Jupiter’s Legacy

— “Jupiter’s Legacy” jumped back and forth between the first half of the 20th century and present day a bit more than I would have liked and the 3rd or 4th episode tried my patience, but overall it was pretty good. The past sequences are vaguely “origin” stories for current day superheroes who are getting on in years and need to turn things over to a younger generation, but the times have changed, values are different, and questions concerning what’s right, just, or fair keep surfacing as the old moral code seems to be crumbling. It's not a great series, but that didn't stop me from watching all 8 episodes. I wasn’t happy with the season’s conclusion and always prefer series that provide more answers than threads hanging.
