Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Witches of East End is a show that after streaming you have NO QUESTION why it only lasted two seasons. While if desperate to stream a show, and you like the genre, it isn't good but it will pass the time and not so bad you can't stand it. Not a glowing endorsement, not meant to be. The characters are good enough and the story has its interesting points, but no question this is B level show. In the midst of constant horrific events, the characters are both a little to happy and way to naive; especially those who are centuries old. Way to many people get killed without any plausible link between their deaths and any concern. Like when Dash's (good name for handsome warlock) mother gets thrown into a furnace and burned up in season 1 finale and at the start of season 2 she is declared as having committed suicide. A lot of things like that where there is no logical path from point A to point B and the audience is just supposed to accept it. Rich woman in biggest mansion in town disappears and it is assumed a suicide? Not in any world. There are some good points, but a lot of obvious plots that should be obvious to the centuries old Princess but she is continuously oblivious which gets old fast. I forced myself to watch season 2 to its conclusion just so I could be sure that a) they left us hanging and b) my assessment to point held true.Watch if you REALLY need something to fill the gap, but keep your expectations low. Even Vampire Diaries season 7 and 8 are far better; setting the bar pretty low.

I have watched this show from the beginning. The writing in it, is very good. I would have to say, Jenna Tatum is a HORRIBLE actress! I am not sure how she got into the profession! The rest of the cast isn't bad, could use a little brushing up... The plot that happens in every episode,is good. I would recommend this to anyone who liked Charmed. This is as close as it gets. Just wish they would find someone else to replace Jenna Tatum! Very excited to see what happens in season 3. It's definitely worth trying out. If Jenna's acting doesn't get polished up, I probably won't be watching it anymore. Yeah it's THAT bad.... Not sure what else to write about this. It's making me put more into this then what I initially thought I would have to!

This series revolves around a family of Long Island Lock Jaw upper crust types, who also happen to be witches. So basically their little suburban dramas have the added angle of witchcraft.None of the plots make much sense. The actors, who fade in and out of various odd accents, are plastic-bland to look at and slightly worse than the average soap opera actor.The soundtrack tries to through in alt music, I guess to feel edgy, but fails because the stuff they picked is so very bland.It's OK if you need to think about something else while you wash dishes, but you'll concentrate more on the dishes than the show. Well, at least the dishes will be clean.

Many have called this a carbon copy of "Charmed". I don't think it is a carbon copy, more like a color Xerox. The novel is actually quite a bit different but not much better. But I am not here to review the book, just the ten episodes I managed to endure on Netflix. I don't think I will bother with viewing season two.First the dialog in this is horrible. I don't know anyone who attends a fancy engagement party and opens a conversation with blood sacrifices and satanic orgies. Most of the time the dialog has no subtext, it is flat and boring. There is so much repetition, in just the first few episodes, it gets hard to count how many times you hear someone say, "I lied." then the other person respond, "You lied to me?!". Finally exposition abounds in this series.The characters are transparent as glass. The players are a bit too bland and obvious. There is no good guys to cheer for or evil villains to taunt. Most everyone are homicidal, nut jobs, vengeful associates, or partners trying to coerce each other. This is normal fodder for any daytime soap in my opinion.Now as for similarities to "Charmed" two sisters who are not told of their true nature, suddenly find out they are magical creatures. They have evil past lives. Witches can't do just any old magic spell, they have special abilities. Sort of like "X-Men" they are portrayed more like mutants than witches. They live in a manor house similar in layout both interior and exterior right down to the color. Rules on magic are the same, spells of personal gain causes a backlash. A good criminal attorney is not only evil but immortal. I could go on but then I would have to attach a spoiler warning.In the end, "Witches of East End" is a waste of time. As I said, I only endured the first season to write out an honest review. Many series can have a poor episode or two per season and I didn't want to base this only on the pilot or a scant few. This series is awful from start to finish.
