A Discovery of Witches - Appreciation #1
 

A Discovery of Witches is a television series based on the All Souls trilogy by Deborah Harkness. It is named after the first book in the trilogy.

It stars Teresa Palmer and Matthew Goode.

Love what I’ve seen so far

Thanks for the thread!

What episode are you on Ann?

I've watched the whole series (8 episodes). Once again, binge watching is easy when you don't have a life after work. :)

I like the characters and think the series is well paced. It is nice to have a vampire and witch drama that involves adults...not teens.

I would bingewatch it if it was on Netflix or Amazon. But it's on Sky

I signed up for a free trial of Sundance on Amazon.

What episode are you on?

when Matthew was 'dying'. And I'm just realising that was the last one, right? :lol:

:lol: Yes. I'm glad; I don't have to worry about spoiling you.

I was a little puzzled about how easy he was to "kill".

Yes, me too, I didn’t expect that, he should have been more resilient to injury

There is a lot I like about this show.

My complaint would be that the show hasn't explained the abilities and limitations of vampires and demons. At this point, I don't understand why witches don't rule everything given their power.

I hope it's explained in the books?

I haven't read them...but I would hope so.

I may read them to find out. I assume the next season is many months away.


I am anxious to see how things go for them in the past. I assume they will still not be acceptable as a couple - due to their mixed species status.

it's funny that Matthew is called Matthew in real life too

I would think that would be a little weird for an actor.
