The highlight of Freeform's Motherland: Fort Salem is its portrayal of women: powerful, assertive, embracing their sexuality, and willing to show their faults as a part of their strength Whether out of duty, honor, enjoyment, or even blatant power-seeking, they are not shamed for any of it This creates such a wonderful parallel against our[...]

The season finale of Motherland: Fort Salem was a perfect lead into the second season for the recently-renewed Freeform series Many questions were answered, with some of those answers leading into some rather interesting new questions (and concerns) "Witchbomb" ended up being a silly string can of surprises: some more predictable than others, but still[...]

This week brings us a new episode of Freeform's Motherland: Fort Salem and while it finally emphasized the sense of urgency, it also left me wanting more in a sense that it felt like there were some things missing that I needed to make it a satisfying watch However, maybe because there is so much[...]

This week's episode of Freeform's Motherland: Fort Salem continued right where it left off, packed with action and showing just how far our witches have evolved with their training As always, we get some inconsistencies with our "rebel" heroine but we also see how much the other two have grown We witness some particular nastiness[...]

This week, Freeform's Motherland: Fort Salem finally brings us the urgency and pacing we have been craving This episode has been the best one so far, putting our witches-in-training in a situation even professors at Hogwarts would cringe at Viewers finally get a chance to see our threesome in a bit of action and showing[...]

This week's episode of Freeform's Motherland: Fort Salem sparks up something very important that I need to address: viewers need to start having a serious conversation about Raelle (Taylor Hickson) Her petulant character continues to take the attention away from the matters at hand and distracts from the storyline with no real character development While[...]

The fifth episode of Freeform's Motherland Fort Salem was a frustrating shocker The episode was filled with teen angst and it was saved by a very surprising and gory ending It was an episode to give viewers more of this witches' world, their wedding customs, and more of an understanding of how this matriarchal society[...]

Last episode of Freeform's Motherland: Fort Salem picked up right where it let off previously, and it was packed with lots of little details and world-building The show feels like it is starting to pick up and tension is building faster There are still a lot of questions that have yet to be answered Viewers[...]

The second episode of Freeform's Motherland: Fort Salem is much more concise and feels more linear—not sure how to explain it Pretty sure it might be since our main characters have probably been introduced, our story can move freely and smoothly.  Though I am still a bit confused about the way time seems to be[...]

Okay – we're not gonna' lie: the opening scene to Freeform's Motherland: Fort Salem completely caught us off-guard That terrorist attack by The Spree was so disturbingly horrific, it had me checking to see if something screwed up and I was watching American Horror Story The series doesn't exactly believe in the term "subtle" –[...]
