A Discovery of Witches Was Created for Hopeless Romantics, and That's OK (https://www.tvguide.com/news/a-discovery-of-witches-season-1-review/)
I love the first paragraph:
"For those of you who thought vampire romances were finally going out of style, shame on you. This genre is as immortal as the sexy, emotionally tortured bloodsuckers it's built upon and will continue to dominate pop culture so long as there are gorgeous (preferably accented) people willing to gaze adoringly into each others' eyes. And thank God for that, because A Discovery of Witches is basically every hopeless romantic's dream come true."
Now if only someone would revive DS so that we can get back to seeing our own "sexy, emotionally tortured bloodsucker," Barnabas, "gaze adoringly" into Josette/Vicki/Maggie/Whoever's eyes...
Though until then, I suppose this show might do...

Is this a new TV show coming?
Is it TV, cable (HBO, SHOW), Flix, Prime or Hulu?
I just watched, "The Woods" on Prime. I'd recommend it.
Patti
Watched a little bit of People's Choice or which ever was on last Sunday; it was nice to see NOT made for TV shows winning!
(I remember being new on Flix, and thinking, well, they'll still have to make TV series, or what is there to watch!)

Thanks, Patti. If he hadn't been cast as a vampire in this, wouldn't Matthew Goode have made a fantastic Barnabas? You can feel his intensity in every freakin scene.
-
[pointing-up] If only this was a new DS and Goode was Barnabas! But until we get a new DS, it's no longer a case of this show might do (as I theorized in the first post of this topic) because this show will do. [easter_cool]

Episode 2 (Season 1 | Episode 2)
09:00PM
Blind to the interest she has stirred amongst creatures, Diana fights an increasing pull towards the magical and turns her back on her witch heritage, but matters take an unexpectedly dark turn when Satu is sent by Peter Knox to intimidate her.
-
MB, I read your reply yesterday evening.
Then, the show came on.
The girl/woman is around 28 years old.
The vampire (in biological/physical looking) seems to be about 40-42.
Gee, imagine a show where a 40-something hooks up with a SYT.
How novel.
Oyevah,

Watching right now.
As I've never been to Oxford, I googled where the body(ies) of water for rowing & the bodies of water between the buildings are.
Didn't get a direct answer.
Anyone know what the body(ies) of water are? Not the Thames (I'm guessing)?
Thanks,

So, a new show on NBC (Red Line I believe) started last night, at 9pm eastern.
I saw quite a few postings on FB, a lot of people said it wasn't good.
A couple of times, I switched back, because I love Noah Wyle.
But, hey, it's up against A Discovery of Witches....and I posted how good I think the show is.
I was just describing it to my daughter, and she thought it was like an AHS, but I told her how dissimilar it is.
I love love love the way the writers are letting us get to know some of the characters and only some of the 'monsters' (we've heard demons & werewolves mentioned, but, I don't believe we've seen them yet, only vamps & witches).
This is a very, very well done show; writing, directing, cinemascope, acting.

Gillian pays a price for her disloyalty to Diana. The vampires study witch DNA. The fall-out threatens the fragile equilibrium between creatures and the focus is on ending Matthew and Diana's relationship whatever the cost.
-
MB (or anyone else in the know), the a.m. shows were all talking about Game of Thrones, which I've never seen.
Do we know any numbers on DoW?
Any printed reviews?
I always post on FB how I love the way they are pacing the show.

-
So, in the first season, we've seen witches and vamps. IIRC, we briefly viewed Werewolves & Demons.
I know the show is based on a trilogy of books.
Two questions:
Will we be seeing more werewolves & demons (and more witches & vamps)?
How close to the book(s) has season 1 been?
Thanks
