The Descent is Easy: A Shadowhunters Podcast

Website - Tumblr - Twitter Our Season 2a round up turned into a monster, so tDiE 19a discusses our main characters, with a fun game and many, many a hat!  For listening ease, we have listed where each character discussion starts, so you have natural stopping places or can skip straight to the characters you want to hear about  Luke: 5.57 Maia: 22.14 Izzy: 32.45 Jocelyn: 50.50 Valentine: 52.40 Raph...

Website - Tumblr - Twitter By the Light of Dawn, the Season 2a finale, leads us to discuss the weirdness of half seasons and half seasons finales, like two grannies complaining that 'this kind of thing didn't happen when we were young…'. We spend a lot of this episode talking about diversity and representation on television, take a stroll down memory lane reminiscing about BBC's Merlin , turn into...

Website - Tumblr - Twitter We discuss Bound By Blood, in which, turns out, many things are weird and/or uncomfortable. Alec's random stab in the dark guess at his boyfriend's age is weird. Maia decision to kill Clary is uncomfortable. Aldertree is weird and uncomfortable (No surprise there). Luke's decision to lock Maia in a cupboard to punish her is off the charts uncomfortable… And then we open...

Website - Tumblr - Twitter This episode is unreasonably long. Sorry about that! Turns out brilliant Malec & Climon relationship development, a party put on by Mr. Bane, sangria, lots of cats, Lightwood family drama, sangria, drug addiction and, oh yes, a suicide attempt, will do that to a podcast.  Have we mentioned the sangria?  We had a vote and the majority wanted the episode in one go, rather...

Website - Tumblr - Twitter We discuss this episodes truly lovely structure, the many ways in which we love Maia Roberts, weird relationship advice courtesy of Jace Wayland-Lightwood-Morganstern, how Maia is wonderful, Isabelle's poor life choices... and oh yeah, that scene, y'know,  that one . Did we mention that we love Maia?    

Website - Tumblr - Twitter In which Clary is as pure as the driven special snowflake she is, Izzy's purity pool is as black as her soul, and Jace is a... well... there is simply no PG way to call Jace a co**block, but that's what he is.  Also? Magnus and Alec go on a date!   

Website - Tumblr - Twitter A beautifully filmed, directed and acted epsiode, picking right up from the high standards set last week by the entire Shadowhunters team.  We discuss pain, self-harm, loss, grief, death... This episode of tDiE is an absolute laugh riot, basically. For a bit of levity, we do also debate Harry Shum Jr's height, the warlock case files and Alec's willingness to do anything...

Website - Tumblr - Twitter In which Jace is suicidal, the Clave continue to be a despicable organisation, Izzy discovers Yin Fen, Magnus' back story is further explored, Alec & Clary are forced to work together - which is always delightful - and difficult choices have to be made by all of our core cast.  This episode is jam packed with character development, poignant revelations, beautiful cinemat...

Website - Tumblr - Twitter In which Jace is having a seriously bad day; Magnus is awesome; Clary finally shows up for a best friend;  and we hope that Matt Daddario caught up on his rest this week.  In addition we discuss this whole parabatai thing, sleeping beauty analogies, and all the many ways in which we are done with Jocelyn. Last but by no means least... Maia's here everybody!!! As discusse...

Website - Tumblr - Twitter In which Alec continues spiraling, Jace is being pushed to murder more Downworlders, Clary runs into walls no matter where she turns and the only thing that cheers us up is Magnus and Simon going on a wacky adventure to India.    

Website - Tumblr - Twitter Kicking off with season 2 - in which everything is shiny and everything hurts. Alec's a mess, Magnus has turned the catty up to 11, Izzy's the best sister anyone could have, and Jace's ability to take a punch is put to the test. Ouch.   

Website - Tumblr - Twitter In which we discuss the characters, plot arcs, locations and much more of Season 1, and what we are looking forward to in Season 2  We also talk about our (only slightly) Shadowhunter themed trip to New York, in which we visited various book and TV locations. Keep your eyes open for the blog post with photographs coming your way soon. We put the locations on a google map...

Website - Tumblr - Twitter   Final Episode of Season 1!   Where we discuss the Malec of it all, including fandom portmanteaus, outfit choices made by Magnus and Jace throughout the episode and, of course, The Kiss. We then wrap up the season with Valentine and Jace setting sail on the HMS Evil... Cheerful!   

Website - Tumblr - Twitter Quick break down of the 2017 New York Comic Con Shadowhunters panel and the first teaser trailer for season 3. Spoilerific episode, so avoid if you have not finished season 2 or wish to remain spoiler free for season 3!  

Website - Tumblr - Twitter   Where we discuss the logic of portals, that the law is the law and the joy of Alternative Universes, before we are surprised by meeting Jace's dad. Who is also Clary's dad.  Curve ball!    Big kudos to MalecCrazedAuthor on tumblr for the fantastic timeline she has put together for S1 and S2 of the show. Check it out HERE

Website - Tumblr - Twitter In Episode 5 Clary wavers on whether to vamp or not to vamp Simon. We meet Lydia, who it turns out we like in spite of her encouraging Alec to make dubious decisions for the both of them. We end the episode with the Downworld united, the Parabatai separated and us contemplating hitting the whiskey to drown our sorrows. 

Website - Tumblr - Twitter In episode 4, we get excited about Izzy's transformation and Magnus's potion brewing; Alec pulls a disappearing act; Clary is a little frustrating; we wax lyrical about Alberto Rosende, and discuss the implications of our first big kiss...

Website - Tumblr - Twitter Episode 3, in which we debate if Brooklyn is the only borough with a High Warlock, before we get into the friction between Maryse and pretty much everyone; discuss Clary, Simon, and Alec making an odd trio, and the weird vampire stuff still going on with Simon...

Website - Tumblr - Twitter This episode discusses eps 2 & 3 of Shadowhunters - in which Clary becomes Action! Clary, Simon gets captured by vampires despite being genre aware, and Jace explains that vampires really know how to frame a narrative...     

We begin with the pilot, episode 1, The Mortal Cup. We're off to a full throttle start with a jam packed episode.  We'd love to know your thoughts! Chat with us: Website - Tumblr - Twitter
