While the initial premise was interesting, the film had no story and way too much sex and explicit contact. This is not a movie for SF/Horror and Thriller viewers like the premise suggests. The character is this posh girl with the brain of a child so she is technically disabled by default. She does progress in intelligence but is utimately flat in dimensions.

I love the diverse cast as well as the change to Latin spells. I hate almost everything else. Most of the reviews are accurate, just wanted to add some more of my peeves about the show. 1) Niko who should have been the lover/best-friends cop SideKick trope did not last long enough to better Andy. Her leaving felt meaningless. 2) Harry, who was one of my favorite characters that speak poorly for the show) completely failed the Leo trope. Leo, the gentle and honest angel whose touch of love heals the witches whenever they are injured. Who orbs in when they need help, but always follows their lead. Harry is completely the opposite. He's rough, and with a dark side. Yes, he's the pompous control Watcher from England sent to teach and guide Buffy (oh, wait, wrong show). 3) Macy is also one of my favorites. Mostly because she's ridiculously complicated character-wise (never mind all of the plotholes) 4) The whole "skin-thickening cause she's a demon thing" is so racist. Demons/Monsters what white people called black people long ago. They made this myth that just because we have melanin in our skin, we are less sensitive to pain. No seriously, that's what scientists believed for way too long.

I’ve watched the first two episodes three times in the day it came out. I’ve been looking forward to seeing it for weeks. That said, I applaud the gorgeous set designs, costumery, and soundtracks. They’re definitely going to win some awards. I found the filming sub par at best. I got the feeling that the cameras weren’t sure what child to focus on, what eyes to see with. There were some awkward, rather stony moments that could have been cut to save on time. I feel like the filming was too stage-like and picturesque comparing to a movie. Spoiler Alert!!! *** *** *** *** I wasn’t too sure about Kate at first, who was described to have long blonde hair, blue eyes, broad shoulders (that one was done right), and in my head, straight posture. She was a little stiff. But by the second episode, I thinks she great. Constance on the other hand, is too big and too neat. I think she could be even more intolerable, but she’s good for now. But the actress is wonderful, hilarious, talented, and maybe even the most promising of the foursome. I think Sticky is great. I have high hopes for him in later episodes, but he was casted well. I think Number Two’s a bit old (compared to Mr. Benedict) and Milligan too morose. I loved his monologue though. Not only was it overdone and wordy, but it really brought the audience in. But I do think he lost his “cool” factor. The kids seemed a bit weirded out, maybe even in a pitying way. But I saw Milligan as the sort who gained the children’s love and respect rather immediately. I also think Mr. Benedict was a too stiff and robust choice. I didn’t see him quite so genius as he should be depicted. As a man with narcolepsy, I saw him as pillowy, limp, but round like a potato. He doesn’t have to be overweight, but a disabled person who falls asleep constantly doesn’t take too many risks by standing a lot. The actor is too skinny for the disease. He needs glasses and a bigger nose… I do not like the way he delivers is lines either. But about that later. I love Reynie. My only criticism is that I feel like he needs to think more. The dialogue isn’t smart enough for the gang’s best puzzle solver. That could be fixed on the part of the screenwriter. I am convinced that he’s clever, most of the time. Just he needs more of that. I get why they added two characters (Dewey and Lindsey) to boost the impressiveness of the four. But there characters were 1 dimensional, and otherwise completely useless. They’re were a waste. I hope that this review will be found helpful.
