The Imperfects is a Canadian superhero science fiction television series created by Dennis Heaton and Shelley Eriksen that premiered on Netflix on September 8, 2022.[1][2] Promoted as a "coming of rage" story (a pun on coming-of-age story), it follows three young adults pursuing the mad scientist who tampered with their DNA, resulting in disruptive superpowers.[3] In November 2022, the series was canceled after one season.[4]
Synopsis
Three Seattle-based adults, Abbi, a scientist, Juan, a comic book artist, and Tilda, a singer, are turned into monsters after undergoing an experimental gene therapy. The trio subsequently decides to hunt down the scientist responsible for their transformation, Dr. Alex Sarkov, and force him to make them human again. They are joined by Dr. Sydney Burke, a scientist who assists them in their quest.[1]
