Not gonna lie. When this started I was rolling my eyes so hard I almost gave myself a concussion. It started getting weirder and crazier with each minute and I became hooked. Seemed like the acting got better, but I'm not sure if it was just me enjoying the show. If you like the magicians, or underworld I say give it a shot. If you don't? Leave it be.

I must be the only one that actually loves this new show. I love everything about it. The story, the characters, and twists and turns.

I am really enjoying this show so far. If you liked shows like Vampire Diaries, Originals, Supernatural, and the like I think you will enjoy this show. It has laughs and I really like Pops. I say give it a chance and you wont be disappointed.

10 years ago this show would have been a hit, but today with the quality bar is this high this show comes as a mediacor experience, the characters are almost 2 dimensional and they don't bring much to the table, the cliches are almost tired and the story is a repeat at best, but it is quite watchable and I don't see it as not coming as a cult tv. Maybe season 2 will bring a much more depth to the plot , hopefully

Despite being a series that caught my attention (I, who generally I'm not a fan of vampire nor werewolf stories), that featured its good tension and comedic moments, and a good music score, I feel that The Order suffered from several shortcomings since the outset.

The series' major flaw is related to the plot development, given the fact that during the two seasons, it was painfully clear that the pacing was struggling to settle firmly and was not done in the best way (especially in Season 2's finale, which was very anti-climatic). Consequently, it left more questions than answers, as well as a very bittersweet experience.

Another problem with the series is the chemistry and relationship factors between the characters, because although the main characters had a solid interaction, the same cannot be said when coming to the recurring ones, because it was lagging at times.

And last but not least, although I have a moderate stance regarding the social agenda, it seemed to me that it was not a good idea to implement too much of it in the series, since a balance must be maintained with respect to the audiences, mostly because not all will have the same convictions or opinions regarding certain topics.

Only time will determine if The Order gets rescued by another TV network and renewed for a third season...But for now, I doubt it.

It is fun, I like it, not going to get into a long winded essay...it was a great binge watch, hoping for next season!

I have absolutely no idea why I started watching this. When it comes to some of Netflix's most recent supernatural sci-fi shows, they just weren't doing it for me. I had completely lost interest. So yeah, not sure why I even clicked on it. But I'm sure glad I did. The story has been done before but some of the details are quite unique. I absolutely love the concept of The Knights of Saint Christopher! Such a cool spin on things. The characters are clever and witty, which I appreciate greatly. And the drama isn't "CW style", if you get what I'm saying. It's actually pretty complex. So yeah, I enjoy this show a lot. Now a fan of Dennis Heaton and his crew 👍

Out to avenge his mother's death, a college student pledges to a secret order and lands in a war between werewolves and practitioners of dark magic.

Supernatural teen drama blends genres well, is entertaining. The story line is awesome between revenge and life, love and hate, war and peace. Two sides working for the same cause without trust.

The goofy humor is interwoven into the plot to produce stories that are not just surprisingly funny, but genuinely surprising.

With engaging characters and with several compelling paths set before its protagonist, this show has legs if it plays its cards right. Very much looking forward to a new season of The Order . Good TV

This show is mediocre at best. I only keep watching because I'm a big supernatural/fantasy fan. Other than that, the acting is horrible, the two main characters are so f annoying, writing is low quality and plot is one big hole itself.

All in all, it's a nice dark fantasy ride with a LOT of nonsense.

Reminds me of vampire suck. Lol . I like that this tv show doesn't take itself too seriously and gave me a good laugh every now and then. I loved the werewolf hide concept and found all the werewolves likeable. Like game of thrones it's not afraid to kill off some characters when you least expect it!!!

If you skim the reviews, people either love it(10) or hate it(1). There is not a 5 in the bunch. There is a good over arch plot with small twists along the way. No where as serious as The Magicians. But not overly soap opera. It doesn't take itself to seriously, but it is serious to the jaundra.

I enjoy supernatural themed shows and am willing to give leeway to the campy like Buffy so long as it's worth the watch. This took an interesting premise and effed it up. The characters are all moronic. The acting... even more so. I stopped listening to the dialogue and kept this on as background noise, just to see where it went.

The twist right at the end of the series was a good move! It was doubly shocking given how incredibly stupid the rest of the series was. It was the only thing that will get me to check out season 2. Hopefully they hire better writers and an acting coach. Also this show is proof being pretty is not enough to keep a show afloat.

This show is cheesy, cringe-worthy, and the humorous/witty moments aren't on-point. It's the whole package. Some people may like the show for exactly that, and to be fair, it wasn't as bad as some people may say/found it to be, in their opinion. But for those who don't and didn't, well, that's the case with the first season. All of that changes in the second season.

