It’s safe to say that Freeform’s upcomingCloak & Daggerseries hasn’t exactly been met with the usual level of fan-gasmic anticipation as other Marvel TV series. Likely due to the fact that it’s being developed by Freeform, a channel that, up to this point, has not had a spectacular track record when it comes to quality content (see: literally any Freeform show); however, if we’ve learned anything lately, it’s that quality TV can come fromanyavenue.
With that said, theCloak & Daggerpilot screened at SXSW this weekend, and, shockingly enough, is being very well received on Twitter.
Initial reactions are praising the maturity of the content and chemistry of its leads. Yes, again, this is a Freeform show…who knew?
Have a look at the initial reactions below:
I’ll have more thoughts on the premiere episode of Marvel’s#CloakAndDaggerup on the site soon, but let me just say this: the two young leads are immensely good. They’ll be the reason the watch.

#CloakAndDaggeris a really smart, mature, visually accomplished Marvel show, and I can’t wait to watch more. Super fun having Jeph Loeb on another YA superhero show#sxsw

While@koertheousand I enjoyed the premiere of#CloakAndDaggerand the two stars gave compelling performances that deserve praise, it was hard to get over the 5:10 start time when app said @ 4 and people were in line at 3 ?? people left panels to be on time & were pretty upsetpic.twitter.com/Fennm60mYo

The#CloakAndDaggerfirst episode was a solid, promising start. That said, there’s nothing very new or different on display. If you like the current Marvel tv offerings, you’ll likely enjoy this.pic.twitter.com/e728sN2RA1

So, there you have it – near unanimous praise. Color me intrigued…
