Wicked City

Its giving Sunset Beach BTEC. The production and quality is awful. The concept is great and could have displayed the history and power of Hoodoo and Voodoo showing its art and magical effects but if anything, goes against every fact about African magick and turns it into a show that does it no justice. This is a waste of production. This is like another really bad Tyler Perry production that shouldn't even of had made it to the screen. The special effects were awful, the acting below mediocre and overall just very unnecessary. I hope in future black directors and producers do their research about their concept before going ahead and making the script.

Even if it were a soap opera or telenovela, the over-acted melodrama is cloyingly interfering. At times the dialog and interactions put it on par with YA-bordering on juvenile-programming.

It's like a repackaged new age children's series trying to wear mommy's makeup and adding in some PG/R rated themes and hallucinogens in attempt to hook some adult attention.

It might be summarized as an ALLBLACK wannabe version of Charmed, but even less "believable".

If it hadn't been for the uniqueness for the target audience and niche network, I sincerely doubt it could have survived long enough to air the first season without being kicked to the curb. Even the attempts at new age fantasy schlock fall short.

It's cool for the most part. The acting is decent and sometimes over kill as usual. Started off stupid, but it got better. I get it, a bunch of women coming into their powers and trying their best to overcome obstacles and find answers. A newcomer that doesn't know she's a witch (nothing new at all) An eager to jumpstart her powers witch that is childlike and annoying at times. A grounded one. A sexual one. A mature one. Yay you have your coven. A mentor that basically shuns the newcomer until b.s. Starts to happen now the explanation starts when all of this could've been avoided instead of hiding the truth. I despise lazy writing. Anyway I gave it a 5 just because. It's not bad, but like I said...i despise lazy writing.

Love the show besides Jordan's character. I had to fast forward through alot of her parts because her character is soooo annoying I couldn't take it. How did they even get through filming this & not see that no one wants to constantly see & hear how she acts? It's not entertaining. If the storyline wasn't so good I would have completely stopped watching it because of that one character. It's that bad.

For fans of fantasy and sci-fi, this show has potential and I guess we need to see where it goes. Hopefully it will start to take itself more seriously, cast members will actually speak instead of whisper, and each episode won't end with a group of screaming girls (or witches) panicking about the situation they find themselves in, cause that's already gotten old. It's the classic tale of good verses evil, although acting on the evil side is disappointing, always dressed in black and trying way to hard to appear evil. I guess we will need to wait and see although I am not holding my breath. But if the next episode ends with a bunch of screaming girls falling all over themselves screaming and panicking i am switching off.
