    The acting gets better, the dialogs get better (although it still has some cringy moments it's not as bad as the first two episodes), the pacing is also improved and it's not as rushed as the pilot (which was understandable, it's a pilot).

    More Alec and Isabelle in this episode is also a bonus. Their acting is really good, especially Matthew Daddario as Alec.

    The CGI and practical effects still suck, but that's expected with ABC Family. I'm sure if they make more seasons it will also get better. Remember that Teen Wolf and The Vampire Diaries also had bad first season CGI.

    The pilot was okay, the second episode was a massive disappointment, but this one was a big improvement. It still had some flaws, but a lot less than the first two episode. This show is starting to reach its potential, which is great.

    Writing isn't as cringe-worthy and it's not so rushed and here, for the first time in the show, this feels like a much bigger world as it should be and I really liked it. The faithfulness to the source material is still pretty well done and I liked that they are keeping the most important parts of the story. It does play out in a different way, but it still happens. Unfaithfulness is what I was really afraid of, but now I don't feel like that anymore and I'm very positive about the show again. Also, I really like that they included the flying motorbike scene, which wasn't even in the movie and it was a really pleasant surprise seeing it here. Effects can still get better, but it's still just a beginning. I really liked this episode and I think it's pretty clear that I'm very optimistic about this show again. Now I can't wait for the next episode!

    Tbh the first episode of Shadowhunters was a huge turn-off, with the overall bad quality of the acting,effects, among others. The changes(like making their place be like a background from FBI quarters,like seriously? x.x) didn't really help either! However it seems that gradually the acting and the effects are improving, which goes to show that they are getting to know how to exploit the potential over there. As a big fan(the books had me hooked),i'm content with this and continue to hope they'll keep on improving and not stray too much from the books(and maybe try to amend the óverly 'çrowded FBI/mission impossible quarters background'and all the tech,which in my opinion is just too much) I was really skeptical about Camille and Raphael but the actors did justice tot the characters :'] Finally some chemistry(sparks?) between Clary and Jace,Milliorn was not as bad as i thought he''s be and Simon's being pulled off great!Im giving this a generous rating also because i want this to continue(hopefully will keep on improving) #TMI <3
