In a time where we are inundated with superhero shows that dare to be different, here's another one.
Developed for Netflix by Steven S. DeKnight, Jupiter's Legacy is the superhero drama series based of the Image comic book series by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely. Sang Kyu Kim served as showrunner.
Luke and Jae check out this new series, which stars Josh Duhamel, Ben Daniels, Leslie Bibb, Elena Kampouris, Andrew Horton, Mike Wade, and Matt Lanter.
Shortly after his father's suicide in 1929, former businessman Sheldon Sampson creates a superhero team called the Union of Justice, and his guiding ideals – never kill anyone, never interfere in political matters – remain unchanged over the near-century of his adventures as The Utopian.
However, the next generation of superheroes, including his children, struggles to live up to his rigid ideals and high expectations. When Sheldon's son, Brandon, seemingly kills one of their greatest foes, it ignites a public debate over whether those ideals are still relevant.
