Shadowhunters Review


Shadowhunters is centered around 18 year old Clary Fray whose world gets turned upside down on her 18th birthday when she witnesses Shadowhunters kill a demon at a club and her mother disappears. Shadowhunters can only be seen by other shadowhunters or people of the shadow world. The shadow world can be summed up with "all of the stories are true." Jace Wayland, one of the shadowhunters, follows Clary because he wants to know how she sees them. They find out that her she is a shadowhunter and her mother has been hiding this from her for her entire life. Clary's mother Jocelyn has been taken by the evil Valentine who is after a power instrument called the Mortal Cup. Clary must learn the ways of the shadow world in order to save her mother and find out who she is.

This show is crazy and so addicting! The cast brings these incredible characters to life in a thrilling way. Kat is meant to play the role of Clary Fray- she's spectacular. Dom kills it as Jace Wayland and Matt brings Alec Lightwood to life flawlessly. Em is so fearless, sexy, and badass as Izzy it's unbelievable and Alberto makes you desperately wish Simon Lewis was your best friend.


The creators of the show clearly worked very hard to bring this world to life on the small screen and it doesn't go unnoticed. The episodes get more and more thrilling as the season goes on and I cannot wait for season 2! Thank you to Freeform for bringing this awesome series to life. 

I highly recommend watching it!! I give it 5 stars.
