A Discovery of Witches [Drama, Fantasy, Romance]

A Discovery of Witches is a TV adaptation of the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness.

It follows the story of Diana Bishop, an alchemical history professor at The University of Oxford who, after accidentally calling an elusive, long-thought-lost manuscript, is compelled to embrace the magic in her blood she has sought to keep out of her life and engage in a forbidden romance with charming vampire Matthew Clairmont.

I got bored of that pretty quickly.  Without meaning to sound sexist, it seemed a bit of a woman's show to me, but even my other half wasn't keen.

It's really well acted, and has a good story (if you can ignore the romance side of things). I can, so it works for me.

Thanks for the pointer! A Discovery of Witches has the better trailer (compared to Age of the Living Dead), will check it out!

np it's a good show about all those types of things (witches/vampires/demons). Has a bit of a war theme in it, just ignore the romance bits if that annoys you (I usually just skip ahead when they start getting cosy).
