• Introducing Invincible [7:41] 
• Baseline, non-spoilery reasons why Melvin and Daniel found Invincible so compelling 
• Invincible masterfully employs a brilliant hook to create pervasive suspense 
• Open, total-spoiler reasons why Invincible is so compelling 
• Each character and plotline are deeply rich and highly engaging 
• Amber, Mark’s girlfriend, is written really well and doesn’t get the usual “hero-girlfriend” treatment 
• Daniel, “…one of the best season finales of any show I’ve ever watched...” 
• How Invincible causes us to ponder the value of humanity in spite of humanity 
• A strong resolution with exciting implications for Season 2!
