In comes the dashing vampire Matthew Clairmont (Goode), who is drawn to Diana's untapped magical abilities, among other things. Play Palmer plays Oxford historian Diana Bishop, a reluctant witch who thinks she's ordinary until she uncovers a powerful, ancient manuscript that everyone in the supernatural world has been searching for. But if you look closer, the unique narrative nuances are there, making A Discovery of Witches an enjoyable binge.
A discovery of witches season 2 sundance series#
On a macro level, the series doesn't bring anything new to the genre - a strikingly handsome vampire (Matthew Goode) meets a beautiful witch (Teresa Palmer), they fall in love, other supernatural creatures pursue them, etc. Book 1 in the author's All Souls Trilogy is the backdrop for Season 1 (now streaming in the US via Sundance Now and Shudder), and it's an entertaining, if familiar romp into the world of supernatural beings, without the teen angst of Twilight, but still touting a heavy sprinkling of forbidden supernatural love, if that's your thing. However, that didn't stop UK broadcaster Sky One from sinking its financial teeth into author Deborah Harkness' best-selling novel, A Discovery of Witches.
After the end of both HBO's True Blood TV series, and the blockbuster Twilight film franchise, it appeared that Hollywood had had enough of vampire melodrama.
