Motherland: Fort Salem

I don't know why people are so negative about this show. I'm absolutely in love with the plot and the characters. also the fact that it's an entirely new take on witches which I haven't seen before. other than the writing being good and the characters being very interesting, it is also awesome to see a show run by females and have good representation. overal it's definitely a show i'd recommand to everyone who enjoys some supernatural.

I kept seeing this on Netflix. The picture of the show didn't work for me. Being self quarantined, I was bored at 6:00 am. I gave a try. To my delight I was hooked. Great concept for women. But still has enough fighting and great special effects to make it interesting. Great casting job. The chemistry works very well and the girls are easy to look at. The only problem I have is... I like to binge watch shows on Netflix. I don't have the patience to wait for each episode.

I had saw a few clips of it and thought nothing of it until I decided to sit down and watch it and I'm really impressed. There were some moments where I was like damn that's super cool. It's interesting take on witches and I like the characters and their development so far. I really hope it gets renewed cause there so many scenes that are breathtaking and the plot is actually really intriguing. I'm not quite sure why it has so much hate though. I heard about how some people don't like how there's little representation of men; however I feel as though I haven't really missed it. Like it's basically a fantasy dystopian show; and like many others there's going to be something different in their world than ours. Gives us something interesting. But that's just my opinion. Hope you have a good day!

It's rare that a show exceeds expectations, but MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM does just that.

• The world is intriguing and original.
• The story setup is strong (like a HUNGER GAMES meets THE CRAFT).
• The tone is much more grounded and serious than CW fare (like LEGACIES), which gives the show greater depth and gravitas.
• The VFX and cinematography are breathtaking.
• The characters are compelling and have room to grow and evolve both individually and as a team.

In a nutshell, it's an incredibly well executed concept that could easily have been ruined by campiness and absurdity.

It truly saddens me to see other men dismiss this show out of hand because there are no key male parts. Who cares?! Just enjoy the show on its own merits. An absence of male lead roles should not be construed with a hatred of males. And besides, one of the witches has a kind and supportive father which disproves that nonsense.

Pay no attention to the low IMDb rating. If you enjoy watching strong women, intriguing, fantastical and smartly written stories and don't have any bigotry towards the presence of a lesbian character, I HIGHLY recommend this show.

Most of the witch shows you see witches with their covens running around doing whatever they want for their own cause. This show put an interesting spin on it. The witches fight for the USA as a part of the military. The graphics are pretty good, and i'm honestly quite impressed. Excited to see where this show will go in the coming episodes. Really not sure as to why it is rated a 5.2 on here. Deserves atleast a 7-7.5
