*My Thoughts*
I am liking this series even more than disliking it...haha! We are even getting more character development as in this second episode, the storylines begin to coincide with each other. Here, more downlworlders are revealed. Even the vampires have revealed themselves. Yup! In this second episode, we are introduced to more downworlders. Well, I would definitely like to see their interpretation of what werewolves look ilke in their wolf form. Oh...and the City of Bones! Many of the memorable characters and scenes that I have enjoyed reading have definitely been placed in the series...of course, with it's modern, high tech twists to it.
As I continue to watch, the cast is growing on me. But... It is only the second episode. Because it is a favorite book series, I am willing to see where they go with this series. Their casting choices for these favorite characters are acceptable. But then again, that's just my opinion. It's interesting how Valentine was revealed so soon into the series. But, it worked.
Even with some changes, it is essential that the series stay true to the story/plot...but then, that's just me...haha! So far, the series has a cohesive storyline that is acceptable. Oh, the pressure the cast and crew must be under to live up to the fans expectations. Especially when the movie got a lot of mixed "reviews" from fans. If I had to guess, I think this series fans will approve of. So far, I am liking the show... until the next episode Shadowhunters!
For now, get a sneak peek of Episode 3 - "Dead Man's Party"
