Apr 23, 2021I mean it’s not a bad fantasy world you get thrusted in, but the story arch really copies numerous things that’s been done before The Matrix, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games. The out of no where savior the prophecy for told and the journey they have to go through for final victory. Which they all got it from the biblical story of Jesus

May 2, 2021The costumes and art design is great but the story is pretty boring. It gets better towards the end but the story just meanders and it's quite predictable. The characters are pretty flat as well. Still though it has potential. Best enjoyed drunk.

Oct 22, 2021In what is a crowded genre, this show does nothing to push it above most.
The bones are there for a good show, but some poor casting and ordinary writing really hold it back.
Awards & Rankings
-
The action and characterisation feels less convincing than it did in the simpler, less sprawling book story, almost like the rush to expand the story left it contracted in the ways that really matter.
-
Some elements are overly familiar and others overly confusing, but Shadow And Bone will draw you into the Fold with its absorbing world-building and engaging lead duo.

Though it’s full of worldbuilding lore that might hinder newcomers, Shadow and Bone is the best sort of adaptation for longtime fans: one that might just possibly be better than the source material.
