Yes, Cloak and Dagger is different. It does not have the usual origin story, instead the viewers are discovering what happened, how and why at the same pace as the characters. So, it's going to feel slow to some people.
I appreciate the character dynamics and how they work against cliches. The black teen has a great family, goes to a private school, and is socially reserved. The blonde teen struggles with her family situation and is a con artist. And I really appreciate that it appears that they will have a close relationship, but not romantic. Instead, he is interested in a black schoolmate and she is interested in him.
While the main narrative develops, issues of bias, white privilege, corporate corruption, and many other current issues are entwined in the stories. The main actors are very good and the supporting cast are good as well. I'm hooked and eager to see where this goes. (I believe the show differs somewhat from the comics.)
