A Discovery of Witches: Series 1 [Blu-ray]

Based on All Souls Trilogy books from Deborah Harkness, this is a very well-made adaptation. Beautifully crafted and translated visually from the books. The series was shot at magnificent places, landscapes in multiple countries (UK, Italy France) Both cinematographically and very well scripted for TV series. You may want to still read the book to capture some minor plots not shown in this series, but still, this adaptation will glue your eyes from start to beginning! Overall, it's a worthy piece to collect to be binged someday in the future. Looking forward to collecting the next following 2 seasons

The cast does a great job bringing these characters to life. Mathew Goode plays Mathew DeClairmont from page to screen just as I imagined the character to be. Theresa Palmer's take on Diana Bishop is just as entertaining. This is a story filled with romance, mystery and suspense. Diana has spent most of her life denying her witch heritage while Mathew searches for clues from the past to secure the future for all. Demons, Witches and Vampires are all wanting answers to the mysterious manuscript "Ashmole 782"....and Diana may be the link to it's secrets. This is a good rendition of the first book of the trilogy. The second season is currently being filmed. Check out the book series by Deborah Harkness. You will be hooked.

I loved the books and was looking forward to this adaption. didn't want to pay for a streaming service and the price for season 1 was lower than most series (ironically AMC had a one day marathon of the season after I purchased the bluray). Actors really capture their characters, the chemistry is palpable and the cinematography is gorgeous! Broke down and got Shudder for season 2 (which is a bit slower than the first, but stays true to the trilogy - just in different order). Great addition to my witch/vampire/superhero bluray collection!

I love this show. It came from the Deborah Harkness ( I hope I have spelling right) Trilogy of souls. I wanted to see this on TV but it is one you have to pay extra to get the plus. I made mistake of buying it right after seeing 1st season on TV but DVDS would NOT PLAY HERE IN USA. But this one from best buy did plY in USA I just had to wait another 2 months to own.

This set is based on the first book of a series by Deborah Harkness - the All Soul's Trilogy. I've heard it called an adult version of the Twilight Series (which I've only seen bits and pieces of) but I think it's a pretty good storyline with interesting characters. The last disc is a little bit of a cliff-hanger, so be prepared for that. The author is actually a historian and the second novel (which I believe was filming before Covid) really plays to that and I'm looking forward to its release. Of course, books are always better, but this was a pretty good adaptation.

This blu-ray plays beautifully. Wonderful picture and sound. The story, locals, scenery and wardrobe/costumes are intricate and impressive.

I was hooked from the start!! Witches and vampires and demons this makes for some great story telling! Watching the lead character Diana and Matthew dance around their forbidden love and the powers she has which are coming to the surface all while being chased by other witches and vampires makes for some great storytelling! Everyone who enjoys characters like this should be watching this series!!!!! The new season is supposed to be starting mid year so it’s not too late to catch up on the first season before the second season begins!

A Discovery of Witches Season One is a story of discovery and of love. It is a beautiful story of a witch and a vampire.
