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’
I didn’t have high expectations for Iron Sisters, the sixth episode of Shadowhunters season 2. But as I’ve learned over my one year of watching and writing about this show, the lower my expectations, the better the show is probably…
Dear Show Runners – There Was A Huge Issue With This Weeks Shadowhunters
You had a responsibility – one job really, to deliver good TV. No one is asking for great, no one expects Shadowhunters to win Golden Globes. No one expects anything besides a plotline that makes sense and is cohesive, words…
‘Shadowhunters’ 2×05 Review: ‘Dust and Shadows’

‘Shadowhunters’ 2×03 Review: ‘Parabatai Lost’
Remember episode three of the first season? I’m not trying to bring up bad memories, I promise. I know nobody could ever forget the total shitshow that was 1×03, or the controversy and drama that arose from it. The point…
‘Shadowhunters’ 2×02 Review: ‘A Door Into the Dark’
Is it too early to say I’m optimistic? It’s no secret that I was not a big fan of Shadowhunters season 1, aside from a select few storylines. And though the season two premiere showed a lot of promise, that…
‘Shadowhunters’ 2×01 Review: ‘This Guilty Blood’
I’m not sure what I expected from the Shadowhunters season two premiere. A small improvement over season one, I guess? I know what I was hoping for. I wanted good character scenes, better cinematography, more consistent world building and more…
