ShadowDog Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 This was supposed to be retarded. Bad in the not good way of Sharknado or Z Nation. In fact, the only reason I watched the pilot was because the show followed me on Twitter so I felt like I owed them. But then something funny happened. It didn't suck. In fact, it's the most fun I've had watching a genre show since Early Eureka. It's just ... fun, man. It's not whacky just to be whacky, it's not filled with trying too hard one liners. It's a show that's having so much fun that the audience can't help but have fun too. Don't get me wrong, it's not high art either. The plots, effects, and mythology are average to above average at best. But that's okay because in a tv landscape of so many shows taking themselves so ****ing seriously it's really nice to have a show actually having fun. Episode 3 airs tonight. Try it out.

ShadowDog Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 The great great granddaughter of Wyatt Earp has a 12 inch long demon killing Colt and it's her legacy to fight demons like her ancestors before her. Basically its like if Buffy and Supernatual had a baby and it was raised by Bruce Campbell's Ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I saw the preview, and it looks far to ridiculous to devote even 10 minutes of my precious time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I've heard really, really good things about this show from a few sources. I keep meaning to catch up. Are the videos on syfy.com? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm sure it's on the website Icy I saw the preview, and it looks far to ridiculous to devote even 10 minutes of my precious time.I had the exact same reaction going into it. Literally the only reason I watched the pilot was the show's twitter account followed me so I felt like I owed them a fair shot. Had it sucked ass, though, I would have bailed. I'm far top busy to watch garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowDog Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 I honestly didn't expect to like it based on the promos. It looked really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Whenever I see a show that looks bad, but that I suspect might actually be fun, you almost always are the one who takes one for the team to check it out and report back. That's a shadowdog show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowDog Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 It's got me wanting to check out the comic. I tried the novel The Magicians after that series was good and so far the novel is excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
