October Faction

Updated: I finally made myself watch past episode 2, and while I maintain the disappointment of seeing a potential great show tarnished by bad cast choices and poor adaptation from the Gtaphic Novel, in the end I was somewhat entertained. I hope they do better in season 2 if they ever get one. And since I think opinions are not immutable gave 2 more stars, from 5 to 7.

Love the premise of the show and the colors. The acting is suferable at best, this show with a different cast would be a hit.

The cringeworthy, stereotypical teens REALLY need to be rewritten. It's as if the writers don't know how to combine apathetic, privileged, tuned out teenagers convincingly.

The storyline has promise and if you can hang in past the 3rd episode, the series starts to pick up. A little more background on the "monsters" would be helpful. As well as showing a few more creatures would help.

Only half way through & I keep asking myself why am I still watching... I like the overall premise of a monster fighting family, but the annoying moody twins are so cringe worthy. In fact all the teens are stereotypical & annoying AF ! Get rid of the teens or at least make them likeable & give us more monsters !!!

OK, first off. There were too many unnecessary F-Bombs, so much so that it sounded like the actors even felt uncomfortable dropping them in as was written. Secondly, there was all kinds of build up to the climactic end and it was over. Geez, my 12 year old could have written a better ending than that.

The acting was not as horrible as others have reviewed - I have turned off other movies due to bad acting, but kept going with this one for the hopes of a good ending. Well, what I got was an empty feeling when it was all over.

The show tries a little too hard to be something for everyone instead of focusing on its strength which is the challenges of being a monster hunting family... I will say that at the end of the season I was still interested in what the further future actions of the characters would be and that is about as much as you could hope for within Netflix TV show
