Shadowhunters boasts visual thrills and a potential-rich premise, but they're not enough to overcome the show's self-serious silliness and dull, convoluted plots. Read critic reviews

I loved the series. Sure, there are moments where it could have been better. But overall, the casting for the main cast was great, the plot got easy to follow, and you really fall in love with the characters. I read and loved all of books, of course it is normal to expect plot lines differ, either way, I was hooked! It is such a shame it ended I hope they revive it!
-
I have not read the books but am told the series did not read the books. I love fantasy stories so was more open to the plot than some. I get it is annoying to have your favorite book changed; I enjoyed the series, thought the acting was really good and I look for those actors in other projects. I wonder if a petition to all the producers begging them to just keep to the books.
-
Not only they butcher the books, but they do it to present plots that make no sense and characters that go beyond stupide.
-
I just started watching this series. I like the lead - she's thoughtful & kind even when trying to adapt to a strange new world.
-
If you have not read any or all of the books and don't plan on it, then watch this, but know this is not the real Shadowhunter world. If you plan to read the books or already have, go into this with no expectations, and then lower that expectation. This show follows virtually nothing of the true shadowhunter world and a good number of the problems in the Mortal Instruments books are largely not present. Characters and their morals/beliefs/characteristics/etc are changed, etc. This has sincerely been infuriating to watch, but the show is like a twelve train pile up crash that I cannot look away from as trains continue speeding on the railway to crash as well. The acting and effects are as bad as any CW tv show, meaning it's awful but after a certain amount of exposure it's mildly tolerable. I just cannot express how awful this show is, I just want to warn other fans of the books that this show is /nothing/ like the books.
-
Honestly it's an atrocious execution of the books. The plot line of the show doesn't even follow that of the books. It just takes a couple things that happened and lumps them together in completely different ways from how they were in the book which is super upsetting. The acting isn't all great either. Overall I'm quite disappointed.
-
Bullshit concept. totally illogical, silly story. not even interesting to watch. stupid acting stupid plot. totally bullshit. I don't even got involved while seeing it. i don't know why some people have given good reviews. storyline projects people killing monsters with silly looking swords.
-
I was looking for a new series to watch, then I stumbled onto Shadowhunters, it's a little silly at first but I am determined to stick it out as I heard season 2 and 3 are far better.!!!
-
The first season is pretty wooden - the acting is not the best and the whole thing feels a bit low budget. But the storyline kept me watching. Season 2 and 3 are a massive improvement and I love them. It is worth watching Season 1 for the story and to get to the much better later seasons.
-
If I had not read the books I think I would have enjoyed this series. Clary and jace are perfect to be honest and when I think of the books I think of them. The others however are nothing like the books. The Tv has added people raved swapped people. The story line has been changed so much from the books it's actually a SIN. When a story is this good it should be so easy to make a movie or to show from it. Who ever made this to show cannot read or literally tried to destroy the books.
