I didn't watch this show until last year because I never really watched cable tv and such, but I did end up watching it when I saw it was on Netflix. it's a flipping amazing show, I never read the books until after i watched the show but the writers put the essence of the books without making it feel like I'm just watching an exact visual reenactment of the book. LOVED ALEC AND MAGNUS'S CHARACTERS AND ACTORS. I mean at first, the graphics were weird and the acting was a bit bad BUUUUTTTTT when they got more comfortable with their character and such they gave it their all into the show and it was so beautiful. especially season 3, UGH I LOVED IT, I got so mad when I heard it got cancelled because I got so comfortable in the fandom, I'm pretty sure I cried for 3 hours when I found out, ANYWAYS, #SAVESHADOWHUNTERS my babies deserve better
