A Discovery of Witches (2018–2022)
7/10
How interesting that I agree with all the reviews.
11 January 2022
After binge watching Season 1 and 2, I wanted to see some reviews. And I have to say. There are some varying opinions. And I agree with all of them.

I personally really liked the show. It hit the spot for me.

Other reviewers who hated it...I see where they're coming from. I did have to endure some scenes.

And everyone has said what I would say. I enjoyed the premise. I enjoyed the acting. I enjoyed the fact there were cool creatures.

But this show is about witches. Or better yet, a witch....or better yet, The Witch.

Witches can do cool stuff and some are better than others. And I like that. Its fun.

I wont get into what the creatures can do cause frankly, its boring.

In fact, a lot of this show is boring.

A common theme for shows made for women, by women is to have some underlying agenda that seeps out of the finished product.

Its hard to explain but you can feel it when it happens. Although, the agenda was extremely subtle and easy to get through, but it does separate you from being immersed in a story.

Action scenes had no build up. They just came out of nowhere as emotional outbursts or quick decisions. Its hard to even call them action scenes.

There were loop holes as if they made the first season, then realised the second season might not gel, so they made the characters explain the loopholes or sometimes they were just forgotten about. It was just a bit weird.

Again, I had fun watching this, but I understand the poor reviews.
