I accidentally stumbled on to "A Discovery of Witches" while desperately seeking a program containing imagination, decent plot development, and just enough mystery to keep me interested. I found those elements in this series. I found it deeply entertaining, and enjoyable.

There were, in my view just a couple of small negatives. I often felt restless with so many romantic interludes that seemed contrived, and inorganic to the plot. Additionally, for those of us who have not read the books, a bit more backstory interjection with the introduction of new plot elements would help viewers understand the more subtle nuances present in the story. However, I am sure most of the small wrinkles will get worked out in future seasons, (which I sincerely hope have more than 8 episodes.)
