![]() The nuanced character development some of the characters had at the end (Rowan and Ciprien) was also delightful. Leaving the woes of acting, direction and pacing, it's wonderful how the plot was tied together at the end, it surely had a finale feel. ![]() Jack Huston as Lasher also doesn't give off the haunting and dangerous feel his character is meant to have. Alexandra Daddario is also a good actress (she also looks the part of a witch) so it's a shame that the direction of the series doesn't bring that out. ![]() The pacing is slow, and seeing how powerful the protagonist is meant to be (and hinted to be) it's frustrating seeing how she was tossed around like a badminton by the other characters. ![]() It's especially sad seeing how wonderfully the first television series in the Rice's immortal universe did - interview with the vampire. ![]() A Discovery of Witches deals with, yes, witches, but also incorporates other supernatural beings, including vampires and daemons. The second television series in the Rice's immortal universe holds elements reminiscent of many hit series like the vampire diaries but doesn't quite hit the mark like other series in this vein (genre). Based on the popular novel by Deborah Harkness, A Discovery of Witches is the first book in the All Souls Trilogy so there’s plenty of material to mine if this eight-part drama is well-received. ![]()
