It took me a very, very long time to sort out my feelings about the second episode of Anne. To be honest, I’m glad I got to wait awhile before writing the review, because I needed to figure out how…
‘Shadowhunters’ 2×10 Review: ‘By the Light of Dawn’
I never thought I’d say this, but watching the midseason premiere of Shadowhunters, I actually envied all the show fans who hadn’t read the books. As an episode of a TV Show, By the Light of Dawn was epic. It…
‘Shadowhunters’ 2×09 Review: ‘Bound by Blood’
I’m not ready to give up on Shadowhunters. I probably never will, to be honest. I mean, I sat through all of season 1 and did not for one second lose hope that it would one day blossom into a…
‘Shadowhunters’ 2×08 Review: ‘Love is the Devil’

Slowly but surely, Shadowhunters seems to be finding its stride. In this second season, the cinematography has been good, the acting has gotten much better, the script has improved considerably since the premiere, and the plot isn’t totally dumb anymore.…
‘Shadowhunters’ 2×06 Review: ‘Iron Sisters’

‘Shadowhunters’ 2×05 Review: ‘Dust and Shadows’
Shadowhunters is at its best when it focuses on its characters, and Dust and Shadows demonstrated that. The character moments were amazing: Jace and Clary’s chemistry continues to be amazing, Alec just about stole every scene he was in, and…
Shadowhunters Needs to Fix its Shapeshifting Rune
Of all the senseless additions to the Shadow World that Shadowhunters has introduced over its first two seasons, the shapeshifting rune – that useful little mark that allows all our nephilim characters to seamlessly disguise themselves as other people –…
‘Shadowhunters’ 2×04 Review: ‘Day of Wrath’
I went into episode four, Day of Wrath, with more hope than I’ve had about Shadowhunters in a very long time. This was the first episode with the new show-runners, who I’d heard pretty good things about. I wasn’t expecting…
