I recently finished watching The Secret Circle<\/a><\/em> on Tubi for free. The CW really shouldn’t have cancelled this series. Yes, a series focused on high school kids already old enough to drive doesn’t have a bit window before jumping the shark, but the ending episode of season 2 set this up for a shiny good season 3 that never came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witches without elders to teach them who are also riding the hormonal river of high school can have all kinds of trope\/cliche drama and there was a bit of that. What saved it is the main characters could really act!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Britt Robertson<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This girl is really believable. Yes, she had a lot of lines, but she also had a lot of that stupid stuff which is difficult for a newb\/young actor. You know, that “green screen” kind of stuff where one holds out their hand looking like they are really concentrating and muttering some words to cast a spell. You have to trust they are going to put in special effects so you don’t look that stupid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoebe Tonkin<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This girl’s facial expressions rule. She plays the bad girl at heart, but shows a soft side once in a while. You gotta watch the series to see what I mean by the facial expressions. Here, you can get a brief glimpse in this promo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
