I have nothing new to add in this review that someone hasn't already said: fantastic show with a rough start. I almost stopped watching because a lot of ppl said they liked it after the pilot but I didn't like it until episode 4. After rewatching, it's not that the first 3 episodes are bad, it's that they're slow and are almost purely for building the world and characters, rather than really advancing much plot. That being said, the plot that they start with is rather jarring to try to jump into even with the background information they give, because they dole a lot out of out piece by piece or rather episode by episode. The special effects are definitely cheesy, but you get used to them pretty quick and they don't negate from the amazing writing. The characters trade witty barbs like it's currency and that's what really made me love it along with the clearly concerted effort to have a diverse cast without making it look like it was a legal requirement. If you're a fan of Buffy, Lost Girl, or Supernatural then you should give this a real chance and I can almost guarantee you'll enjoy it.
