum it up, a badly acted mutant style drama, trying to coin in on the recent surge of all things superhero based. Read more
