I finally got around to watching this series on Netflix after a long delay due to reading a few negative reviews but wanted to finally make my opinion.

Firstly I was interested in the story - I haven't read the books but was introduced to the Shadow Hunter world by the movie so I dont have much to comapre or judge, but it's the same story line I'm most interested in. (There will always be a divide between book and movie/tv versions of any narrative).

Yes I agree the first couple episodes seem a bit lacking but you can't hot a home run straight off the first bat. I kept watching and finding getting more and more drawn in & constantly hitting next episode. I was initially dissapointed there seemed to be only 2 seasons but so excited now it is still continuing because now I'm hooked!

Notes: I think more raw emotion coming from the actors/characters and little less cliche moments will benefit but all characters stories are smooth and not over complicated but detailed that it doesnt create plot holes. Perhaps more focus on the inner character developments so we can get really attached to indivudals backstory and their life choices.

But still I am hanging out for the next season and I recommend at least watching the whole first season before making a judgement call - if it aint your thing fine but dont rain on others parade.

The new season of Shadowhunters clearly makes a stable foundation of what makes its book counterpart so intriguing. I believe this is the time where it shines and subsumes itself to the character and environment of the book that all readers are familiar of. Season 3 is the stepping stone of what could become a long running show.

My advice, withhold all judgements on the first two seasons and be carried away of the new season.

When I saw the previews I was nervous it would be like the deplorable movie. I am a huge fan of the series.It makes sense to keep it a series instead of trying to make movies of all the movies. I will be interested to see how they will follow the books. Will each season be a single book? Will they combine books. Either way, I'm excited to keep watching. The casting in the movie was horrible. Magnus was a joke. The casting for the series is spot on. I'm pretty picky when it comes to casting. I am disappointed with the institute as others have stated. I enjoyed Simon and Jace's humor. I find the use of the different weapons interesting and didn't think the effects were cheesy. Please please remember that it is very difficult to make an adaptation of a book into a movie or series. We were spoiled with Harry Potter and the Hunger Games. I'm definitely going to keep watching.

Let me start by saying that I loved the books and hated the movie so much I tried to get through it twice and never made it beyond the first 15 minutes. Does this stick completely to the books? No, of course not. It follows the story line much better than the movie. Remember, this isn't a mini series so they need to set up a broader world. The characters are true to type and so much better cast than the crappy movie. I can already see that I am going to like Simon. He's pretty much exactly like in the book and bonus, Alec doesn't look like one of their dads :D. 1pilots are almost always meh and require setting up the premise so don't worry about it being plot heavy. They settle in nicely in the second episode. (already on Hulu plus a week in advance). Give it a shot if you like the books.

Season 1 is more of an introduction and not as good . But season 2 and 3 are SO GOOD! It almost seems like it's a new show , the story is better, the acting is on point and the special effects are amazing . Give it a chance .

I've read almost all the books, but the story of Clary, Jace, Simon, Isabelle, Alec and Magnus... That one I know from start to finish. Can't say I appreciate the movie, but I've found this TV show to be quite interesting. Sure, it has deviated from the books, but I hardly know a TV show based on a book that hasn't. Even movies do it all the time. So I gave it a shot and I'm willing to follow it through. If I wanted to see the story of the books then I'd read the books. When I watch Shadowhunters is really to see what they're willing to do differently. And so far although it hasn't been great, it isn't poor either. I've found it to be a good show to follow. And until it becomes impossible to watch then I'll continue seeing it.

Also true that the cast is a little green and that shows quite well, especially in the scenes that would require more emotion more deep into it. But seeing most are newcomers I'm more than willing to let that slide.

All in all I believe if people go into this with a open mind and not expect to see what they read in the books they'll appreciate it for the value it has.

I enjoyed the books. I know that no movie or show based off of books are nearly as good, so I will not rate this compared to the books, but as a stand alone show.

The acting is beyond dreadful, the lines are cheesy and the plot is very rushed. As always if you love fantasy shows with magic, demons, and such, you might overlook everything else and enjoy it for what it is.

The most important thing I want everyone to know is that it get's better. Much better. If you love the genre, I recommend you watch through the first season as the second season is better and the third season is totally awesome. There are many likeable actors/actresses. The acting is believable. The special effects get noticeably better by the season. I absolutely LOVE the story. This is my favorite genre and I'm glad I watched through the first season even though I wasn't to eager to finish it.

