What fellow fans had to say about the show;
First as reader of the books, I find the TV series a bit different but as to be expected when translated to the screen. I really like the casting which I think is excellent particularly Matthew Goode as Matthew Clairmont and Teresa Palmer as Diane Bishop, albeit Teresa's accent sometimes merges with her American and Australian accents, the latter which can be quite flat.The richness of the scenery on location and on set, are fabulous especially Oxford and the sets at Matthew's house and Sept Tours are magical. A lot of this must be enhanced by the excellent photography/filming which is so rich in colour, this provides exactly the perfect ambience for the story.Bearing in mind my own love of fantasy-based stories, the combination of all the above make this TV series one of the best I have seen, and I would 100% recommend it, for all of the above reasons.

Having watched the show then read the books, I found that the series cleverly kept all that was interesting and removed the stuff that should have been edited from the books. If I had gone to the books first, I would not have read Shadow of the Night, nor The Book of Life and not watched the series, consequently missing out on one of my now favorite shows.The conversations between Gillian and Diana in the tv series were not true friendship, more a subtle nervous testing of the waters. You could tell that Gillian and Diana wanted more from it and were trying because the former wanted the kudos of getting a witch from a powerful lineage to join the Oxford witches, while the latter wanted a friend. Both failed because Gillian wanted Diana to be enthusiastic about witchcraft and Diana wanted a friend who didn't judge by their prejudices. You can see this with Sean later on, she tries for a friendship, but retreats the minute he expresses disgust about people still believing in witchcraft.The show also portrayed the story from third perspective, a view which would have made the books better, as the first-person narrative of the books tended to go off into tangents - yoga at the Old Lodge, totally unnecessary - and at times failed to convince me, especially when Diana says she's loves him. In the show I was convinced by their relationship, but it took until the end of the second book for me to believe their union would work. When the books had that rare third person narrative, those chapters were more eloquently written.This series is one of the rare exceptions where I don't mind deviations from the books, because it is so well acted, subtly and eloquently screen played, with gorgeous cinematography. It is only because the show was so good that I turned to the books and to the history involved, but then I do love history.

A Discovery of Witches is an excellent program, for people who enjoy the fantasy fiction side of television this show was at the top of the list of shows to watch. Currently there are not too many good choices to pick from, but this program will take care of that when it returns. With a cast that could not have been any better this show has what it takes. Okay yes, I'm a fan of the talented and beautiful Teresa Palmer, with her talent & those eye's & that smile can you blame me for that. Now let's not forget the rest of the cast was excellent. I looked forward to the show coming on each week which I can only hope is coming back soon? This show was like taking a little bit of the Twilight saga and mixing in a pinch of Harry Potter and for characters. Now add a lot of talented actors and you have a really good show that people are going to want to see. I am hoping to see this show soon & hoping when it comes back, they will show were they left off to remind everyone of what has happened to this point. Your loyal fans are waiting & I am one of them, so please return to your Sunday night time slot soon.
