I really tried to like this show, because as a fan of the book (and the movie) I saw hope in getting a proper adaption of the book series, but man was I wrong.
Everything about this show is so B grade, from the amount of orange in Clary's hair, to the flashback scenes in the pilot, the show is awful.
While there are some good moments in the show (the conversation with Jace and Alec, and Alec and Isabelle), the actors portraying Clary and Simon really make this show unbearable. I'm not sure if these actors don't know what they are doing, or if it's just the writing, but it seems like these two characters are the worst. Pity they are the main characters.
I didn't initially want to write a bad review for the show, but after struggling through the first episode and four minutes of the second episode, Simon's reaction to Isabelle ("hot! uh, the runes) seems like a joke meant for eleven year olds.
Maybe the show was doomed from the start when they refused to allow the author of the book series, Cassandra Clare, to have any input in the show what-so-ever. Sure they have every right to change plot details, and I understand that, but to make the dialogue so awful, cringe and just idiotic in general, I have to wonder why Free-form allowed this pilot to be made to series.
I will probably keep watching it, just out of hope that the show improves (or they recast the leads) but until then, I will try not to pay too much attention to any scene involving dyed orange hair or glasses.

Let me get this straight before I begin: unReal is disturbing and sickening and hard to watch. But that is the aim of this show.
It centers around a fictional reality dating show called "Everlasting". The show may start out slow, but by the second episode, it sinks its teeth in.
The main character, Rachel, is suffering from some sort of mental disease. It seems like she is bipolar. The show's manager, Quinn, is a complete control freak while Rachel, Shia and Jay manipulate the bachelorettes, Quinn is really the one doing the manipulating.
I like to think that this show is very similar to house of cards, and like house of cards, it seems realistic in a very strange way. I have no doubt that a lot of this stuff really goes on behind the scenes of these sorts of shows, and that is what unReal does best. The scenes that it spends showing how the handlers manipulate fights, arguments and who is eliminated really hits home hard.
9/10
