October Faction

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 !!!

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.

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

Anyone who goes on about this being some high school melodrama show hasn't watched it. Yeah, the kids are in high school and that's a part of the story, but a small one.

It IS kind of standard secret organization fighting monsters in the world stuff, but the overall story is strong, the script is at least good, and the acting is fine....if the casting a bit qestionable.

I don't expect every show to have Avengers level special effects, and this is no exception, but the visuals are more than passable. But overall the show lacked a....personality. It was a little by the numbers, not really inspired and just didn't have a feel of it's own.

But it's not the write it off, predictable, boring wreck that some people are trashing it as. It was solid, and if you like supernatural action with a good story, you'll dig it.
