Generic witch fantasy tv show but I'm a sucker for them. Concepts not bad, not super original though. It also has this lifetime movie vibe to it. I was hoping something close to 'discovery of witches' caliber.
It feels really low budget, like most fantasy series around witches, werewolves, vampires and such, but other shows try to look better in the visual aspects to trick you into believing they aren't. The special effects and all here don't look great. And the narrative, it's just jumpy and erratic. It seems like the base of the show will be a murder investigation.
The show is based on a town serving as a sanctuary for witchcraft, but it doesn't delve deeply into magical elements. Despite discussions about it, the portrayal is underwhelming, focusing more on mundane practices like making sedative tea. The magic depicted, such as candles going off or a slight steam from a cup after chants, lacks captivating intensity. It feels akin to observing witches at an astrology or tarot reader's level rather than showcasing enchanting mystical experiences. There's just a lot of hand movements.
It's very lifetime movie vibes, but some people watch those movies so I guess some people will enjoy this. Just go watch discovery of witches, or rewatch the originals, Salem, legacies, penny dreadful or something. Usually if a fantasy show's not well made I'm okay with it because they don't usually get the largest of budgets, but this is just boring as well. I probably won't watch past the two episodes out, I can't see it redeeming itself.
