I completely agree with your take on the show vs. the book. I read the first book and really disliked it! I am very confused by all the positive reviews on good reads. I thought I was getting a fantasy novel about witches and it turned out to be a romance novel where the relationship between Diana and Matthew is both boring and toxic at the same time. However my need to consume all things witchcraft made me give the show a chance. I am really glad I did! I found the show very entertaining. The show runners made the magic and lore front and center which I found very interesting and exciting. I am really bummed it got cancelled.

Hey guys, I have to admit, I think your assessment is really good. I don't agree that Diana is the "brainless and pining fool" like Bella. She informs herself about Matthew and doesn't follow him blindly. She trusts him more than the other witches because she finds his intellect attractive herself. You seem to have read over that ;). I agree with you that the series is rushed and many important aspects are not shown, which Deborah takes a lot of time for in the books. Diana's strong magical potential when she unknowingly uses magic as a teenager, even at college - I would have loved to see in flashbacks. Book 2 in particular, set in Victorian England and France and Bohemia, is a treasure. We learn so much about this magical world, how the relationship between Diana and Matthew develops, how Diana learns to accept and finally embrace her being a witch. I look forward to your assessment of season two and three. Best wishes from Germany, from a German witch.
I loved the show One of the things that I didn’t like were the demons. Like the witches had magic and the vampires had the usual vampire powers strength, immortality but demons they had no abilities at all. That’s the only thing I wish they did different
I don't think you read the same book I did. Nowhere does Diana met Mathew by falling down a staircase. Additionally, one of Diana's biggest convictions is NOT using her powers to aid her work as an historian. Equally so, she would not have asked Matthew for his memories to advance her career. How did you miss that about her? It's like a big security blanket for the young academician.
You guys make a really cute couple! I didn't know anything about A Discover of Witches before watching this review, and this made me want to give it a try. I get a lot of True Blood vibes from the clips you show. You explained things really well and I can tell you two know what you're talking about. You both sprinkle a lot of general knowledge and information throughout as well. Keep up the good work! Will you review Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
It wasn't cancelled. Each season was based on one of the books, there were 3 seasons and 3 books. The show concluded the story that was written in the books.
Now I would love to see ur reaction to my 2 favorite vampire movies its a gay vampire movies first one is brighter in darkness and the sequel is Lucas rising I love both movies but I would love to see ur reaction

Agreed! The only thing they had was the fact that they might go crazy and thought to be lesser than 😒
@@SterlingSMtr yeah The only skill they had was art I believe but they didn’t show any art or skills at all
