Place Outlander and Twilight in a blender and you have a PG-14 rated 'A Discovery of Witches'. After the first few captivating episodes the series morphs into a high budget TV Soap Opera. Acting is often stiff, plots are predictable, and many scenes look like the Director did only one take. The incredible ingredients of 'A Discovery of Witches' appeal to everyone's fantasies of eternal life, magic, time travel, and unconditional love. Twilight's promise of everlasting youth and love kept the viewer enraptured, Outlander's dramatic sense of history, reality, fantasy, and passionate sex held the viewers in a blinkless gaze, A Discovery of Witches leaves the viewer wanting for all of that.
