Review of The Order

The Order (2019–2020)
6/10
Not the worst, not the best either
12 December 2020
Despite being a series that caught my attention (I, who generally I'm not a fan of vampire nor werewolf stories), that featured its good tension and comedic moments, and a good music score, I feel that The Order suffered from several shortcomings since the outset.

The series' major flaw is related to the plot development, given the fact that during the two seasons, it was painfully clear that the pacing was struggling to settle firmly and was not done in the best way (especially in Season 2's finale, which was very anti-climatic). Consequently, it left more questions than answers, as well as a very bittersweet experience.

Another problem with the series is the chemistry and relationship factors between the characters, because although the main characters had a solid interaction, the same cannot be said when coming to the recurring ones, because it was lagging at times.

And last but not least, although I have a moderate stance regarding the social agenda, it seemed to me that it was not a good idea to implement too much of it in the series, since a balance must be maintained with respect to the audiences, mostly because not all will have the same convictions or opinions regarding certain topics.

Only time will determine if The Order gets rescued by another TV network and renewed for a third season...But for now, I doubt it.
