i had a blast making fun of the horrible unsubtle acting, horrible dialog and unrealistic characters to the point of it being absurd. The characters lack of care to the point of extreme ignorance or idiocy in the conclusions of the characters who do care is insane. the main character is a sociopath, the roommate blames random people with reason and no other character besides the antagonists appear like they will affect the plot at all. the bad guys just the bad guy. the plot wont be more than "was it you, NOPE" even though its too obvious who it is. i cared none for a missing character with one line being kidnapped by an idiot who doesn't think his evil plan far enough to clear out her possessions. everyone are bipolar to the point there is no fluency, although that appears to be the acting more so than the writing. acting that cant even crack tears or have a tone that's either none or slightly over the top. fricking hilarious every time i predicted what will happen which happens way too much for a mystery.

This show is still in syndication and that's a travesty because there is no acting worse than what I've seen watching this awful show. I mean, seriously, could the dialogue get any cheesier? The concept is lame, the chemistry between actors is meh, at best. But why would anyone give this show a 10? It's awful, I mean, I have seen nothing worse than this pretentious piece of crap, the names just reinforce the "British snob" stereotype, I mean "Jerome", really? One's an over-the-top-goth, one's an over-the-top bimbo, another's a Spanish actress trying, and failing in doing so, to convince a preteen audience already lacking in real TV experience that she is what Americans sound like. This show is horrendous.

OMA. This show is the best show out there! It's not like other shows; it doesn't seem like a repeat and go on forever. It's full of mysteries, drama and some horror at some points in time!! This is my all time favorite show, hands down. After watching the first episode I thought, "Wow, that was kind of cheesy." But I also thought about how it wasn't like any other show, so I gave it another chance. I ended up staying tuned for the whole three seasons. Even though Nina left, and KT and Willow came in, a true fan would watch the show no matter what. Give this show a chance!! It's awesome!! Some of the actors may not be the best, but they are certainly fit for the part!! ANUBIS FOREVER!!

Following the series and now up to episode 15 "House of Hazards & House of Charades".This starts out with a girl Nina arriving at a English boarding school and is assigned to the "House of Anubis" to live in. Instantly she is disliked by Patricia who thinks that Nina has something to do with the sudden disappearance of her closest friend Joy. As Nina is walking to class her first morning she bumps into this dazed old woman who seems to have two names. Nina helps "Sarah" back to the old folks home and while there Sarah seems to recognize Nina and gives her an amulet telling her to keep it a secret and gives her warnings that make everything seem very dangerous and scary.With the use of the amulet Nina starts to stumble on secrets of the house. Sarah's family once owned the house and traveled often to Egypt stealing many artifacts and bringing them back. But it seems these artifacts have mystical powers. Nina enlists the help of house members to aid her in solving the mysteries and eventually befriending Patricia.There are dangers at every twist and turn. Each episode ends in a cliffhanger making it impossible for the viewer to miss what will happen next.So far it appears that there is an elixir of life that the creepy caretaker Victor is also the leader of a group of people, most who appear to have been the same age since the 1920's. The children even discover old photos of Victor proving that he is much much older than he appears. Even the elderly woman Sarah seems to have been a part of it and gives Nina clues as to Victor and the others tipping the scales of life.The children take some of that they believe to be the elixir but when Alfie accidentally drinks some of it, it lands him in the hospital not able to remember what put him in shock in the first place before he drank the elixir. But we know that he was trapped in the basement and while there saw Victor and his friends forming their group to ready themselves for the appointed time where they need to make more elixir and it has something to do with Joy being the appointed one. Strange...and very mysterious happenings.Victor discovers the group of children are searching the house for the artifacts he and his creepy group are also in need of. So Victor starts watching their every move so he can learn what the children are up to and what they have found. The children have found plenty that Victor doesn't know about.I believe that they have picked the wrong chosen one when they picked Joy because the amulet that Nina was given has powers to open hidden panels and books but only Nina has the power to use it. The others try to use it but it does nothing. Only when Nina holds it does it have the power to open these hidden areas and treasurers.I'll attempt to come back and update it but for now this should give you enough of a tease to want to watch every episode. Even though you've missed them, you can watch every episode at http://www.nick.com/shows/house-of-anubis This series is not to be missed. It's the first original series from Nickelodeon since 2001. Filming started in the UK and oddly enough is seen in the US before it will be shown in the UK.
