ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

scott-green-student Having recently read reviews about this series to the effect that it was a flop, all that comes to mind is that some other factors, other than the content, must have been at play as it was fantastic, thrilling and made me hungry for more. My eyes were glued to the television for days watching The Gates. The only issue I would raise is in regards to the werewolves- it was hilarious watching a siberian husky emerge every now and then after the shifting from human to animal. Other than this, I am hoping another season will soon be released... I can't stand it when a show ends abruptly and unfinished. This, to me, inevitably tarnishes the reputation of the actors and directors. I will wait and keep an eye out for another season though I highly doubt another will be released this long after the first. But time doesn't seem to affect film directors. To the directors, I will remember your names and try to avoid any productions you are involved in if another season is not released (being left in the dark as to what happens next really annoys me). Please reconsider releasing another season... it is just too good not to.

cscstars9 I just discovered "The Gate" now, in April 2012, through a recommendation on Netflix. Perhaps I was not watching TV that summer of 2010.I am very sorry the show was not continued. I found the acting great and the multiple story lines intriguing. I thought it especially clever that one of the vampire families is as much as, if not more than, the central interest - rather than the chief and his family.As much as I enjoy "True Blood" and "Supernatural," I did think this was a more adult-oriented series than those, as some other reviewers have noted. I wonder if the network can be persuaded to give "The Gates" another shot? (Not with my track record, I fear).

warreng_online I missed this on TV when it originally aired and THANK GOD for Netflix, I added this to my queue and came back to it. This is one awesome little series. Forget the little bio and such about vampires, werewolves and more.The basis of this series is of a private community suburb with secrets and once you learn of these secrets, there are more secrets to learn. I can't really compare this show to any other show. The writing is not over the top, but is top-notch the further you get into it.DO NOT think you are going to see GREAT transformation effects. This on the other hand has some awesome dramatic story telling that once you understand the 'rules', it is VERY intriguing. You'll love certain characters and hate certain characters. But what made this series stick out was the character Leigh Turner. for some reason, when she'd look into the camera, it was like she was 'looking' at me and as if I knew here.I eventually looked up The Gates (2010) and learned Leigh Turner was played by actress/musician Janina Gavankar. Then I looked her up and learned she was Microsoft's project: Ms. Dewey. I was so shocked and surprised, I posted it on facebook and then on twitter and within 10 minutes SHE and one of her fans FAVORITED it! It was cool, but scary at the same time. The show The Gates is awesome and I honestly and looking for more and friends are too! 10 from me and friends.

Dan Bayliss We follow the new police chief move in with his family to the Gates. A very wealthy and very private small town with some supernatural residents.What angers me about US TV is the lack of character development in place of giving you everything on a plate in the pilot. This is different. The character development and story is well written, which I haven't seen the likes of since Buffy. Even better, the police chief does everything right. You know how Captain Picard was believable, well so is this. Its supernatural and you wont find yourself saying "oh no way, this is just getting stupid now" like in Warehouse 13. Unlike Desperate Housewives this has a much broader audience for both men and women. I would never compare it to Twilight despite the werewolves and vampires, as if I had to watch that again id kill myself. Its glossy, its believable and I wont go into any more detail as you will enjoy the series more the less you know about it, but its a MUST WATCH
