First I want to start by saying I waited until I saw a few episodes before I wrote a review. It seems like there's a lot of criticism from people who haven't given the show a chance. Which tells me they never went into it with an open mind. This is something I've never seen before, black female witches on a television streaming service, not Youtube, not some random website but an actual TV service. That's big on its own. The story is well written and the main actors are amazing. A few of the side characters are a little green but not bad, and yes some of the special effects aren't the best. HOWEVER! This is not a MARVEL TV show, you can't expect them to have that kind of budget from a network that's taking a big chance on something that's never been done. If the show is successful they'll probably get more money and that kind of stuff will improve. (Just like the first season of Shadow Hunters, those effects were sad but it was much better as the series went on.)
People should be paying attention to the writing and the acting. There are some great characters and I love the bonding between the women on this show. At its heart, it's a show about black women with some supernatural aspects. Which I love! I'm excited to see where the story takes the characters and how the villains come into play. I really hope it gets a season 2. People should actually watch the show through and not be so quick to judge based on a few minutes or the trailer and come with an open mind not looking for negatives. And remember that people can only do what they can do with the budget they have. If we don't support these kinds of shows you'll never see anything like this again!
