Spin-Off Creator(s) Reviews
Season One
The Season 1 finale Forever Young was highly acclaimed as the best episode of the series. It featured the wedding of Temperance's mother Brenda to Tristan, but mainly focused on the birth of Jake and Jackie's daughter, and Anna's hit-and-run, and Temperance's sister Mikayla coming back into her life.
Season Two
Many thought that in the beginning of the season the show had lost its luster, although that changed after the episode Fade to Black, which was well-received by many. Some thought the show stumbled a bit during Dream a Little Dream of Me, and a bit as well during Express Yourself, but made its comeback soon after, and since then has been on a stride of high-quality (besides, perhaps, Sing, which was not very well-received). The vampire storyline has divided fans of the show, some loving it, some being indifferent towards it. The storyline between Anna and Molly has been well-received by everyone who follows the show, and the Seth and Heather relationship has also received praise.
