The Imperfects is a new Netflix 10-part sci-fi series that follows three young adults pursuing the mad scientist who tampered with their DNA, resulting in superpowers that change the course of their lives.

Due to their DNA being affected they now have the powers of a banshee, chupacabra, and succubus, with the abilities of these legendary creatures causing complications for the three protagonists.

The series was created by The Order's Dennis Heaton and Shelley Eriksen and blends sci-fi, fantasy, action, drama, and horror. There's a lot going on, with a great cast attached to the project too, including some faces you may recognise.
