October Faction

The cringeworthy, stereotypical teens REALLY need to be rewritten. It's as if the writers don't know how to combine apathetic, privileged, tuned out teenagers convincingly.

The storyline has promise and if you can hang in past the 3rd episode, the series starts to pick up. A little more background on the "monsters" would be helpful. As well as showing a few more creatures would help.

Only half way through & I keep asking myself why am I still watching... I like the overall premise of a monster fighting family, but the annoying moody twins are so cringe worthy. In fact all the teens are stereotypical & annoying AF ! Get rid of the teens or at least make them likeable & give us more monsters !!!

I read the comic and found out that it was going to be a show, and with how much I enjoyed how Netflix did Umbrella Academy I was excited for it. Firstly, as someone who was /waiting/ for this show, I had no idea it was even out until this very moment. It's been out for nearly three months already, and I haven't seen any advertisements or anyone talking about it, and as I'm ready to start episode five I can see why. Normally I'm good with slow burns, but I feel like absolutely nothing is happening, finally now it's starting to pick up near the end of episode four but I've already lost interest and am struggling to even keep going. I try to keep an open mind with everything, but just simply put, this show is boring and I'm so disappointed in what they did to it. And with what CGI I've seen so far, it's subpar. Honestly, this show seems like it was meant to be put on the CW rather than something produced by Netflix, it's just unfortunate that an interesting, enjoyable comic was made into...this. I'll finish the season off, but I can understand why it was already canceled.

Updated: I finally made myself watch past episode 2, and while I maintain the disappointment of seeing a potential great show tarnished by bad cast choices and poor adaptation from the Gtaphic Novel, in the end I was somewhat entertained. I hope they do better in season 2 if they ever get one. And since I think opinions are not immutable gave 2 more stars, from 5 to 7.

Love the premise of the show and the colors. The acting is suferable at best, this show with a different cast would be a hit.

Are teenagers starting to write the scripts. Most of the negative comments on here are spot on.
