Roush Review: 'A Discovery of Witches' Is Luxurious and Intelligent Escapism
The series is an adaptation of Deborah Harkness’s ‘All Souls’ trilogy.


I don't subscribe to Sundance Now or Shudder - and joining another subscription service isn't really something I'd like to do - but given the great reviews I've been reading for this series, I may need to join just to watch this series...

MB, Episode 1 comes on AMC this eve (Sun) at 9pm est.

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]

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,

Patti

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,

Patti
