I do like Mena Suvari. I also like Eli Roth. But I also like a good story and South of Hell unfortunately, does not offer one.I watched the first 3 episodes and could not take anymore. Maybe it's me but there was not a single character that I wanted to spend another episode with. There are so many better shows out there to spend time with. There is a voice-over for almost each entire episode that does not add value to the story and there was a lack of character development. The one thing that I did find interesting was that the first scene of the premiere episode felt like it dropped you into the middle of a scene. It caught me off guard as I thought maybe I had missed a previous episode. This was an original opening or at least one that I had not seen before. Unfortunately, that was it for originality.Do yourself a favour and bypass this as I don't think anyone will find it worth their while to spend approximately 6 hours of their life watching this.

Tedious Melodrama with some demonic serving on top. It has the back and fort circular tragic nonsense copy pasted from the pulp series Supernatural. Except it tries to be the dark and profound version of that forgettable pleasure, forgoing any humour or light pop corn moments the series might have had. No monsters, no lore: a single multi layered tragedy that doesn't captivate. It tries to be a dark and sinister crawl, gives up on that around episode 4 and then bashes your brain pan in with repetitive junk. You'd best skip this one.

I was a bit excited to hear of this. It could be a nice addition to all the horror and fantasy I usually watch. I hate to say that it is dead inside. Bad grime and cheap fun lenses. The special effects are horrible. I read that somebody said that they just need a bigger budget, but I'm afraid that that's not it. You can build more suspense with less budget. What I saw was cheesy and bad choices in grime.Even if they can look better with more budget, they have to work on the chemistry between the actors. There was none. They were saying lines and not reacting to one and other. The storyline.. was there a storyline? I got the feeling they all just sat around for thing to just happen.I'm not recommending this show to anyone, unless you like cheesy hallmark series and like to be naughty for once, and not be damaged inside.

If you can imagine Mena Suvari fan - thats me. I have watched everything shes done and was really looking forward for "South Of Hell". But its just huge disappointment.First, this is so not a role for her and I keep wondering why is she keep going for completely wrong ones. Mena, you have your looks thats gonna do things for you, make it happen. This Maria role reminded me even on Buffy Summers, but Mena isn't cute - she beautiful and hence - it wont work! Second - script is just plain bad. It does have some potential, but later it goes in many directions and we have only seven episodes - not much. Third - my God, who are rest of the actors - just terrible, with few exceptions. And that wont include Lydia Hearst, who's incredible hot, but come on, just a little effort. But shes looking even good in comparison to Zachary Booth - the weak spot in this show. Everything he does is just bad to the point of comical - and he even has a role of narrator! Wow, dude, were you bored or just trying to sound cool? Don't do it again, please.In the end, this feels, looks and IT IS - low budget, rushed project that could be better, but it wont, I cant see it getting into season two. I'm happy for opportunity to watch Mena Suvari, but she needs new manager, agent and new inspiration. She is somewhat talented and she got to offer more than just her good looks, but this is clearly not right choice and it wasn't for few years now. Going for horror after all shes done is so not promising. but thats just me speaking career-wise; in her interviews she always sounds happy about herself, and I guess thats all that matters. As a fan, I feel like she could done a lot better and she still can. Time to play grown-up woman now Mena.
