Fort Salem offers a beautiful world to gaze at, but it's hard to get lost inside it.March 16, 2020
The acting is fine, and even if the characters feel a little trope-y, the chemistry between all the leads in there and the visuals and world-building are top-notch.March 14, 2020
As a light-hearted Freeform teen drama, Motherland takes itself much too seriously, but as an expansive piece of supernatural alt-history, it falls far short of its ambitions.March 18, 2020
Motherland combines too many ideas in order to make one wildly confusing show that, despite its insistence otherwise, struggles to understand what "empowerment" actually means.March 13, 2020
It squanders precious opportunities to develop compelling antagonists-and that lack of complexity is even more unfortunate given that the three leads are so charismatic and well-cast.March 12, 2020
Those more pertinent narratives are nearly crushed inside the margins by shoehorned subplots such as a mishandled suicide storyline, necromancy, and pretty much anything regarding the elder witches in their command station.March 16, 2020
The types are all pretty obvious and plot turns are telegraphed well in advance, yet the show fails to clearly explain what is going on in this alternate America.March 18, 2020
A matriarchal society, the power of women's voices, and militarized witches -- in an alternate history America that's cold-blooded...it's a wholly imaginative new universe.
