The show does leave something to be desired from a storytelling perspective. To be honest I wouldn't stick with it if not for the potential of Malec. I really hope I won't be left disappointed. Past experience dictates that whenever they hype up something they inevitably don't come close to fulfilling what they implied they would. At least in the meantime we have Matthew Daddario's beautiful face to look at ... and is that hair I see on his chest? I can hardly believe it! Has someone withdrawn the manscaping mandate on American TV?

In what universe would a guy that looks like Matthew ever find himself in unrequited love? He's super handsome. The height and the hairiness are a bonus.

That's what makes Malec that much more significant. It really is such a complex love story, with Alec being a shadowhunters and Magnus being a warlock. Talk about scandalous... Have you read the books? But then again, it makes sense why it's unrequited love when he loves the idea of loving that person (won't spoil it) rather than trying a REAL relationship.

They did shave his hands for the runes.

I actually didn't think the pilot was that bad. I mean.. it wasn't perfect, but it was ok. It wasn't as terrible as people are claiming. I was just a bit shocked that it was dubbed in my native language. I didn't expect dubbing to be involved. It's basically unheard of in my country, except of course if it's a kids show. I guess this is a kids show? Hmm.. I would have preferred to watch it in English with subtitles but oh well.

They were trying for a 'True Blood' vibe, tbh

It's not like in Spain or France where they dub all tv shows. We usually have subtitles, but no dubbing. I was just so confused by the dubbing, maybe it's just an option though, maybe it's possible to get subtitles instead idk, I'll have to see.

You can change the language on netflix, so you does'nt need to watch it in your own language

Shadowhunters: The series sounds amazing already, but before it premieres on Netflix, the series will premiere on ABC Family on January 13th, 2016. The Shadowhunters series will premiere on Netflix the following day, January 14th, 2016. The sad new is that the U.S. is completely excluded from receiving this glorious new series, at least for now. The U.S. is often the first country to receive a new series or film, and the other countries usually get the content within the next few months. We are thinking this could be a possibility, so the U.S. may not completely miss out, but as of now, the U.S. is excluded from receiving Shadowhunters.

I want so much to like this show but the dialogue is killing me. For example, when Clary was speaking to Jace after he rescued her in the first episode - she was asking for his help to find her mother and he says something along the lines of, "I'm the only hope you've got." She responds: "I don't even know you." And this is only one example. For the most part it's bearable but I'm not sure if I can last a whole season of it.

After watching the second episode, I am still underwhelmed. I think several of the actors, including the Clary actress are rather weak. Matthew Daddario so far seems to be one of the few on the show who isn't just phoning it in. My other problem with the show is that it seems like they are doing way too much world-building - and a rather clunky job of it, in too short a time.
I am hoping to see more of Magnus - as there just has not been enough yet to know what is going on with Harry's character.

I thought this episode was slightly better than the last two, but I find the scenes between Jace and Clarie still horribly cheesy and predictable. But I loved the secenes with Simon, he's so adorkable. :-)
