‘Shadowhunters’ 2×16 Review: ‘Day of Atonement’
Day of Atonement was a bit of a filler episode. And yet, it was as good a filler episode as Shadowhunters could have done. It was interesting, it provided great development for the characters and their relationships, and some of…
‘Shadowhunters’ 2×15 Review: ‘A Problem of Memory’
I kind of want every episode of Shadowhunters to be like A Problem of Memory. It was ridiculous and slightly cringey at times, but it was fun. I laughed almost the entire way through. It had all the fun of…
‘Shadowhunters’ 2×14 Review: ‘The Fair Folk’
I’ve said this so many times before about Shadowhunters, but it really is uncanny how this show always manages to defy my expectations no matter what they are. After Those of Demon Blood, I thought I had finally figured this…
‘Shadowhunters’ 2×13 Review: ‘Those of Demon Blood’
Shadowhunters has been me feel a lot of different things in the last year and a half. Frustration and disappointment, mainly, but also anticipation. Pride when it actually gets something right. Love for these characters. Sadness on their behalf. What…

‘Shadowhunters’ 2×11 Review: ‘Mea Maxima Culpa’
Oh, the joys of season (or in this case, mid-season) premieres. They’re always my favourite episodes of every season, because they hold so much promise. I haven’t been worn down by a full season of ridiculousness, bad CGI and cringey…
Anne With An ‘E’ 1×06 Review: Remorse Is the Poison of Life
We knew from the beginning that Anne With An ‘E’ was going to be a more modern take on the Anne of Green Gables story. Feminist themes have been made more explicit, and most of the additions to the story…
Anne With An ‘E’ 1×04 Review: An Inward Treasure Born
If there’s one thing Anne With An ‘E’ has gotten right in these first four episodes, it’s characterization. This version of Anne Shirley has all of the book character’s boundless imagination and stubborn pride. Marilla is every bit as layered,…
