Mutant X takes the useful SF trope of the mutant minority persecuted by the state & adds potentially interesting spins on which it rarely delivers. After a couple of pilot episodes that pushed into OTT visual stylishness, the show has settled into mildly repetitive though watchable blandness: for the most part it avoids story arcs & a large cast of regulars in favour of plugging its characters into the stock plots of television SF, such as doubles, vengeance crusades & untrustworthy lovers.

Forbes March is a Canadian actor. Although born in Bristol, South West England he was raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Originally a model, he attended the Lee Strasberg Acting Institute on a full scholarship. His first big acting role was winning the part of Scott Chandler on the popular ABC soap opera All My Children in 1999. Head writer Agnes Nixon paired him with new character Becca Tyree ; however the pairing proved lukewarm compaired to an alternative triangle between Becca, Leo duPres & Greenlee Smythe. March exited the show in 2000. He again worked with Abigale Spencer in the independent film Campfire Stories in 2001. Shortly after, he booked the Canadian science fiction series Mutant X, playing Jesse Kilmartin. He remained with this show until it was cancelled in 2004. In late July 2005, he returned to daytime television on All My Childrens sister soap One Life to Live, playing the new character Nash Brennan, currently paired with Tess & alternate personality of Jessica Buchanan.
