Review of The Order

This show has a good mix of supernatural, revenge, teen drama etc... All the normal characteristics of these type of shows and does it fairly well but is not the best. Certain parts are smart, werewolves being made from hides, and magic taking years and years to really do much with it. It makes more sense than most other shows in this respect. My 2 real problem is a lot of the plot is easily guessable. Such as the "hero" wins and the villain loses. No real surprise there and it was not outdone in any crazy fashion. The biggest kick is the ending. yes it was surprising, making sure everyone forgets everything but to me this almost killed the show instantly. It basically made the entire 1st season USELESS. The entire season was a waste to watch if it is thrown away right in the end. Even though there is a 99% chance everyone will remember somehow half the season will probably be focused on this, the other half on everyone being pissed at each other and then season 2 will most likely be a wash. In reality, I feel that this season's ending is a cop-out that makes the next season's plot fairly predictable without many avenues they can climb through.

I feel the acting is overall very good, the story is fast but it is tolerable but if season 2 goes into an annoyed as hell Jack I feel that it is just too predictable and will not be enjoyable to watch. Others may like the ending but for what it brings next season will probably hurt the show a lot. I am guessing the next season will also be somewhere around a 6/10 if it makes it around. Hopefully I will be wrong but I still think this show is ruined.

*Lastly I feel the ending was also like a show ending finale, if you washed everyone's memory so they could live a happy life it would have been ok but this was not the case*
