Well I enjoyed the first episode really enjoying the characters to come to life and how the connection was between them. But, am I the only one who thinks they are rushing it and leaving out some little important details? Like the little detail that Clary should have killed the demon that was attacking her, not Jace. like in the book. I think that this is kinda fun in the books, because Alec hasn't killed any Demons and then there's that random girl who isn't Shadowhunter jet and he already have killed a demon. And why doesn't Valentine have any hair? I always imagined him with blond hair and a lot younger. And why is there so many people in the church!!! It's like CIA secret base (yes, I know that's what they wanted to do, but still way to many people).
Now it feels like I'm just complaining about the first episode, but I actually enjoined it. I was "angry" at some details, but maybe it's just that when you already know the story and have imagend it in your own way, it's harder to accept some things that are different. But I like that they are older in the series than in the books. For me they always seamed at wrong age in the book and the good thing is that we can see a little bit more action from Jocelyn, as in the books she was mostly just under the potion effect.
