If you have any doubts, give this show a try. As much as it has it's female lead, it also has an equal amount of male lead. I honestly believe it's men and women, working together for a better cause. It also doesn't do the opposite, where the female lead just waits for her hot vampire boyfriend. The middle - Because the show has a strong complex female lead, it get a lot of unwarranted criticism about it's "women empowerment" and I beg to differ! Women are not acting masculine and men are not disempowered in this show, unlike many other stories in recent media (comics, book, other TV shows). Eretria might be my favorite female character ever. They really did an excellent job on this, perhaps it's even on par with Stargate. World building is the greatest quality this show has. I never felt like a character died before it needed to do what it's supposed to do.
You really get what motives the character to act like it does and what makes it do the things that it does and say. The good - The show isn't afraid of killing characters, even ones you were introduced to from the start, which what sets it apart from Twilight, and especially Shadowhunters (both books and the tv show) and what gives it even more purpose, sense of danger goes well with the other mature themes that it has. Some of the time to finish the arc the character has to die. Character arcs and especially character development only really happen to the supporting roles. Some might call it a bit "edgy" (very slightly though in my taste) but not to the point where it seems too strained, and it really depends if you're bothered by that or not. The bad - The show is aimed at a younger audience, as in teens to young adults, but it has a mature theme. I'll also address some of the criticism this show gets here. There are reasons why it's not a perfect 10, and I'll eloborate about it below. I'm glad to admit that I care! It's not perfect, it has it's downfalls, but this show is very special. I'm extremely picky when it comes to watching shows.
