Listen, I'm going to watch all 8 episodes of Marvel's Inhumans. It's been terrible, but it's going to be cannon and so it matters. The really bad part about it all is that this show had 'so much potential'. The writers and whoever decided to RUSH this series did it a huge disservice. Look at this terrible acting in this 'reunion' that happens near the end of Episode 5.
Rather than spending time on showing us Black Bolt and Medusa taking on the people Gorgon and Carnac were on the run from, they spend that time on an 'emotional scene' with one woman who's been shot, and limps away? Then they spend more time, on yet another minor character who didn't know she had been shot for a full 2 minutes ....
All so they can set up the 'final drama' of finding the Other Royal family member.
She's off with 'Dave' and is showing him what her 'dog' can do. Naturally the pet whisperer who came out of no where, and is the ex-girlfriend of Dave does not believe the dog can teleport. Mind you she's working on a huge Dog she's never seen before. She has been arguing since she showed up on the show, and has been a horrible addition to the 'story' ...
Again, why is she even in this scene?
Is it so we can all say OMG when she does? This is beyond stupid, because we've already seen the dog teleport several times in the first 4 episodes. The way they eat up screen time with useless nonsense is CW level, DC comics television.
The people at Marvel should be ashamed. Perhaps it's really my fault though. People like me who will 'watch anyway' give them the leeway to make crap that they KNOW people are going to watch. Maybe I should skip the last 3 shows, just to show them who's really boss ....
Marvel's Inhumans continues to be really bad, 5 episodes in. I don't see it getting better as it concludes.

The "royal family" protagonists on this show are really unlikable. They apparently have been ruling over an unjust and repressive society and are only now, five episodes into the show, beginning to realize that. And they have caused a lot of trouble for the earth people they have run into, even though these people seem to be have been forced by the plot to be aggressively helpful to the Inhumans. I don't have any background from the comics but from the show it's hard to understand why the show is about them, they're not very heroic, they're not cool anti-heroes, and they're not engaged in any interesting drama.

Everything you said is true. Maximus almost really does look like the good guy of the show, who they're trying too hard to paint as the bad guy. When, as you said, the Royal Family is ruling over a Caste System? That isn't cool --- rather than Attilan being a sanctuary away from Humanity and the dangers we present - it sounds more like a prison ---- it's really bad. The mini-drama they've tried to create on earth has been bad. The scientist lady does not fit the story at all - nor did the Keanu Reeves look a like doctor. The people chasing the family come off as misfits, rather than people with extraordinary abilities. It's just bad all the way around. I'm sorry as a fan of Marvel, that they gave us all this crap to watch.

Hollyweird has a SERIOUS failure of imagination.
'Agents of Shield' was bad enough..this sounds worse.

I'm actually a huge fan of Agents of Shield. They took the time to develop the characters in Season 1, and so it has made seasons 2-4 pretty amazing to watch, as they constantly shock and surprise us. That isn't the case with Inhumans; It is painfully predictable - there are no surprises, no plot twists. The acting has been below par, and the writing for the show has been a pure display of what lack of imagination looks like ---
