Cleverman is unlike any other TV miniseries you've seen before. The gritty Australian production uses a sci-fi backdrop to test notions of racial identity and integration with a twist of supernatural terror.

Cleverman has a rough immediacy in its pacing and cinematography that helps to make up for its deficiencies elsewhere, and if you have an appetite for sci-fi conspiracy thrillers, it's worth sampling.

Despite its shaky themes, Cleverman is still a quality sci-fi drama fit for both aficionados and newbies of the genre. It may rest in familiar supernatural tropes, but its original take on Australian culture will grab American attention.

Like WGN America's Underground, about a group of runaway slaves on a Georgia plantation, Cleverman pours an underdog minority tale into the superhero mold.

The multiple, long arcs become legible, and sort themselves out satisfactorily in the end, if not in any way surprisingly.

It doesn't quite manage to be the show it wants to be, but you have to admire the intention that clearly exists to be something different.

Cleverman is clever in many senses: it's thought-provoking near-future science fiction delivered through pacy storytelling with an indigenous twist, but it's also witty as well as bittersweet.

Unfortunately, the first season of Cleverman is too busy building a world to tell a story. It's a familiar trap for genre shows.

It's at the very least, a fairly interesting premise and just compelling enough to keep one watching, especially with the limited pickings during the summer months.

In an age of television (and film) where those qualities are sorely lacking, especially in the superhero genre, Cleverman isn't just refreshingly original, it's groundbreaking.
