Wicked City

For fans of fantasy and sci-fi, this show has potential and I guess we need to see where it goes. Hopefully it will start to take itself more seriously, cast members will actually speak instead of whisper, and each episode won't end with a group of screaming girls (or witches) panicking about the situation they find themselves in, cause that's already gotten old. It's the classic tale of good verses evil, although acting on the evil side is disappointing, always dressed in black and trying way to hard to appear evil. I guess we will need to wait and see although I am not holding my breath. But if the next episode ends with a bunch of screaming girls falling all over themselves screaming and panicking i am switching off.

As I like series that consist of witches, vampires n werewolves I thought I'd give this a go as the write up sounded pretty good.. Let's just say the write up is better than the series.

The acting is very poor, and out the whole cast of about 25 people I'd say there is only 3 good actors in the whole series.

The cgi is terrible considering its made in 2022 it seemed like it was made in the 80s b4 cgi came about.. The story line is all over the place n jumps from 1 thing to another.. If it wasn't for the sex n the swearing this could easily be viewed by 12 year olds, Its not one for adults unless u want to be bored to death n just think to urself omg this acting n cgi is ridiculous n pqthetic... They have left the end of season 3 open but please dont make a season 4... I only stuck it out cos i thought it could get better, but i was wrong n thats a few hoirs of my life i wont get back lol..

Dont bother urself with this rubbish.

No decent storyline Out the whole cast is about 3 good actors n the rest need to go back to drama school.

The cgi might aswell have been done by a 4 yesr year old.

Boring show ...

I honestly see where story wants to go, but unfortunately the actresses aren't able to pull thru and give the story what it needs. Its like watching a bunch of people act like they are acting instead of being that character and a part of the story. Embarrassing.

I also wish certain characters weren't over the type tv tropes. I do like the idea of black women and witches but it has been done better in AHS and Vampire Diaries. Maybe those involved should have watched those shows to learn how to act and pull thru a better performance. No reason to work so hard just for us to watch you working hard at acting.

The only reason I wouldn't give it a higher rating is due to the clear or quality audio and video! I think the storyline is great! I love Vanessa Bell Calloway and will always give something she is in a chance! I am glad I did! I hope they keep going with this one! It's nice to see women of color in this genre. I also believe that if it stays the filmography will improve. I appreciate that is is not the same as the charmed reboot which I also like but I LOOOOOVE THIS! Don't leave us hanging with only 5 episodes. If you plan on taking it away after just one season at least finish the season! I love Sharice! She's giving "Remy Ma" if she was a witch Vibez!

Even if it were a soap opera or telenovela, the over-acted melodrama is cloyingly interfering. At times the dialog and interactions put it on par with YA-bordering on juvenile-programming.

It's like a repackaged new age children's series trying to wear mommy's makeup and adding in some PG/R rated themes and hallucinogens in attempt to hook some adult attention.

It might be summarized as an ALLBLACK wannabe version of Charmed, but even less "believable".

If it hadn't been for the uniqueness for the target audience and niche network, I sincerely doubt it could have survived long enough to air the first season without being kicked to the curb. Even the attempts at new age fantasy schlock fall short.
