Motherland: Fort Salem

MFS is unlike any show I've seen and I consider myself pretty well versed in the area of television shows. This is a totally new spin on witches and I really didn't think Freeform was going to be able to pull it off seeing as they cater to a younger crowd (I'm 36) but they've definitely surprised me in a good way! I find myself very excited for the next episode and wishing it was available to binge. I think the cast was carefully and perfectly chosen! The diversity in this show is seriously awesome! There are women of all races, ages and sizes... that's diversity done right! The plot is something I've never seen done and had I just read the plot prior to actually seeing it I don't think I would have had much hope but somehow it just works! I'm very excited for more episodes to come and hopeful for future seasons.

And I'm loving it so far. Real male reviewer before anyone tries to say I'm a fake reviewer cuz apparently that's all there ever is when someone likes something that someone else doesn't like. I love anything with witches. And that beginning was nuts and chilling. Can't wait to see more. Just give it a full episode or 2 chance before you knock on it. 2nd review.

I've never been really interest in anything army related, but this show has really peaked my interest in terms of its style and approach to serving your country.

At first it started off slow for me, but I gathered that was because they were trying to establish the world, but saying that every episode has gotten better and I've honestly never seen anything like this on TV. I really think the story is original and fresh, and a has really interesting spin on the idea of Salem and Witches. Each character comes across a certain way but as the show progresses they are not what the seem and a layer of who they are is pulled back, which is always good to see with characters.

I really hope this show gets a second season as it has a lot to offer in terms of the world and the rules of it.

I have seen that a lot of men have been giving it bad reviews which is not surprising. Men always seem to have more negative things to say when a story is centred on women for a change.

I don't know why people are so negative about this show. I'm absolutely in love with the plot and the characters. also the fact that it's an entirely new take on witches which I haven't seen before. other than the writing being good and the characters being very interesting, it is also awesome to see a show run by females and have good representation. overal it's definitely a show i'd recommand to everyone who enjoys some supernatural.

I'm unclear why the scathing reviews. I rather enjoyed it (only the first episode) I don't mind a bit of sci-fi, and likes the different take on witches.

I will continue to watch it, if it remains to this level.

And it's simple, if you don't like sci-fi, don't waste your time.
