On her birthday, Clary Fray discovers a surprise concerning her life. The teenager is not who she thinks she is -- she comes from a long line of human-angel hybrids, called Shadowhunters, who hunt demons. After her mother is kidnapped, Clary is thrust into the world of demon-hunting. Clary relies on mysterious Jace and fellow hunters Isabelle and Alec to help her navigate the dark world. While living in this new world among creatures like vampires and werewolves, Clary's best friend Simon helps her uncover answers that could help her find her mother. The fantasy show is based on a series of young adult books by Cassandra Clare.

Cade Taylor Tell-Tale TV "Beside Still Water" is an excellent end to the second half of Season 2 of Shadowhunters and only makes me look forward to Season 3 even more. Rated: 5/5 Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Mandy Treccia TV Source Magazine How much does it suck that Jace Wayland was better off when he thought he was an orphan? Jace's familial struggles and the mission to find him-dead or alive-dominated the season two premiere of Shadowhunters. Jan 18, 2019 Full Review Justin Carreiro TV Fanatic Shadowhunters Season 2, as a whole, was an emotionally-filled, character-driven thrill ride. And I loved it. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Andy Swift TV Line I really hope Simon and Maia get a chance to hash things out in next week's finale, or else this is going to be one long hiatus. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Molly Freeman Screen Rant However, Shadowhunters still struggles to find its grounding point in a world too flooded by supernatural creatures, mythologies, and motivations. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Poppy-Jay Palmer SciFiNow The show is still incredibly cheesy, but that's part of its charm. Rated: 4/5 Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Alex T A refreshing step up from season one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review Sean C Loved all three seasons. Shame it finished. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/23 Full Review Audience Member If I had not read the books I think I would have enjoyed this series. Clary and jace are perfect to be honest and when I think of the books I think of them. The others however are nothing like the books. The Tv has added people raved swapped people. The story line has been changed so much from the books it's actually a SIN. When a story is this good it should be so easy to make a movie or to show from it. Who ever made this to show cannot read or literally tried to destroy the books. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member pretty good, interesting world with different species Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 2 gets so much better and the storyline and effects just keep improving Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Honestly it shouldn't have ended... the only reason i can think of of why it ended is that the show was not known widely Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
