“Travis Yanan” has read the pilot script for The CW’s Betwixt and for the most part, seems to like it.
Here’s a brief excerpt:
It seems that Betwixt has been designed to lead out of The Vampire Diaries (a series that, if you’ll recall, I was incredibly harsh on in its pilot stages – both script and screener – but have absolutely fallen in love with as the show took off after a bumpy first couple of episodes). You’ve got the mystical element. You’ve got a sense of history / show mythology that promises to go much deeper. You’ve got high school characters and love triangles a plenty to see what actually works between the cast. You’ve got some dark flair (actually, Betwixt is a lot darker on its surface than Vampire Diaries, with a lead character making some pretty dark choices by episode’s end).
