I just searched this title and one review called it 'A Nerd's Delight' .

Why yes, it is. The series doesn't go as deeply into the biotechnology, genetics, string theory (quantum physics) or wines as the books, but yeah, it's still there. 'A Discovery of Witches' weaves modern science and folklore into a tapestry while discussing the future of humanity.

Add to that an exquisitely crafted production and superb performances that evolve and even de-volve as necessary with the characters, and well, you've got one of the best series I've seen yet.

I'm old, I've seen a lot.

The witches, demons and vampires of this smart story aren't for fans of the twilight pablum, but more for Trekkers, Trekkies and anyone who likes to think. So yeah, nerds like me.
