Review of Salem

Salem (2014–2017)
5/10
Boring and bad atmosphere throughout the series...
23 April 2014
To be honest when i saw the trailer and poster for this series (and the plot) i thought it was going to be epic and maybe a new favorite series. It actually destroyed, crushed and smashed my expectations and threw it into the sewer. It reminds me of the series 'terra nova' it looked promising and eventually it bored the hell out of me. When we talk about a series which has to show historical facts and stories told through many years about those times, i Really don't care whether it's accurate or not, as long as it is epic and enjoyable to watch. This show is the apposite of everything i just told (inacurate also..).

The actors are a 5/10 because there are much worse out there and they didn't really give me that caring feeling about their 'characters'. The cinematography of 'Salem' is pretty okay, considering the fact that there are other shows out there with a lesser budget doing better. I mean the "trailer" or teaser looked really promising and all of a sudden you realize it's piece of trash show.

To be honest i'm not really looking forward to the next episode, duo the fact that i can only imagine that it's going to be as bad and dull as the first episode (i doubt that their going to prove me wrong).

I gave the show a 5/10 for the so called "effort" they put in. Other than that and only by seeing the first episode i can't really recommend this series to anyone out their who value their time, but that's only my opinion and you can go and check it out for yourself.
