The Gifted (S01E11) “3 X 1”
This week The Gifted returned to our tv screens after a short break for the holidays, and it certainly seems they writers have saved the best bits for the end of the season.

The Gifted (S01E07) “eXtreme measures”

The Gifted (S01E05) “boXed in”
This episode was frankly the best of the season thus far. The themes and character moments were high octane from start to finish, not wasting a minute in mediocrity.
