Mortal

Mortal is a strange kinda super power series and I love it! The teen characters are unique, strong, endearing, fun and crazy. The writers may have written a teen focused script on a high school campus but adults will enjoy this series too! The adult characters round the series out. The voodoo grandma is hella funny with her craft. Main characters Sofiane and Victor take the cake. Polar opposites but their relationship/friendship is interesting to watch evolve as they discover their respective powers and emotional balance. The evil character Obe is interesting. More like unique. The eyewear worn looks more like frames with fire coils for lenses. I had no intention of binging this Netflix series but I was hooked. The series highlights a lot of the confusion, emotional turmoil and rollercoaster decisions that is representative of the teen years. In the final episode there is redemption, healing, resolve & forgiveness. There's also closure of old wounds and the start of new beginnings. The hallway scene between Luisa and Victor is exquisite sweet perfection. The moment is mind blowing. Worthy of a cigarette 🚬 afterwards. A solid series well written. 10 stars for creativity, great cast, action and storyline.

Three episodes in. I am really enjoying this. Being a teen supernatural show, I did not have any expectations, but the show is really good with good twists and turns. Acting is not a strong suit of the show. Also, if you like strong moral protagonists in the show, then this is not the show for you. All the characters are mostly a**h***s. Tighter screenplay and better handling of the characters would have helped immensely. All in all, a good supernatural show. Will edit later, after I finish the whole series. It is only six episodes long. Edit: Completed it. A kind of cliche ending, but still not a bad one. Revised my rating to 8.

Complex themes intertwined in a teen supernatural show. Suicide, sexual assault, friendship, familial expectations, loss, communication, and true love. The soundtrack is everything right with the world. The acting is nuanced with the exception of a couple of minor characters chomping sone scenery. It starts kind of slow but by the second episode you're hooked. This show contains one of the most beautiful love scenes I've ever witnessed. A must see! Please give us a2nd season,Netflix!

It just gets better! I binged out on one day and want more. It ended up being a beautifully done show.

It's fun, it's captivating, and generally a great show to binge.
