	Media	Author	Review
		James Poniewozik The New York Times	"It’s too moody and self-serious for a pulpy action show in which monsters dissolve into hot sparks when stabbed. Part of the problem is the script, and part is performance."
		Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer	"A dull YA fantasy adventure that takes itself so excruciatingly seriously it invites mockery."
		Tim Grierson The Wrap	"Not fun enough to be trashy and not resonant enough to make you care."
		Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"'Shadowhunters' proves that gorgeous actors, demons and CG weapons don't make a show."
