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!

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.

The Secret Circle is an amazing television show and myself and many people enjoy it ! Worst thing is it has been canceled and so much was opened up on the finale of season 1 which will now never be complete :( not to mention the books were only a slight guide so they wont answer the questions of what happens either. SIGN THIS PETITION TO RENEW TSC FOR A SEASON 2 :) The petition can be found on change.org, just search the secret circle in the search bar and it is the first petition to appear. Don't let this amazing show that actually has a great plot and great characters go to waste leaving behind shows which actually have not good content. The secret circle is one of a kind, so save it !

It had everything to be part of the Vampire Diaries mythology/franchise. And the season/series finale left me completely hooked. Just like Melrose Place reboot, and Ringer, it needed time to improve. And showed it could in a big way, at the very last minute. I'm sure if the show aired a year later, it would've lasted at least three or four more seasons. Considering how awful ratings standards got afterwards, it's not such a stretch to imagine that. It's crazy how the 2009-2012 era of the CW network, is filled with rushed decisions or good projects nipped in the bud. To think they've decided to renew Hart of Dixie over this, is beyond me. And now we have bad PC reboots shoved down our throats. I'm not even hoping for a revival, because it's just too late for that...

I'll just put this in pros and cons since there's no really point writing 1000 words review for the show that barely started.

+ 1. Plot seems interesting 2. Chicks are hot 3. I love places of shooting (whole town really) 4. I love dark breeze of it 5. Acting is quite a good but it could be improved 6. Solid character development - 1. Lines are sometimes cheesy and really stupid 2. Sometimes nothing makes sense at all 3. Special effects seems really bad made 4. Whole concept of witchcraft is messed up and pretty much old story

Show has potential but it really needs to work up if it wants to achieve anything. They need to create something new, to write better lines, to actually create better chemistry between characters, to remove stupid 10s looks and a lots of other small things. So far the show is good; the rating does justice to it. Solid 7.5/6 show that has potential to rise to 8 if played well.
