The Secret Circle

Well this is my first review and considering I saw a few episodes, I must agree that this is actually a modern version of the Craft but I liked it.

Although it's all witchcraft and that they need the circle to form magic, the show's very entertaining and promising for older teens and adults. It doesn't go full horror and dark when it's supposed to and Brittany seems to portray Cassie really good, I mean, she screams like she mean it and she makes it all believable. Along with the other cast of the circle, Phoebe seems to surprise among the audiences of her acting and Dekker and the other gang are awesome in the series.

It's definitely a great (witch) show, I'd recommend it and the plot's really appealing to the show and so as the cast.

So go ahead. Watch it on CWTV. It'll be a shocker!

I really liked this show when it came out. I wasn't very pumped it got canceled, I wanted to see where it was heading.

The Secret Circle is one of those series where you find good acting, beautiful people, interesting script and plot with intelligent and bright situations packed nicely in one shiny box.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, lived with it in its short-term season 1 and highly recommend it to every viewer interested in witchcraft performed by young and talented people with an interesting story in the background.

Unfortunately, as it usually happens, the sword of Damocles fell on this promising series, cutting its life short and hindering it from developing its full potential in the span of several seasons.

Why did they have to cancel this show. I cannot honestly believe it had anything to do with low ratings as it is just too good. There are plenty of other CW shows that couldn't hold a candle to this one but they gave them a second season order. I am completely unimpressed that another great show will be finished up on a cliffhanger.

It's kind of like The Craft but with a few subtle differences. Overall though I am glad that I have finally watched this show. There are no typical vampires and werewolves in this one like many other shows and movies at the moment. It focuses on a new supernatural being. They have also setup the storyline really well so there are plenty of directions they can take and it keeps you guessing. Unfortunately I guess we will never really get to see how good it could have been.

The show started off quite simple and the story line was obviously just getting started, but after the first few episodes it's developed and now i can see that the show is going to get a lot better in time. I haven't read the books, but i know some things have changed (kind of like they did with The Vampire Diaries, making elena's character the opposite of who she is, bringing in new- non-existent character's and getting rid of some and changing loads of aspects of the story), but i can't help thinking they do this to make it more TV friendly. They do it to stretch it out and make it last longer, put their own twists and spins, making you're more eager to see the next episode to see if what you know should happen, does. I can say that The Secret Circle is a good show, it needs work, some of the actors aren't that great and are obviously just starting out. The thing that drew me to TSC was Phoebe Tonkins, the Australian actor from H2O: Just add water, and she is a brilliant part of the show. I love her character, she's full of surprises and she's a brilliant actor too. Cassie also shines a light on the show as well, i had seen her in 'life unexpected' and thought she was great in that. But anyway, the story line is developing so their's no point in shunning it until it's a good way into the series, and i just overall think it's pretty good.
