As the wife of an ailing but very wealthy town selectman, Mary Sibley holds the distinction of being the most powerful sorceress in Salem, Mass. Ruthless yet vulnerable and with many secrets to hide, Mary leans on her ageless accomplice, Tituba, to help advance her agenda. When Mary's long-ago love interest -- Salem native John Alden -- returns from war duty to find the town paralyzed by fear of a witch hunt, her plans take an unexpected turn. Against a backdrop of townspeople pledging to rid Salem of evil by any means necessary, Mary and John are thrust into a world where horror, hysteria and the supernatural reign. Mary must fend off adversaries, old and new, who are vying for her throne. What really fueled the infamous witch trials in 17th-century Massachusetts? "Salem" -- WGN America's first original drama -- dares to uncover the dark, unearthly truth.

What Salem does provide is a consistently entertaining show-with a surprising amount of social commentary-that just might attract more eyes to it as it continues. Go to Full Review Trace Thurman Bloody Disgusting Jan 3, 2019
What was brilliant about this finale is that it didn't resolve the whole "possessed Baby John" issue at all. Go to Full Review Tony Sokol Den of Geek Jan 3, 2019
This is the most fun show currently ending a season. I giggle at my discomfort. This may have been a perfect season closer. Go to Full Review Lily Sparks TV.com Apr 21, 2015
The series is ... a dark fantasy ruled by nightmare logic that sets its characters in a graphically grim and grimy 17th century and overwhelms its contemporary audience with some fairly incredible special effects and truly bewitching actresses. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Apr 6, 2015
7.3/10
Salem's managed to carve out a nice, little disturbing niche for itself in the arena of supernatural horror TV. Go to Full Review Michelle Alexandria Eclipse Magazine Apr 5, 2015

Khaztiel Delbod D @khaztielddenver_ Aug 7, 2026 Esta segunda temporada me engancho como la primera no lo había echo, aquí la magia cobra mas protagonismo centrándonos en los aquelarres. Me gusto el desarrollo de Mary y los nuevos personajes que aparecen le dan mas intriga a toda la historia y como siempre saben como cerrar sus temporadas para querer seguir viendo la serie. See more Ricardo d @RT43154676 Oct 30, 2023 A segunda temporada é bem melhor que a primeira em grande parte. Primeiro podemos ter arcos mais definidos das personagens Mary, Anne e Mercy. Os personagens masculinos ficam todos como coadjuvantes, e perdem um pouco o sentido considerando a trama por completo. Temos ótimas cenas de terror e suspense, bem como, ótimas falas de personagens em momentos cruciais. A trama fica lenta e travada em alguns episódios, mas nada que prejudique toda sua essência. Ainda temos ótimos trabalhos com figurino e maquiagem, mas os efeitos visuais nem sempre são bons. Podemos talvez considerar que as 3 bruxas dessas temporada remetam as luas da wicca, sendo a condessa a anciã, Anne a jovem e Mary a grávida. See more Sep 17, 2019 Really got into it this season! Great storylines. See more Nov 18, 2016 It's an excellent show. If they market it better, they can increase the viewership substantially. I hope it lasts ten seasons. See more Sep 1, 2016 I love this show. Binge watched the first 2 seasons on Netflix in 2 days time, and I am awaiting season 3 in November. See more Jun 25, 2016 I haven't seen the whole season yet but almost. Again, as with the last season I think it's good but I wish the lead female role was more dynamic. More animated and more diverse. I would imagine a witch should be fairly insane in her witchly state so make her crazy! Like when she tricked the tticked Cotton's father. She finally became more dynamic but I felt like she was still holding back. Get more crazy! Also, this show is rated M for mature right? So why isn't the main character using her sexuality more? She gorgeous. Can she be more sexual??? Arnt witches suppose to be sexual and dynamic people. Anyways good show but could be better this way. See more Read all reviews
