So I made an account just to review this because I saw a lot of people whine a lot about this TVShow.
The first 2 episodes were just to help you understand the characters a bit. When I watch shows, I have a rule and I call it "the 3 episode rule". It's as the name states, if I do not enjoy something by 3 episodes, I stop watching it. This show has gotten me hooked during the 3rd episode!
It's pretty much a combination of supernatural but with a wider spectrum. The acting is OK but it certainly watchable and isn't that bad where people make it out to be (I have seen over 500 TV shows and this is by far very good compared to many) and the only really thing that started to bother me was the part where there are 2 gay men. Ever since being "gay" was allowed by law, TV shows had started to have these stupid and necessary scenes of a gay person being with another. I don't have an issue with gay people in general, but when you force it down through our throats like that in a TV show, it really gets me on my nerves. This is probably the only thing I hated about this show.
Now, let's get to some business and talk about the show itself.
Essentially you have hunters who kill "monsters". The depth of each character gets better and better during each episode, after the first 2 episodes. It helps you understand both sides of the story which allows for you to really connect to the characters more than you should have. I'll leave it at that because I don't want to spoil anything and add spoil tags.
This is a really top notch Netflix show and I do not understand what all the fuss is about. This is usually why I don't make a conclusion until after the 3 episode rule because some shows can start off a bit weird and quirky.
If you plan to watch this show, please give it a chance until the END of episode 3. I will tell you right now that the first 2 episodes does not represent the whole show at all. The atmosphere changes quite rapidly in each episode, which is actually a relief. You don't have any stupid 10 season stories that talk about 1 story and keeps you confused for 10+ years till they finally fill in the gaps, but by that time you had lost interest. This show tells you everything straight up, there is no confusion at all in every episode. I have never seen such crybaby's reviewing a show before they watch the whole thing.
Would I recommend this show to anyone? Yes! It is a good time waster, although a generic story, it is still very interesting to see. Not once was I bored watching this show.
