Season 1 Review: The characters describe familiar types, but the writing and performances make them feel original, individual. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It sounds like a lot – and it is. But it is all played with great brio and sufficient confidence to allow you to overlook the occasional misstep. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Shelter is broader than a barn door, but, at full pelt, it’s also a whodunit with heart, soul and an infectious sense of fun. Read full review

Season 1 Review: With a near-unwieldy quantity of interrelated mysteries established in its first episode, it remains to be seen whether Shelter can deliver on its myriad lofty promises; then again, the level of production and familiarity of the character tropes lends a sense of comforting assurance to proceedings.

Season 1 Review: We wish Harlan Coben’s Shelter gave us a bit more of a cohesive story in its early going instead of what feels like taking all of its mysteries and putting them in a storytelling blender. But the charm of the leads and the fact that the mystery has multiple layers give us hope that as things are revealed, the storytelling will become a bit less frenzied. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It doesn’t always work, but anyone with a soft spot for the genre is going to derive at least some enjoyment from Shelter, which may yet end up with a second season depending on how things pan out. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Shelter is so muddled in its storyline and so poorly-executed that the series feels almost like a joke. Not in the way of a comedy, but in the way of a drama that had some foundations to be good... and just very badly missed the mark. Read full review

The entire plot is pretty muddled. Too many plotlines never really finish. Way too much Sapphos lust (nothing to do with the plot but everything to do with the 'in-your-face' bullying with immorality). Characters pretty much caricature's (sports guys bullys, emo girls lesbians, etc). TheThe entire plot is pretty muddled. Too many plotlines never really finish. Way too much Sapphos lust (nothing to do with the plot but everything to do with the 'in-your-face' bullying with immorality). Characters pretty much caricature's (sports guys bullys, emo girls lesbians, etc). The overall tone seems to conflict with the story. So our recommendation would be "skip as there are much better mysteries out there."… Expand

Weird that the series is supposed to be targeting youths, but then it proceeds to drop F-bombs throughout the show regularly. This is a huge change from the source material, which was actually age-appropriate in its content. There were also several changes done to be more "progressive" whichWeird that the series is supposed to be targeting youths, but then it proceeds to drop F-bombs throughout the show regularly. This is a huge change from the source material, which was actually age-appropriate in its content. There were also several changes done to be more "progressive" which in the end is a big reason why much of Amazon's original content fails to attract bigger audiences. If only they would learn from the original source materials that they steal from to make their streaming content that the broader appeal of the writing in the stories the better it will do with general audiences. If you are familiar with the typical drivel that streaming companies are releasing to pad their content with that has been "updated" for modern audiences then you are likely already aware of what to expect with this series. I sadly think that we need to start letting A.I. write the scripts that are being adapted from books, as AI will have no ego and can let the original author's stories/messaging shine through without all the unnecessary clutter.… Expand
