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.

I love the cast and producers. Normally I'm not a fan of witchcraft, but the way it's handled on Salem is some of the best I've ever seen. It's one of those shows that really sucked me in last season. Go to Full Review

After three glorious seasons, Salem said goodbye tonight. I'm just not ready for it to end! Go to Full Review
Tony Sokol Den of Geek 01/03/2019
Merchant has been wonderful throughout the series but the last two episodes have really been a tour de force. She captures the gallop of the true dark horse in a race of purebreds with grace and a few charms. Go to Full Review

If Salem has to leave us, then "Black Sunday" was a fantastic way to send it off. The third season had its issues, but everything was wrapped up in a neat and satisfying little bow in the end. Go to Full Review

Clearly unaware that there's no surer way to jinx yourself than to announce that you are invincible, the devil declared in Salem's Season 3 premiere Wednesday that, with Mary pushing up daisies, no one could stop the "great terror." Go to Full Review

Ricardo d @RT43154676 11/05/2023 De modo geral é uma boa série de terror sobre bruxas. Aqui temos boas atuações dos atores principais, belos arcos construídos com uma dramaturgia ágil e com diálogos atemporais; boas cenas de gore com uma maquiagem satisfatória, e de certa forma, um fio condutor do início ao fim da série: o amor de John e Mary. Mas também noto que o cancelamento da série foi bem a tempo, visto que o terceiro ano já estava dando uma patinada no contexto geral e certamente se houvesse mais um ano, a série se perderia de seu ponto inicial. Como expectador fiquei decepcionado com o fim que se deu a Anne, realmente torcia que ela conseguiria ser uma bruxa boa, mas não desmerece o que fizeram para amarrar toda a trama no seu domingo negro, tentando não deixar pontas soltas. Sinto que o personagem Issac e a personagem Mercy poderiam ter sido melhores explorados junto a trama principal: os 2 sofreram muito durante a série e cada um lidou com o sofrimento ao seu modo, mas ambos morreram na praia em suas conclusões, sendo totalmente descartados. Uma pena. Por fim, essa série idolatra as mulheres, não só na trama de empoderamento, mas as atrizes sempre tiveram maior destaque, e os atores eram meros coadjuvantes. Até mesmo John era um marionete durante toda a série. See more Koh J @RT88410242 07/16/2022 I have mixed feelings about the series. I find the arcs surrounding most of the main characters (Anne Hale, Mercy Lewis) satisfying, but I'm put off by the story arc around Mary, which appeared so contrived to make the main arc revolve around her that the story became painful to watch. See more 09/17/2019 It was a good final season. Good twists and turns, surprises, and suspense. However, the last half of the season, got a little too preachy for me. An awful lot of male bashing. Just too much PC for me. I watch shows to escape reality, not be reminded of all of men and women true faults. See more 02/04/2019 Dark, sexy, smart. Awesome cast, writing, directing and cinematography. A+++++ See more 01/29/2018 First, I need to make a confession. I am a grown woman who is no longer frightened by ANY horror movie. I walk in the dead of night in dark woods with no fear at all. However... (I hear the Jaws theme in my head), Increase Mather (brilliantly played by Stephen Lang) absolutely scares the B'jesus out of me. The thought of walking into him even in brought daylight... well... to the core. Amazing 3 seasons and SO pleased that like so many, it didn't get the chop so there was a beginning, middle and end. Beware..... AGGHHH! Increase!!!! See more 05/18/2017 Sorry but no way in hell Anne Hale should be taking the last W. The season was starting of good with the reveal of the birth of the devil but later on after he is born... The word love gets thrown all over the place. I felt that's all that drove the season, the only person who gave a s*** about Salem was Mathers and he ENDS UP WITH AN ENTERNAL L. ARE YOU F********* KIDDING ME?!?! Back to my main point, NO MARBURG SHOULD BE TAKING ANY W's !!! Anne was cool until her crazy sided busted out of her. I mean I expected for her to get more cruel and tricky as most witches are, but you telling me RIGHT WHEN MATHERS BREAKS HER HEART, THIS B***** OUTSMARTS EVERYONE ONE THE FIELD AND GETS OFF RULING SHIT?!?!? Man I swear anyone other than Hale taking a W I could live with. She didn't deserve it AND MATHERS...FUCKED UP HOW MATHERS ENDED UP. I feel he had the most wisdom and compassion for everyone in the season...EVERYONE(EVEN HALE)BUT B******* ARE TRIFLING. ENDING STATEMENTS - Characters with most wisdom shouldn't be taking Eternal L's. - Best Scene goes to Cotton Mather, When he gave hale that "FUCK YOU THOUGHT BITCH" caress before going to hell. - Only consistent thing in this series was acting.
