So I finally (finally being 2 days, yes im that addicted to pilot season) got around to watching "The Secret Circle" CW's new teeny bopper fantasy/magic new series.
Secret Circle is about a girl Cassie whose mother dies and she moves with her grandmother to a small town where she discovers she is part of an ancient legacy of witches, but with this revelation she also discovers there is danger coming her way.
I know the story line sounds like pretty much every B-movie ever made for television but after watching the pilot I found it to be pretty much like the love child of "The Craft" with "Pretty Little Liars" there is magic with a secret that keeps you compelled to keep watching
So gotta say...not hating it. Much like "Vampire Diaries" I expected the pilot to be cliché, with bad acting and special effects that would make Ed Wood tremble, yet I was pleasantly surprised by finding the story intriguing (mainly thanks to the parents of the main characters and their involvement in the mystery), the acting (even though they are teens on the CW network), not horrible I mean better than must and with some surprises; Phoebe Tunkin who plays Faye the reckless, selfish one of the group is a pleasure to watch and I'm thinking she should replace the main character, lets just make the series about her and call it "All about Faye". The special effects are better than most (*cough* Ringer *cough) and the cinematography itself its pretty standard for a mystery tv series.
Anyway if you don't find the theme of magic annoying and/or watching teen series (either because you are a teen or have the mind of a teen, like me) this is definitely a must see to keep you eye out.
