Good concept, poorly executed.

Don't Believe the Hype

An Exercise In Nonsense

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The series starten out as an intresting show. I more or less binged it. But at the seasin finally thet must hade run out of money or something. CGI from the 80s why?

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.

One to watch. Love thuis serie. Don't understanding the low ratings.

I'm really enjoying this series. It's similar to Supernatural, Buffy, Charmed,,etc., with it's good vs evil, family (or Scooby gang) vs the world type stories, but it has it's own unique flavor. I really like it. I also like the characters, and the main actors are very good, in my opinion. The only thing I dislike is part way through the series, the camera angles get really strange and take me out of the story completely. Way too many severe close ups, and severely changing camera angles that swoop from regular view to top down view, then back again, that totally take me away from the story line and make me focus on the camera skills instead and think "wtf is happening, is the camera man high?" It is jarring and really detracts from the stories. If it weren't for the weird camera angles, I would have rated this series a 10.
