you're welcome.
EW.com also had an article about Matthew loving Oxford, but I have to get the link to it. __________________

Watched the first 3 episodes so far and I really love it. I think they have done an excellent job with the adaptation. I have a 30 free trial and plan to watch it again before the trial is up. I want to do a more detailed review for each episode.

Watching it makes me want to re-read the series, but I have so many other things to read.

You can wait until September 18 and do the real time reading.

Good idea.
I finished watching the first season last night. I think they did a good job of adapting a big book into 8 hours. I did think the moment of Diana being taken from Sept-Tours was very quick, though. I wanted more stuff with the ghosts. __________________

They did They did quite well, given the length of the book.
I guess some stuff they had to rush given their time limit. |

We didn't get the birth control tea and the idea of Diana being able to get pregnant. A 2 hour movie would've never worked. __________________

I feel like movies only work for short stories and series like All Souls should be tv shows.
Also, I'm excited to see Diana's familiar next season. __________________

I am also excited to see Cora.
I signed up for a 30 day free trial of Sundance Now to watch A Discovery of Witches. I have already seen and loved all 8 episodes and am now re-watching them with a closer eye and ear to write up reviews. Overall I feel that making the book(s) into a TV series was smarter and more beneficial to the story than a two hour movie(s). It kept the tone and much of the core story intact. With only 8 episodes some details and favorite scenes were omitted to fit other important details and to expand the story outside of Diana's first person POV. I read a rumor that the next season for book two is getting more episodes, which is great because it has some much more going on. I am hoping for 12 episodes, at least! Realistically the only way you are getting every single favorite detail in is if you turn the books into a daily daytime soap opera. These are the Days of Our Witches. lol
