you should if you are fine with sub-par shows, i turned if off about 15 min in episode one when one of the character power was that he had hands/powers that are basically a flash light.
As we know now..It's way more than that..just like Dazzler's powers are way more than they first appear.

Greatness Knows No Limits in the soul of Magneto's Green Haired Princess Daughter
There may be no more interesting or pivotal character in The Gifted than Polaris, played by Emma Dumont. She's a founding member of the Mutant Underground, who teaches other mutants how to effectively use their powers and defends the group from Sentinel Services. All the while, she is pregnant. It seems that the character of Lorna Dane is defined by familial relationships, whether by choice or by blood. While she lacks any relationship to a very famous biological family member, her unseen father Magneto still remains vital to her character's development, according to the actor.

Her relationship with her father or lack thereof will be highlighted as the season progresses, she explains. “There’s a good chunk of the second half of the season that deals with Polaris and her family lineage and the repercussions of that," Dumont says in a phone interview in November. “Her sort of figuring out if she is a good guy or a bad guy. Just because she believes the same things as the person that is her father, what does that mean for her?”

Magneto looms large as an X-Men canon character. He doesn't believe that humans and mutants can co-exist, and wants to claim the world for his people. Polaris has never known her father, and as a result, lives in a place of hurt and heartbreak. Dumont says that her character has heard rumors and about how similar she is to him, yet has to deal with the fact that Magneto has actively chosen to remain uninvolved in her life

“There was a scene where it was written in that this group of bigots were using tiki torches," she says. "You know, which is a very specific reference to obviously current events.” (White supremacist protestors carried tiki torches during the August demonstration in Charlottesville.) The actor promises that the series is going to continue to address bigotry and prejudice against minorities, and that those themes will only intensify as the season progresses.

The actor also hints that Polaris will continue to struggle with good and evil, so who knows? Perhaps it was the X-Men who set Polaris on the path to founding the underground… or maybe the orders came from her dad. As her own powerful, independent person, Lorna Dane will have to decide just who she is going to be.
