While the longing looks and cravings for blood might make some roll their eyes, every second of A Discovery of Witches is pure catnip for fans of this genre, and it's nice to be able to dive into a decadent love affair for a few hours of escapism at the end of the day. ... There's also more than enough unique elements and impressive world-building going on alongside those tropes to sustain the series' weaker elements.

The series lays out its world and characters briskly and intelligibly, and the early episodes invest the fantasy clichés with some elegance and picturesqueness. (Shooting in Oxford and Venice, where the creatures’ HQ occupies a hidden island in the lagoon, helps.) As the action, physical and supernatural, picks up in midseason, the writing and direction start to lose some of that restraint, taking a turn into pulpy, B-movie territory.

Luxurious and intelligent escapism though hobbled by Palmer's less-than-bewitching blandness. Goode more than compensates with his usual grace while hinting at his inner beast. He's the ghoul to watch. [21 Jan - 3 Feb 2019, p.13]

Both better and worse than Harkness' book. ... If making Diana even more of a Mary Sue than she was on the page is a bad adaptive choice--don't get me started on Diana as a character only being activated by the sexual ritual known blushingly as "bundling"--Brooke smartly recognizes the dramatic structural flaws of Harkness' book. ... A Discovery of Witches picks up as it goes along through eight episodes.

I haven't loved a TV show this much n so long! I only hope they continue making it!! I love the depth of emotion, the types of fantasy creatures involved, the CGI. I'll write more details after I finish this season. So happy!
