Season 1: Every time I start to get into the show, I'm just let down. In both TVD and TO, I was questioning if vampires, werewolves and such were actually real lol. Now, I just finished watching episode 5 and I'm just over it. A dragon girl just got killed off. A girl puking her guts out from getting devoured by a spider, a so called human protector gargoyle, and now it looks like a swamp monster is on the loose. None of these actors actually care about their roles, and they have no glamour look just like your average kids, filters suck, special effects look too far on the cheap budget, omg I can go on and on. I tried not to make my review a repeat of most of the other reviews I read, but the fact is that some of those people seem to have taken the words out of my mouth. TOTAL FATALITY.
Update for season 2, a year later. I'm watching it just so I can say "I watched it". It's terrible. It couldn't be any cornier, and as before, Julie is die hard on trying her best to sort of mimic the old school 70s and 80s monsters which didn't exactly have modern graphics or cosmetics. Not to mention trying to add an episode of a mock Frogger game with the 80s hair and clothes. I get that trends go around and come back around every 20-30 years, but nice try, it's practically like 'Stranger Things' which was a total copied idea of 'Firestarter' starring a young Drew Barrymore.
Anyway, I'm totally disgusted with season 2 as well, even though it looks like Julie at least tried to get a little real life drama and dialogue between the actors. It's still super cheesy attempt to copy old school shows. I don't even want to see what people think about Legacies 10-15 years from now. EPIC FAIL.
