The review embargo for Hulu's Helstromlifted Friday morning and just over a day later, the show's initial Rotten Tomatoesscore has surfaced. As of now, just six reviews have been submitted to the review aggregator and they're split right down the middle — three positive and three negative. That means using some simple calculus, one can figure out the Tomatometer is sitting at a divisive 50-percent.
It's far too early in the process for the site to provide its critic's consensus, but judging by the reviews submitted — those with a favorable view on the show praised it for its dark tone and character-driven plot while those with a dismissive review critiqued the show for its disconnection from the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Though more reviews are sure to come in, a 50-percent "Rotten" rating would put Helstromjust above Iron Fist(37-percent) and Inhumans(11-percent) towards the bottom of reviewed Marvel Television properties. Even with those properties, the TomatoMeter — a metric determined by professional critics — and the Audience Scores still don't quite match up. With Inhumans,the audience-given score hovers at a paltry 44-percent while Iron Fist'sAudience Score is much better, sitting at 72-percent.
"In another universe, the show's focus on shadowy magics and ugly family drama might make it one of Marvel's standouts, but here the series barely manages to make a strong argument in defense of its own existence," io9'sCharles Pulliam-Moore writes in his "Rotten" review.
Geeks of Color'sFerdosa Abdi was much more positive, suggesting the episodes available for review (the first five of ten) provide potential for Marvle's spookiest show yet. "The first five episodes are promising, laying the foundation of an interesting battle yet to take place between the siblings and their father. Hopefully, the final five episodes deliver on its promises," Abdi writes.
Written by Paul Zbyszewski, Helstromstars Tom Austen (Daimon Helstrom), Sydney Lemmon (Ana Helstrom), Elizabeth Marvel (Victoria Helstrom), Robert Wisdom (Caretaker), Ariana Guerra (Grabriella Rossetti), June Carryl (Dr. Louise Hastings), and Alain Uy (Chris Yen).
