Featured review
Is it a 7 or Is it a 3?
Sanctuary depicts an alternate reality where witchcraft is real, and is marginally accepted by society albeit with heavy legal regulations.
This series has several positives. Production depicts a village well, and frames the storyline for that feeling of closeness. Acting is solid across the cast. Direction holds the tension well, leading me to watch as many episodes in a row that I could. (I started watching after 3 episodes were already available.)
The series has some negatives that do deter from the viewing experience. After the first couple episodes, the series falls into stereotypes of prejudice, propoganda, and fear. The characters become shells of people propelled only by the motivations that matter for the plotting. The second half showcases how bigotry and selfishness fuel hatred. And here comes the drudgery that inches the last 3 episodes to the finish.
What started as an interesting perspective on outsiders turned into a cliched depiction of all the tropes of said outsider parables that the original trilogy of the X-Men films did lamely but adequately. This series just starts beating us over the head with differences and hatred are "bad."
