This show is cheesy, cringe-worthy, and the humorous/witty moments aren't on-point. It's the whole package. Some people may like the show for exactly that, and to be fair, it wasn't as bad as some people may say/found it to be, in their opinion. But for those who don't and didn't, well, that's the case with the first season. All of that changes in the second season.


And maybe it is due to hindsight, but I look back at the first season in a different light. My ratings for the episodes of the first season were all over the place, as was what I wrote up for each one, but I do somewhat remember that I found it enjoyable but I didn't like it.


But the first season was merely an introduction and establishment phase of what's to come. And there was a lot of improvement with the second season. The humorous and/or the witty moments were all of a sudden on-point and not cheesy or cringe-worthy. Plus, they were much smoother and effortless. I got immersed and invested very quickly. It was great. Oh, and the quality increased a lot. That seems to be how Netflix rolls. They use an average budget for every individual show, which probably varies depending on the show, to test the waters and if they're satisfied, they hand out a renewal along with an increased budget. In some cases, depending on the show, the difference can be significant. So, if one of the issues you had with the first season is about that, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the second season.


Honestly, now that I think about it, the concept of the show is pretty cool. Not to mention, there are a lot of cool aspects to the show. The mythology surrounding everything. The characters that are easy to grow attached/grow a liking to or accustomed to, and in the opposite sense, as well. I've grown attached and accustomed to the characters and the show itself so much after watching the second season, I'm surprised at myself. It made me raise my rating of the show to an eight when I gave it a seven that was closer to a six back when I finished watching the first season. The second season was that good.


The only downside is that the show, as a whole, comes off as cheesy and whatnot. If that wasn't enough, it's the type of show where its demographic aim is at a younger audience or whatever, like a teen drama, which I don't think this show is, technically, because the setting is in college. And that ends up sticking and becomes a turn-off to where you won't continue watching it if there were more seasons. But if you were to give the second season a shot, you may change your mind.

**MY THOUGHTS ON THE ORDER:**

_**-WARNING: Spoilers Below-**_

As a previous comment had stated... Don't expect too much from this. The first season was decent but unfortunately the second season wasn't near as good. In fact the second season was really bad. I had to force myself to watch it and I still to this day don't understand why I made myself finish it.

What annoys me the most about The Order is that it actually had quite a lot of potential. There were some great cast members and at times the writing was pretty damn good, they just decided to ruin it. Alyssa is possibly one of the worst characters in a show that I have watched and the actress doesn't pay the character any favours. Besides season 1 I really can't see too many positives about the show.

I do think the show is worth watching just for season one though, I actually really enjoyed the first season. If you're big on the fantasy genre and love werewolves then you'll definitely like the first season, second season I'm not too sure thought. Unfortunately I can understand why this show got cancelled and I actually don't feel like it was the wrong decisions, I think it was the correct one - Just like killing Alyssa's character was the correct decision. Unfortunately some shows are just better off being cancelled instead of them sailing a dead ship.

Overall this show is only worth the watch if you are extremely bored and have no idea what to watch. Please do not expect too much though because I promise you, you will be disappointed.

**Overall rating: 6/10**
**(The only reason it's given a 6 and not lower is because I really liked season 1.)**

It's not bad.
The show itself is a rollercoaster experience, with each season a shocking twist at the end.
While season 1 barely showed much appearances of the Knights' werewolf forms until near the end of the last episode, they had more appearances in season 2.
And you know, ironically, I couldn't stand Gabrielle in season 1, but in season 2 she starts to grow on you!
The same can't be said with Alyssa though. To be honest, while I was shocked that she died near the end of season 2, I wasn't that sad - I really couldn't stand her at that point. It wasn't really about her getting her magic back as it was yearning to follow ANYONE; Edward, the Sons of Prometheus, Salvador. Like a stray dog following you home! Kind of pathetic. Yeah, did NOT like her in season 2.

But the show itself was not bad. I wonder how season 3 will be like...?
