The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself

So I went into this with not many expectations, and every episode sucked me in deeper.
Every time a series has 3 main characters, I often only get really interested in one of them, sometimes 2 if it's a longer running series. But this series has me interested in all three of the main characters by the end of season 1. Great job and can't wait for more of this!

These were some cool witches!

genuinely an amazing show! every episode just got better but yet it got canceled not even a month after release. :(

This was surprisingly good. The adaptation from the book HALF BAD, was well written, with both wit and gravitas. The suspense was constant. The performances were fully conceived and the young cast, who were all new to me, never missed a beat. Unfortunately, despite favourable response by both critics and audience, Netflix will not be renewing it. It does, however, fare well as a stand alone piece. The season arc has a conclusion. I give this series an 8 (really well done) out of 10. [Fantasy Adventure]

So endlessly tired of netflix vacuuming up awesome source material, flake out on a cliffhanger and then get all prissy when they don’t get three million views in a week and decide it’s not profitable to make another season. THEN STOP MAKING THOSE ENDINGS. I fucking loved this and would have gladly watched another two seasons.

Very nicely done. many actors were quite good, and a couple so so. Isobel Jones was a perfect sadistic antagonist, for example, but Roisin Murphy should stick to singing and songwriting.
The story was interesting, if occasionally predictable, and the characters mostly believable. Not bad for tv. I'd watch another season

The soundtrack is goddamn elite.

The type of Netflix series that would seem like it would get cancelled because of the potential it has of being quite good. The pacing is so good, you learn about the characters and the type of mystical world they live in. I love the fantasy elements, mixed in with what could be a semi-realistic reality. There are a lot of things that I wish were done differently, less on the nose, but the graphics and storytelling easily make this binge-able. It needs a season two. The only reason it drops in ratings is because, for the journey we went on, it needs a season two. Don't let the poo title put you off.

The story is great and the actors did a good job. However, one could tell that they had a low budget. CGI was subpar and fight scenes were underwhelming considering the powers they had.
