Can’t believe you omitted Harry Shum Jr as Magnus. He’s more well known than most of those actors.

I came to this article just so I can hear about Harry Shum Jr and he wasn’t mentioned.

This is so awesome: as a Cordcutter, I’ve been working on ways to watch this show when it premieres in January. As a Netflix user – NOT a PROBLEM. Also, a MUCH broader potential audience = greater likelihood of renewal.

I’m sure most international hard core fans of this series were starting to think of some ways to watch this show that were probably not legal. Not that we wanted to search for it all over the internet, we just want to see it. So thank you again for thinking about us and setting this up for us.

thank you Netflix! I’m so glad that I can watch Shadowhunters in Australia:)