Despite the cringe and the crappie acting in the 1st season that I couldn't even watch, nevertheless to judge and finishing it was like a nightmare, the next two seasons were absolutely amazing, the VFX the music, the storyline, the scenario, the acting, everything was a work on progress, and each episode gets better and better, Enjoyed every episode starting from season 2 and so on, the dev2of the characters was on point so is with the relationships aspect of, there was some characters that seemed to have a powerful rule in the story, and they disappeared just like that, But overall, it was good.

If you are stuck in s01, may the angels be with you!

Worth watching.

I'v been reading the reviews and I'm glad to know the show improves in Season 2, but I'm on Episode 8 of Season 1 and I'm not sure I can stick with it long enough to get there.

Clary is SOOOO annoying! Both she and Simon overact so badly it's like they walked on to the set by mistake; they belong in some cheesy sitcom. The rest of the cast at least give more restrained performances, but Clary and Simon are on the verge of hysteria the WHOLE TIME - it's exhausting to watch them.

I enjoy the series so much! I find the cast of the series 100 times more attractive than the cast in the movie. I couldn't even get turned on the Jace who was in the movie yuck! And the girl who played Clary? Not even a tad bit pretty. I do admit that I wish Jace was more arrogant in the series like he is in the book, but I'm not complaining. As long as they keep the action and romance going I don't care. I really hope it will be renewed for a second season! There are fans of the book complaining over and over about the series, okay we get it you don't like the changes. Be grateful that the book at least was given a series! By the way I love Clace in the series they are so sexy, especially Dominic.

This show is amazing. Yes it had a few problems in season one and it took a while for the actors, writers and production crew to adjust and find their rhythm like many shows but season two showed what this show is capable of. This show has everything you could ask for. It has entertainment and good characters as well as well as good rep for pretty much everyone and its just getting started.The first few eps of the show might not be to your taste but everything gets better as it goes along especially the acting, effects and writing and direction. So if you quit in season one then give it another chance and stick with it because season two and especially 2B is amazing and even the last few eps of season one are quite good. It really sets the tone for season two and for 2B to blow our socks off and now hopefully season three will too.

The Shadowhunters premiered on yesterday with huge expectation but it failed to fulfill the expectation. the source material for the series is very loyal to the books..we have to give credit for that... everything else is worthless... PLUS: Very strong story line.. and nothing else... MINUS: flat performances by lead actors, cheap visuals and effects, crap writing, worst casting other than leads... VERDICT:

first of all i was very excited about the series... but after watched the premier i m very very disappointed.. simply,The Shadowhunters is a ambitious effort to hook teenage viewers, but without proper writing...that's gonna have to wait...

Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Claire is an amazing book series and this web series has done a huge injustice to it. I was utterly disappointed on watching the episodes and couldn't get past a few. The acting is just terrible. There are no expressions on the cast's faces, the scenes look very disconnected, the way that the storyline is displayed is hugely disappointing.

Get past S1 and its smooth sailing. I think it needed to find its legs and the actors needed to discover the characters more. And S2 doesn't disappoint. The cast and characters are diverse spaning across the spectrum in personality, ethnicity, and sexuality. Strong women who support each other, men who break free of the stereotypes of true masculinity, badass fight sequences (come S2)...its just good. Though it's a fantasy show, it deals with real world problems with care. The special effects and writing improve greatly in the second season. And this current third season just keeps getting better. Hoping for a season 4!!

There's bad acting, then there's Shadowhunters. There's not much more to say really

Give this show a chance. Just do it. People are complaining that the first episode was crap. I hope people realize that for some of the cast this is their major big break. Besides, it gets so much better! I'm sick of all the reviews that were published right after the first episode was released and people are listening to it as they think that is for the entire show when it is not. So, do the people who actually have waited for this show since March and are actually enjoying it, and don't spread negative hate around social media and whatnot because I surely am not the only one to see the show expand and explore. Not saying everyone has to like it, but please don't brainwash other people into thinking it is bad when it's not. Feel free to disagree with me, I only made this account to post this review, ha ha.

The world of Shadowhunters is very interesting and has so very much potential for some great scifi fantasy storytelling. For the record, I've never read the books. It kind of delivers and tells quite cool tale but unfortunately it kind of ruins itself with trying waaaay too much.

There is a lot of useless script. No matter how much in a hurry the characters are or whatever they are doing, they always have time to stop everything and blabber on and on about obvious things (and feelings, obviously). A HUGE amount could have been told with simple gestures and physical expressions but for some reason this is ot enough and everything must also be said out loud. There's a humongous amount of closeups too because apparently we like to stare at talking faces a lot.