And maybe it is due to hindsight, but I look back at the first season in a different light. My ratings for the episodes of the first season were all over the place, as was what I wrote up for each one, but I do somewhat remember that I found it enjoyable but I didn't like it.

But the first season was merely an introduction and establishment phase of what's to come. And there was a lot of improvement with the second season. The humorous and/or the witty moments were all of a sudden on-point and not cheesy or cringe-worthy. Plus, they were much smoother and effortless. I got immersed and invested very quickly. It was great. Oh, and the quality increased a lot. That seems to be how Netflix rolls. They use an average budget for every individual show, which probably varies depending on the show, to test the waters and if they're satisfied, they hand out a renewal along with an increased budget. In some cases, depending on the show, the difference can be significant. So, if one of the issues you had with the first season is about that, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the second season.

Honestly, now that I think about it, the concept of the show is pretty cool. Not to mention, there are a lot of cool aspects to the show. The mythology surrounding everything. The characters that are easy to grow attached/grow a liking to or accustomed to, and in the opposite sense, as well. I've grown attached and accustomed to the characters and the show itself so much after watching the second season, I'm surprised at myself. It made me raise my rating of the show to an eight when I gave it a seven that was closer to a six back when I finished watching the first season. The second season was that good.

The only downside is that the show, as a whole, comes off as cheesy and whatnot. If that wasn't enough, it's the type of show where its demographic aim is at a younger audience or whatever, like a teen drama, which I don't think this show is, technically, because the setting is in college. And that ends up sticking and becomes a turn-off to where you won't continue watching it if there were more seasons. But if you were to give the second season a shot, you may change your mind.

I think this show could do better. I like this show, it's enjoyable, the actors are good (i might have a crush on Alyssa 😂) but the storytelling is too fast and too convenient. Maybe a clear background story may help the audience understand the characters more. Oh, and the ending is so heartbreaking. Looking forward for a season 2.

Loving this series. It has it all, action, werewolves, witches, magic etc. Highly recommend.

I give Netflix an E for effort. The school reminds me of Brakebills in The Magicians, but instead of being a school where everyone is magical and different ages are accepted, Belgraves is a normal college, except for a few students who can do magic. It is about an Order and the new members cater to the older ones, just like in a frat or a sorority. The difference is the main character, Jack, who wants to expose the order as the cause of his mother's death, but gets caught in the middle of something he didn't expect when the primary mission was to get into Belgraves and the order. The show is different, but yet similar to the other shows and movies about magic where the main character or characters enter into a school to learn magic or already know how to do it and refine their abilities.

It has all the ingredients to lure me in. But the storytelling is so lazy, the dialogue bad and the acting basic. They could have upped the campyness and created something amusing, or tightened the story and not rely so heavily on the stereotypes to create something interesting. As it is now it falls in the middle, not campy enough to be fun and not well done enough to be taken seriously.

I have to admit after seeing the trailer I wasn't expecting much but decided I would at least give it a chance, at least 1 episode. Well....1 episode turned to 2 episodes...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10. I binged the whole season in 1 sitting and I have to say between this and The Umbrella Academy, I don't know which has been the biggest surprise for me.

I loved Randall and Lilith more than the main characters. They are the reason why i finished this show.

Netflix seems to be doing this a lot, but the trailer doesn't represent this show at all. It makes it seem like it's a completely different genre of show, and attracts the wrong audience.

The show itself isn't bad. There's overacting, weird plot developments, and all that stuff, but it is at least engaging, if you like things like the current Supernatural episodes. The trailer just completely misrepresented what it is.

You start a series with expectations, ready to give it a chance, whatever genre it represents. In this case, a supernatural one; well, so far, halfway through season 1, all I saw was an atroce screenplay and storyline with some teen and adult insect characters lurking around and filling the episodes up in the most awful fashions. A blend of raw prehistoricly-felt events coupled with modern stuff, like cell phones and cheesy messages, one after the other, as fillers, then some mindless conversations, again as fillers, and the list goes on...

Usually, I don't show such harshness, but in the case of The Order, viewers soon find out that there is nothing to root for, no acting, no real story, no quality, no nothing, let alone the fateful ending that's expected to be terrible. It is just a shallow, hollow sets of pictures weaved together with some cute girls and guys.

It probably has appeal to teenagers with raging hormones and a love for supernatural. I understand that and won't judge them. Everybody was a teenager once. They will soon grow up, look back at this show, the sensations they felt and smile gently at their younger self.
