    The concept is awesome. Its unique, I like that these angel type beings are edgy and kind of emotionally detached. Even their look is neat, with their tattoos and leather. They're not all feathers and light or anything. The overall aesthetic is very pleasing. The movie had some corny bits but I enjoyed it and had hoped for a sequel. I appreciate that the show came to fruition.

    Although, I must say, I absolutely despise this Clary girl. Everything from her voice and appearance to her weak, needy behavior. Its such a shame. I know shes confused and going through oh, so much but- unfortunately I hate the girl and cannot connect with her or feel any sympathy for her. I literally made this account to express my disdain for Clary.
    The show and movie for that record, are totally tweeny and inane but admittedly, to an extent, its part of the draw for me. Its good to unwind with after a long day.
    On a positive note, I'll reiterate that I appreciate that the show came to be and I do enjoy Isabelle and her antics. Magnus is of course, fabulous.

    in my opinion the vampire's story line and seelie's are much better than others , shadowhunters stories are kindda boring and unfortunately writers like to focus more on them.
    i wish in future they drama becomes less of a matter than the real story!

    The pilot is so bloated, attempting as it does to relay all the rules of its fictional universe through nauseatingly clunky dialogue and disorienting time- and location-jumps (including some to freaking Chernobyl, where the series’ big bad has randomly chosen to camp out), that it’s difficult to make sense of anything going on, but here are the basics.

    McNamara does her best, but Clary has been written as all breeze and no storm, which makes her central relationship with Jace more an algorithm of attractiveness than chemistry. Decter appears far more interested in Revelations than revelation, and in his rush to get to the "good stuff" he has forgotten that this kind of stuff is good only when it takes a while to get there.

    Not even the directorial efforts of McG can salvage what’s happening here. There are some mild action sequences, but they don’t do much to elevate the proceedings.
