South of Hell

This is a new type of supernatural show that has promise but is lacking in execution regarding the story. This is mostly in part because the story is lacking in depth. This show seems to rely on a "Pivotal" moment of triumph regarding human nature triumph and or the main characters eating of a demon. But we all know in this day and age that we need that little bit of extra spark to cloud the usual bad versus evil and some flashy end to make it all seem worth while. It is hard to drum that up I know but writers need to think outside the box of story lines they grew up with to win a crowd to please the evil cop. Exec's. This show does have potential ….it really does I just hope the writers see it before it gets cancelled.

I was a bit excited to hear of this. It could be a nice addition to all the horror and fantasy I usually watch.

I hate to say that it is dead inside. Bad grime and cheap fun lenses. The special effects are horrible. I read that somebody said that they just need a bigger budget, but I'm afraid that that's not it. You can build more suspense with less budget. What I saw was cheesy and bad choices in grime.

Even if they can look better with more budget, they have to work on the chemistry between the actors. There was none. They were saying lines and not reacting to one and other. The storyline.. was there a storyline? I got the feeling they all just sat around for thing to just happen.

I'm not recommending this show to anyone, unless you like cheesy hallmark series and like to be naughty for once, and not be damaged inside.

The whole season was so boring plus the demon thing doesn't suit well. Although you can watch it if you want a timepass series.

The accents are laughable, borderline bad, forced and inconsistent. The acting is not so great. This is probably due to the writing. I'm into just the second episode. The special effects are good enough to make you almost gag at times - for example when Annabel eats. I love Annabel's eyes. The way they portray the characters possessed is slightly different.

At this point, however, I am starting to root for Annabel and the demons.

And what is up with the mild mannered, cool and collective, sometimes strong arms, persistent priest? Is he really a Catholic priest, priest or just some guy pretending to be one?

And not in a good way ... which I guess when we're speaking of Hell would be a good thing ... but it isn't really. And it is a shame. Because while again someone prematurely rated and reviewed this "claiming this had potential" (at least partly true - the quoted statement), this really never was as engaging as it might have gotten.

Maybe it is because the formula is known. It does remind of other shows, like Buffy or anything similar you may have experienced already. Now of course that does not mean, the show has no right to exist. Copying something good but putting a twist to it or just making it accessible ... that is all we need. And while this isn't bad, it also never takes off either. Add to that an ending to the show that cries for it to be continued ... but as we know it got canceled ... so even if you liked this way better than I did (and I enjoyed parts of this), the ending will be frustrating to say the least
