Sherwood is Jace who is a leader in the Shadowhunter world and is required to come across as a bit of a douche. But overall, I think she does a good job of anchoring / leading the show alongside Sherwood, they have a good connection together, but I don’t necessarily know about chemistry so far. But in the beginning, some of the tears and sadness felt forced and out of place. But since I have seen Kat in Arrow I knew that she goes on to become a great actor and I believe that her foundation came from this show.

But, in the beginning the acting is terrible, I don’t mean to be cruel, but damn, I struggled in the first 4 or so episodes to get though everything I was looking at. The acting in the show does improve as the show continues and goes past the opening episodes. (I know in some territories the last was split in 2, so I will see what the content is like before making a decision)
#SHADOW HUNTER SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 SERIES#
If anyone else is added to the cast as the series continues, I will mention them in that particular seasons review! As there are just the 3 seasons, there will be 3 / 4 reviews.

(At least I think these are going to be the 5 main characters who will last throughout the run of the show). The show stars Katherine McNamara in the main role as Clary Fray, Dominic Sherwood as Jace Wayland, Alberto Rosende is Simon Lewis, Matthew Daddario is Alec Lightwood and Emeraude Toubia is Isabelle Lightwood. The series was on Freeform in the US and released via Netflix internationally. Then the show had a new chance with the release of this tv show to go on and become the success that the films never managed to be! For any wondering it is based on a series of books created by Cassandra Clare. This was the 2nd adaption of this franchise after a failed film in 2013 which it had been hoped would spawn a series similar to The Hunger Games but after it failed to recoup its budget, it was cancelled. Shadowhunters was a tv show that aired beginning in 2016 and ending in 2019 after a cancellation due to distribution issues for the show.