Movement, action, walking, running, whatever, nice sets, views, backgrounds... PAUSE Blabbering closeups, drama... RESUME Hot girl, nice ass, cool hair... PAUSE

• "Let's go over there to talk."
• "Yeah, let's go."

RESUME Cool backdrop, hot girl, nice ass and cool hairdo walk over there, in silence... PAUSE -"I can't believe that we're actually here, talking. Yay feelings!" -"Yeah, amazing. We came from over there. I have a bad feeling about this though and I'm pretty sure that the guy behind the corner is waiting for us to finish blabbering." RESUME Bad guy, fight scene.

PAUSE

• "Did you see that thing?"
• "Yeah. I mean, I was there. But explain it to me anyway, because blabber."
• "Sure, it was blabber blabber blabber."

...avoiding the urge to skip ahead... ...blabber...move on already for god sakes!

• "Hey guys, we killed this thing."
• "Omg! Are you ok?!"
• "I'm here blabbering, aren't I? What do you think?"
• "I meant emotionally, my love. Let's go over there to blabber about our feelings. After all, we have all the time in the world because we can always pause it for blabbering!" It is supposed to be a visual media but for some reason shows these days are becoming more and more static, with a lot of closeups when there could be stuff happening in the back/around when there is a discussion going on. Even in reality people constantly do things while they talk to each other. Give them a freaking newspaper to read or something. Anything.

Visually the show is pretty stunning, especially after the first season. Oh yeah, did I mention that most of the characters are super hot? There is no shortage of short skirts, high heels and tight jeans. And we get to stare at their pretty faces A LOT while they are blabbering. Visual effects are also good and the world looks the part (what little we see of it anyway). There is also blood! In a show like this, an unbelievable amount. There's like swords, daggers, arrows, fangs and stuff that actually get bloody! Who did they pay to avoid an R rating? Not that it is at all gory but these days even a drop seems to get rewarded with an R. God forbid someone says the FU word.

There are some decent character development... to a point, and for the most part the actors do just fine, although they have very little manuevering room because scenes are filmed in such a way. Sadly things become kind of repeptitive and stale as it all goes along, due to narrowness of today's storytelling - there just isn't that much to do when your characters have nothing outside the main arc. And this show was one of the last of its genre with 20+ episode seasons which is super rare these days. Usually we get like one episode's worth of action and 7 to 9 episodes of unrealistic, overcomplicated blabber. And a new seasons take about two years to produce. However did they manage 22 or even 24 episodes before is a mystery? And with less money even! Perhaps people are getting stupider and/or simply can't focus enough to keep up with events without every moment and action being explained out loud (probably too busy browsing FB or IG while "watching"). I guess this is why names are constantly used mid conversations too? Or do people constantly repeat each others names during conversatiotions? It's like the characters are reading a book that has a pretty image every ten pages or so, and we get to watch them read those pages. They are called moving pictures for a reason although many shows seem to be more and more static.

Shadowhunters is ok. It looks nice and it sure tells a decent scifi fantasy story. It just shoots itself in the foot by explaining everything with words. Some random shadowhuntering missions and stuff in there would have done wonders but it seems that all shadowhunters do is manifest drama and then talk A LOT about their feelings before actually doing anything...

After the wife and I saw the movie we were disappointed to find out they weren't going to make the next in the series for the big screen. Our woe was turned to hope when we learned that it would instead be turned into a TV series. Sadly the good news stopped there. The sets look good and the story seems to be staying loyal to the book (for the most part), but the major downfall is both the acting and the special effects. The acting seems like that of your average high school drama class, lines that need pauses between them are blurted out quickly and with sloppy delivery, even the body language is lacking in any real commitment. While some of the fight scenes look good for the most part the entire feel of the acting, fighting and effects can be easily summed up as power rangers. To touch quickly on the effects, while TV shows have much smaller budgets than feature length movies I feel some effects should have been left out in favour of old school tricks rather than cheap looking garbage. By far the worst part was seeing the Shadowhunters tech, mixing high tech gadgets with this magical world feels like Bilbo Baggins texting Gandalf for advice.

If even just the acting improves this show could really impress but for now it's underwhelming to frustrating

I love the books and I liked the movie. When I first started to watch the TV series, I could see flaws with the pilot but I'm okay if they start to stray from the books (it would be boring if they kept the same things) but I could see how poorly written the script was and how the actors didn't seem to resemble as much of the characters as I would've liked so I gave them a second chance and watched the second episode. As you watch more of the series you begin to notice how everything improves from episode to episode. I now find myself beginning to look forward to the upcoming episodes. They had a rough start but it gets better if you give this series a chance!
