Indeed, the popularity of superheroes -- costumed or otherwise -- hasn't been limited to only the big screen; and it was on this day back in 2022 that even the streaming giant Netflix took another stab at action hero history when they premiered The Imperfects as part of their line-up. Created by Shelley Eriksen and Dennis Heaton, the serial starred Italia Ricci, Morgan Taylor Campbell, Rhianna Jagpal, Inaki Godoy, Kyra Zagorsky, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the series' premise:
"After an experimental gene therapy turns them into monsters, three twenty-somethings band together to hunt down the scientist responsible and force him to make them human again."

On this day in 2022 (in a whole host of countries around the world), The Imperfects aired "Sarkov's Children." Officially, this served as the first episode in the program's only season in original broadcast existence.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"Tilda (Morgan Taylor Campbell), Juan (Iñaki Godoy), and Abbi (Rhianna Jagpal) are the titular imperfect test subjects of a genetic experiment. They start experiencing strange symptoms and turn to geneticist Dr. Alex Sarkov for help."
