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 3 contains the following episodes: "A Whiter Shade of Pale". Adam's invisible ex-lover Danielle needs stabilising by a gene resequencer which has been stolen from him by Eckhart's agents. "Double Vision". New mutant Maddie splits Emma into two--one Emma is completely ruthless and prepared to destroy Eckhart and the GSA at huge cost in life. "Blood Ties". Jesse meets his father again and is recruited by him to a vengeance crusade that may be a cover for industrial espionage. "Altered Ego". A mutant's power changes Adam into a ruthless villain determined to destroy his friends. The DVDs also contain trailers, a file on Genomex, interviews with the makeup artists and with Lauren Lee Smith (Emma). --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.

This DVD box set features five episodes and a number of extras including interviews with Victoria Pratt (Shalimar Fox) and Karen Wookey (supervising producer). It also includes episode trailers and general trailers for the show. The menu at first appears a little complicated but it is actually quite simple to use.
The episodes featured are "The Shock Of The New", "I Scream The Body Electric", "Russian Roulette", "Fool For Love" and "Kilohertz".
This box set is worth buying for the interview with Victoria (Shalimar) alone, she is incredible in this! The only downside is how the camera fades in and out so we don't actually get to hear the interviewers questions, we just have to guess what was asked from Vitctoria's responses. Nevertheless it is wonderful, Victoria is very at ease and very honest, and lets a few things slip about season two, as does Karen when she is explaining some of the differences between the two seasons, the interaction between Victoria and Victor (Brennan) at the end are also fun.
All fans of Mutant X will love this!

Daughters comment:
This is the best series ever made! Its better than the X-Men as it shows better superpowers. The actors are amazingly talented for their age. I wish there was a Season 4. It covers all types of story plots from 'the thing' to 'zombies' etc. The story plots keep you on your toes and the cliff hangers are exceptional!
Overall, a must buy for Marvel Comics Fans or DC Comics fans as the action is better than them all!

Personally one of the best DVD boxsets, I won't spoil the episodes. But if you want to see Emma "doubled",Jessie's dad, Adam's dark half, and invisible mutants, then buy this boxset. There is also an extensive interview with Lauren Lee-Smith included.

Watched the start of the first season on tv but always forgot about it afterwards as someone was watching something else. So I was glad that I could watch it all. well packaged.

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.

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
