I watched the first two episodes when they first released, and I liked them okay. The rest of the season had a little while before it would be released in the US, though, so I watched the first two seasons of Outlander in the meantime. Coming from a show with excellent writing, a talented cast, and main characters that have such good chemistry, A Discovery of Witches became less enjoyable and more frustrating as the season dragged on. My biggest beef with this show is Theresa Palmer. She is absolutely dead-eyed ninety percent of the time, and she delivers all of her lines as if her Ambien is just kicking in. You can see Matthew Goode struggling to emote enough for the both of them, but they have no chemistry what-so-ever. This writing isn't terrible, but there are a handful of really awkward lines. The best actress in the show is definitely Malin Buska. Her portrayal is beautiful and more interesting than anything else happening on the show at any given time.
