The discovery of the show's title will be in part, of course, Diana's own - of her past, the past of her people, her powers and her future.

Sep 10, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Suzi Feay Financial Times Top Critic Some violence, romantic complications in book-to-TV show. Jan 29, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media It's a show that can satisfy audiences looking for both Peak TV prestige and a good old fashioned scarefest, and there's not many shows that can pull that off. Jan 24, 2019 | Full Review… Joel Keller Decider A Discovery of Witches is actually really good at setting up things not only for the first season but for the series itself. We meet most of our main characters during the first episode and it sets up the drama for the season. Jan 22, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Maii Trueba de Buen Tell-Tale TV In the end, A Discovery of Witches is a mostly worthwhile addition to the seemingly endless parade of genre book adaptations that make for an entertaining, if not entirely satisfying binge-watch. Jan 18, 2019 | Full Review… Kevin Yeoman ScreenRant There's no shortage of gorgeous locations, swoon-worthy actors, danger or mystery on board. Jan 18, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Adrienne Jones CinemaBlend A Discovery Of Witches most often calls to mind a smarter, gentler Underworld. Jan 17, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review… Danette Chavez AV Club Top Critic A Discovery of Witches is obviously not looking to give us the groundbreaking. It's aiming for highly watchable, and I do feel the pull to watch the next episode. Jan 17, 2019 | Full Review… Aliya Whiteley Den of Geek A Discovery of Witches potently mixes sensuality and the supernatural, adding a pedigree of scholarly wisdom from the hallowed halls of Oxford University.
