She realizes that she is the only person who can see them and later learns that she’s one of a long line of demon hunters. When her mother is kidnapped, she must join other hunters to try to save her, all while learning about her new supernatural abilities. The rest of the cast includes Dominic Sherwood, Alberto Rosende, Matthew Daddario, Emeraude Toubia, Isaiah Mustafa, and Harry Shum, Jr.

What do you think? Do you like the Shadowhunters TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love the show shadowhunters i think it should br renewed for a second season
In a w few words. Ineffective casting, the worst being Valentine as a Russian Chernobyl based thug. The original plot is handled crudely and without imagination riding on the back of the original book’s invention. By contrast check out John Logan’s Penny Dreadful. Not for 15 year olds maybe but a vision made real supported by superb casting, music, production design, costumes. This series isn’t even a decent comic book version.
so true. this show is offensive to the real books.
The show is awful. I tried to stick with it for the first season to see if it’d get any better over time. It didn’t. The people who says it’s an awesome show obviously haven’t seen read the books.
I’ve read every book in the series and despite the not so great acting, I still loved the story line and thats why I continue to watch it. So im sorry despite your opinion I dont agree, therefore everyone whose read the books can have a different opinion “obviously”.
Preach
I totally agree with you. I’m a fan of such shows but it was really bad. Casting issues. I like th cast, but they weren’t suited for this role. And it seemed a lil too fake idk why.
I love this show. We need lots of seasons to follow!
I must apologize to everyone I let down, but this show has been renewed. I tried hard to get it cancelled but was unable to do so. I am so sorry that I failed to get it cancelled. To all of you who ignored what I said and watched this show, I’m also sorry. I tried to save you all from this show but I failed. To those I let down, again I am sorry. Even though I failed I will continue to fight vulgar shows and try harder to get them cancelled. Remember not to watch the Freeform show… Read more »
And who are you to say what we should and should not watch?
You can SAVE US by not commenting like this!
You tried so much to get a show cancelled?! Wow!! You must’ve lost of free time there!
If you don’t like the show, then don’t watch it! That simple! Don’t drag us around! We decide if such show is good or not!
Vulgar shows? Funny you didn’t mention Game of Thrones, which is more vulgar than any other shows you mentioned.
I love this show i dont want it cancelled
You know someone who says they hate gays is probably gay themselves and don’t waste your time telling us what shows to watch we can decide ourselves what to watch and what not to get a life
I don’t want your apology and i’m sure i’m not the only one. Not EVERYONE wanted this show canceled. Just because its a show you may not enjoy doesn’t mean others feel the same way. Regardless of its vulgarity and your opinion you have no right to speak for EVERYONE, that’s what you should be sorry for. If you don’t like it don’t watch it.
Keep the show, I know lots of people who love it.
I love the show
Please all of you stop watching this show. It is very inappropriate and needs to be cancelled.
Why is it inappropriate?
It is violent and promotes LGBTQ+ stuff.
Violent really? Well you must not be a fan of good tv then because majority has violence just like Superhero movies, lord of rings, starwars, crime dramas, zombies, 007, every action movie, terminator, Harry Potter, and so on. But by your statement especially the LGBT one going to guess you are a Christian. Guess what? So am I and no where does our God give us to right to judge individuals in this community. What they feel and desire is their personal choice and between them and God. I’m sorry but there is no one on this earth that really… Read more »
Thank you. The world needs more true Christians like you!
amen!
Dude, you should consult a psychiatrist. You seriously need help.
There’s nothing wrong with being homosexual so get your homophobic butt out the door. Btw, the bible was written by a human, not God, so until you show me proof God himself wrote it don’t talk crap. I would’ve cussed, but I’m trying to be nice 🙂
Get a life GREG! Don’t drag us with you homophobic drama! We love the show, we watch it! You don’t like like Don’t watch it and get out of here, we don’t need you comment! Bye!!!
I stopped watching it, I mean this is nothing like the real books and I’m really disappointed 🙁
despite your opinion, in whcich I dont agree, thank you for for being the only decent person on here to not force other people to stop watching it.
who are you to tell other people you don’t even know, to stop watching a tv show? educate yourself on voicing your opinion instead of forcing it on to others.
I absolutely love the shadow hunters tv series it’s way better than the movie and it is getting better with every episode. I’m hooked, I will be mad if they don’t go for a season two.
its ok…. but personally i still like the movie… it could have been better.. I don’t like the Jace here, so stiff, and clary, no emotion.. i can’t feel the chemistry between this two compared to the movie. the Jace here is so wrong. sorry. just my opinion. I’ve watched the movie so many times, the actor were really great in acting.
I absolutely loved this1st series and have read all the books. A bit cheesy but you had me hooked. Please do another series. =)
hats it rated
Sorry to say but at first shadow hunters was not bad , but now yuke …
I am done ….
I just found this show and I toldly fell in love with it at episode one it will amazing to season 2 I can’t wait and it will be disappointing if they cancel it
I am deeply in love with this TV Series! I haven’t been caught up with any kind of TV Series, except this one. I swear, they need to continue this one or else, a lot of young adults would dread. I never liked any TV Series with this kind of genre. I must admit, they really made a great job catching my attention just to really get me addicted to the Shadowhunters. I’m begging all the producers, directors, actors and such to continue this TV Series. I don’t know what to do if they fail to relaunch this series 🙁… Read more »
I love the show. I just binge watched the whole first season in one day lol I can’t wait for the next episode. ****spoiler alert**** if you haven’t seen the last episode don’t continue reading**
I am kinda peeved that valentine lied about clary and jace being brother and sister and that he is now being a jerk to clary to distance himself. Can’t wait to see how the show turns out.
I love the show!!! Super excited to see season 2!!
