Shadowhunters - The Fair Folk TV review

Alec (Matthew Daddario) begins his new role as head of the Institute by setting up a council for the downworlders and inviting representatives of each faction to attend and discuss grievances. His next course of action is to send Jace (Dominic Sherwood) and Clary (Katherine McNamara), and tag-along Simon (Alberto Rosende), to the fairy realm to talk with the Seelie Queen (Lola Flanery) about the recent murders of Shadowhunters by one of her people. The Seelies’ reputation for machinations and games proves to be true as a simple game forces a wedge between Simon and Clary by exposing Clary and Jace’s feelings for each other. While the main goal is nothing more than creating chaos among the three, it’s obvious that the Seelie Queen has big plans for Simon which don’t involve the vampire having a Shadowhunter girlfriend.

Shadowhunters - Those of Demon Blood TV review

When Shadowhunters begin showing up dead from apparent attacks by werewolves, vampires, and warlocks some believe that the downworlders are taking revenge for recent events. The Claive’s overreaction of first demanding DNA samples and then attempting to forcibly implant GPS tracking chips in all downworlders only raises tension even further and even raises trust issues between the Shadowhunters and their closest friends. After starting the ball rolling, Inquisitor Herondale (Mimi Kuzyk) leaves events and the Institute in the hands of Jace (Dominic Sherwood) who Clary (Katherine McNamara) can’t believe is so willing to go along with his new mother’s edicts. The themes of the episode are a big hamfisted, but they do reinforce the fragile truce between the various groups and the underling resentments ready to boil over at even the smallest provocation.

Shadowhunters - You Are Not Your Own TV review

While Simon (Alberto Rosende) is given the shock of learning that Clary (Katherine McNamara) and Jace (Dominic Sherwood) aren’t brother and sister, and Alec (Matthew Daddario) is surprised to learn that Magnus (Harry Shum Jr.) and Valentine (Alan Van Sprang) have switched bodies, the biggest bombshell is dropped on Jace who discovers his true paternity. Most of “You Are Not Your Own” centers around the body switch that almost every character is unaware of, or fails to believe. The torture at the hands of the Claive while in Valentine’s body isn’t likely to help Magnus’ relationship with any of the Shadowhunters. Thing get basically set back to normal by the end of the episode, but will have to see how much fallout the temporary switch makes on Magnus and Valentine respectively.

Shadowhunters - Mea Maxima Culpa #tvreview

The end of the regular TV season and the slow roll-out of summer premieres has led me to give Shadowhunters another chance. Nothing has changed much since I last checked in on the show. Despite being captrued by the Institute Valentine (Alan Van Sprang) continues to scheme about collecting all the Mortal Instruments, the Institute remains remarkably dim when it comes to listening to its prize students, and Clary (Katherine McNamara) and Jace‘s (Dominic Sherwood) relationship hasn’t gotten any less complicated now that they apparently aren’t siblings (umm…what?). There are a few new storylines since I last peeked in, the first involves the new threat of the greater demon Azazel (Brett Donahue) wreaking havoc in the world and Isabelle‘s (Emeraude Toubia) addiction to vampire venom putting her in danger and meeting a new friend in a London Shadowhunter named Sebastian (Will Tudor).

Shadowhunters - The Guilty Blood TV review

Given the fallout from last year’s cliffhanger, Shadowhunters spends most of its season premiere resetting the world now that Jace (Dominic Sherwood) is in the clutches of Valentine (Alan Van Sprang) and the new head of the Institute (Nick Sagar) has branded the missing Shadowhunter a traitor – although his true allegiance is still very much in doubt. His mother attempting to kill him in the final scene, however, isn’t likely to entice him to return to the Clave any time soon. Although the truth about his birth from his father gives Jace just as many reasons to run screaming from his father.
