Given it's set in their highschool days, it does have more of that teen angst/story plot points for a few episodes but past that it sets a pretty cool story. S1 does the typical individual character background for each episode, but as it moves forward it starts branching into other things.Evolution the show I take it? Wasnt that crap?
Been a long time since I watched, but seeing Forge create a device that allows nightcrawler/wolverine to stay in the 'phantom zone' between where he teleports was a cool trip. The episodes leading up to / unleashing Apocalypse were well done, magneto being tricked into some things, the rogue/nightcrawler/mystique story development, juggernaut wrecking shit etc.
YMMV if you can get past the highschool atmosphere part of it.
