The lead bores me. I really wish he weren't supposed to be a high school kid. Everyone else in that picture is much more interesting. The lead was interesting for a small moment when it was hinted that he had more powers than the rest, but that's mostly been put aside for the episode of the week.
Also, I find it hard to have any real enjoyment with the show. We're 12 episodes in and when I look at our band of merry men, it's hard to see how they've won much. They have the Uncle's girlfriend and the new banshee (screaming) girl. But mostly, Ultra seems to be winning. Stephen's life has no real enjoyment, even with the ruse. Mom's dating a tomorrow person, and unless I nodded off, there was never even a conversation with him afterwards.
I'm still watching, but mostly because I like the Sci-Fi and Superhero genres. It's a 50/50 show for me at this point (in danger of being dropped from my viewing schedule).

Once again Astrid is blaming him when he tried to keep her out of it from the beginning and she was the one who followed him so she could figure out his secret.

Regarding of what demographic they are going for, it's still in their late twenty playing school most of the time. (not always)
