Motherland: Fort Salem

This show is MASSIVLEY underrated.

This was a huge surprise. When I saw the trailer I though, yeah looks cool, then ratings came in and they were ok. So now I went to check again and the show is at 7 but the episodes at high 8s low 9s, so I gave it a try.

And DAMN. This show is very original, has a compelling storyline and surprisingly very decent acting. I haven't seen most of the actors before, but they're doing SUCH a good job. It's easy to overact in a show like this, considering the fantasy premise, but nope!

Also the budget must be damn high, cause the special effects look pretty good!

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 had saw a few clips of it and thought nothing of it until I decided to sit down and watch it and I'm really impressed. There were some moments where I was like damn that's super cool. It's interesting take on witches and I like the characters and their development so far. I really hope it gets renewed cause there so many scenes that are breathtaking and the plot is actually really intriguing. I'm not quite sure why it has so much hate though. I heard about how some people don't like how there's little representation of men; however I feel as though I haven't really missed it. Like it's basically a fantasy dystopian show; and like many others there's going to be something different in their world than ours. Gives us something interesting. But that's just my opinion. Hope you have a good day!

I kept seeing this on Netflix. The picture of the show didn't work for me. Being self quarantined, I was bored at 6:00 am. I gave a try. To my delight I was hooked. Great concept for women. But still has enough fighting and great special effects to make it interesting. Great casting job. The chemistry works very well and the girls are easy to look at. The only problem I have is... I like to binge watch shows on Netflix. I don't have the patience to wait for each episode.

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.
