It begins with absence and desire. It begins with blood and fear. It begins with A Discovery Of Witches.
You had e at witches! A few months ago, someone on Twitter was talking about the show A Discovery of Witches. I'd never heard of the British fantasy drama, but two things had me want to check it out. First, it was about witches, and second it starred actor Matthew Goode. I love me some Matthew Goode, and he is beautifully dangerous a d sexy as vampire Matthew Clairmont.
Once the world was full of wonders, but it belongs to the humans now. We, creatures, have all but disappeared. Daemons... vampires... witches... hiding in plain sight. Ill at ease even with each other. But, as my father used to say, in every ending, there is a new beginning.
The show is a bit of a slow burn, and it took me a few episodes to get into it, but it's beautifully shot, and the story was intriguing enough to keep me watching. I have to say I think the female lead Diana, played by Teresa Palmer may have been the wink link. I'm not if it was her acting or the writing, but as the most powerful witch, she was also a tad bland....
There were enough great supporting actors to make up for it however, including actor Edward Bluemel as Marcus Whitmore. Marcus is Matthew's vampire son, and also works with him in the University lab. Edward is a great actor, and I wish he'd more to do, but I always perked up when he was on screen.
Edward has been having quite a successful few years, especially on television. In addition to his role in A Discovery of Witches, Edward has also appeared in Sex Education and Killing Eve. I'm guessing some of you also remember Edward from his role, and his nude scenes from My Lady Jane. If not, enjoy a few below.
