PeterL.Jun 21, 201010Best Drama of this genre without the obvious sexual overtones so prominent with so many series of this type of genre. More of a storyline with believable characters. A lot of potential for a hit series in my book or is it television.

MadgeH.Jun 21, 20106Sure, it's completely derivative, and, as one reviewer said, totally seems like a mash up of Desperate Housewives and Twilight. But, it's summer, and we don't have anything else, so what the heck, why not just enjoy it? If you don't think about it too much, then you might find yourself decently entertained. I liked it enough to want to watch the next episode.

MarianneD.Jun 21, 20109I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Loved all the sub plots and the writing. Will be on my TIVO for the summer Sunday's at 10.

ElaineB.Jun 20, 20104This show seems to center alot around high school drama. The new guy likes this girl, girl's boyfriend is jealous blah blah blah, and then there are witches. ZZZ.

Sep 6, 201010This is such a great program! I look forward to watching every week. I can't believe there are rumors that The Gates is going to be cancelled? Big mistake. Cancel some of the reality shows instead. Bring The Gates back next season!!!

Sep 20, 201010The Gtaes is an outstanding show from the acting to the plot writing. This is by far much more than a summer filler and superior to any crappy reality show. A first rate drama that has it all.

Sep 22, 20108Awesome show!! Mixture of drama, sci-fi, romance...just a little bit of everything to satisfy almost everyone. Love the characters & the authors have been great with leaving you hanging until the next show. I hope this one doesn't get cancelled like so many of the ABC shows lately! This show is definitely a change from the typical cop, or medical shows that have been taking up the schedules.

Oct 5, 201010Nice new mystery show....started slowly but really caught me then. Nice actors (Luke Mably and Rhona Mitra), very different characters and a good story.

Apr 16, 20119This is an interesting series. The writers have done well to create a supernatural yet domestic tv show. I have a 14yr old son and a 48 yr old husband, they both enjoy the show. As a woman and as a tv watcher i would be disappointed if this show was cancelled

And so hate that i will not know the end to the serious since now it is canceled .the critics undoubtly don,t know what they are talking about. i so wish someone would pick this show up and finish it i want to know the end .

Nov 7, 20117too bad this series won't live to see another season, it was entertaining to watch, kept me glued to the tv for sometime. However, it lacks excitement that makes people want more. Characters are not bad, but i think writing should be better.

42The Gates is ultimately just another literary mashup with the undead, like Jane Austen's "Pride & Prejudice" tweaked with zombies, only here it's a stifling John Cheever story with bloodsuckers.
-
63The Gates actually moves along at a brisk enough clip, and though it's bland around the edges, it introduces enough mysteries to keep things more or less interesting (there are allusions to a "code" residents must live by, and presumably that doesn't refer to local regulations on lawn care).
-
58Oh, sure, they can pierce necks and drink blood: Big deal! Any ol' vampire can do that. With a limited repertoire of vampire moves, the Radcliffs shoulda moved to Bon Temps instead of the Gates to learn some new tricks.
