tmoore-37645 Unlike many shows - including Supernatural - there's an actual story, backplot and development here right from the start. Yes, there are a mixture of themes, including Victoriana / verging on Steam Punk, elements of Warehouse 13 and nods in various directions.For me that adds to the establishment of authenticity, which is carried over in the writing. Far from being bad acting / narrative (see the early episodes of Mortal Instruments and Shanara - both of which were pretty terrible), there is a slant on this that, if allowed to develop could easily mature in to a clever, witty and developed set of stories. For the most part the acting and direction are great - if a little different from the 'norm'.In some ways it reminds me of good tv programmes from the 60's and 70's, where time and effort had to be put into the narrative simply because of technical limitations.Of course, if the unimaginative can't grasp the theatricality of it, then I don't suppose it will get renewed, which would be a real shame, as with the right writing and a bit of enthusiasm on the part of the channel, it could become very interesting. But what do I know, I stuck with it and enjoyed it and would be very happy for more.

spyroschas After watching five minutes the pilot ,i was ready to destroy my tv so i went out for a drink. avoid this crap at any cost.watch sharktopus vs pteracuda instead. its much more decent production. p.s. as for all those who "worked" for this s**t, HANG'EM HIGH!!!

jfchester Character wise, only Bea Hastings (Robinne Lee) is charming and May Westbrook (Demetria McKinney) is likeable. For the rest, bad acting or bad direction, they are just not engaging.Plots are either so complicated, or so dumb. For example, Isaac Hastings (Mario Van Peebles) gets cursed and will die. He just disappears and comes back, hey I am healed... They also try to build a back story, but it isn't working.Lot's of clichés, especially Tilly (Tatiana Zappardino) who is a walking cliché of the modern witch, a typical "strange" pathologist with phobias such as dolls... Stunts and weapon handling looks like a high school play.And last, not least, special effects and blue screen really "s...ks". In some car's scenes, I though I was looking at movie from the '60s. And it gets worst when magic stuff gets involved. Final battle is worth of 1980 Flash Gordon.

aag-77617 This show is horrible. Sure, the thought is alright but the scenes and script is horrible. They have all the cliche 'near death experiences way too soon when we hardly know the character. The seer don't get a connection with them because we hardly know anything about them. Early in the episodes Isaac dies and comes back and the son does not seem to know he was immortal, in a few episodes later it seems like he has know all the time. It hardly make any sense. It is a terrible show with such cliche scenes all over the place. If you wanna watch something cringy this is the thing for you
