Review of Shadowhunters

Shadowhunters (2016–2019)
3/10
Here's the TLDR review
19 May 2016
Whoever is adapting the book to this show is applying story telling standards used back in the 80's and 90's. It drags your nose through the conclusions. It makes actors state the obvious. Choices made that might seem hair pulling levels of stupid have no development and make the characters stupid.

This quality of writing, directing, plodding might be okay for the ages 5 through 10 crowd but it needs to grow up quickly. The naive protagonist becoming wise super champion journey has been played out countless times coupled by I hate to say poor delivery that at least early buffy made up for in humour this is soup made with water and potatoes.

Suggestion: Wait on it. If they make it to a third season they might have something worth watching.
