It's soapy and action-packed while still paying attention to developing its characters, the typical ABC Family Freeform mix of elements that's proved successful with its audience so far.

McNamara does her best, but Clary has been written as all breeze and no storm, which makes her central relationship with Jace more an algorithm of attractiveness than chemistry. Decter appears far more interested in Revelations than revelation, and in his rush to get to the "good stuff" he has forgotten that this kind of stuff is good only when it takes a while to get there.
The pilot is so bloated, attempting as it does to relay all the rules of its fictional universe through nauseatingly clunky dialogue and disorienting time- and location-jumps (including some to freaking Chernobyl, where the series’ big bad has randomly chosen to camp out), that it’s difficult to make sense of anything going on, but here are the basics.
A dull YA fantasy adventure that takes itself so excruciatingly seriously it invites mockery.
Not even the directorial efforts of McG can salvage what’s happening here. There are some mild action sequences, but they don’t do much to elevate the proceedings.
Not fun enough to be trashy and not resonant enough to make you care.... Lordy, is it silly--and worse, it lacks the wit or sharp self-awareness to own up to its campiness or help make its melodramatic elements more palatable.
Absolutely loved it. Characters develop during the different episodes, there's some pretty good acting and the concepts are interesting. Soundtrack's amazing. There's not a single main character, all of them get a little bit of protagonism, which is always nice. I was really upset when they decided to cancel, even after all the petitions started by the fandom. I would say that the ending (considering it was canceled) was beautiful, open and it let the audience imagine what could happen next. The chemistry between characters is fantastic.

Shadowhunters was a awesome show! I am so upset to hear its ending they left to many unanswered I am really starting to get irritated with freeform because even if the show has good reviews they still cancel it I would love to see shadowhunters come back instead of the mortal cup make it a different series.
