    Anyone watch this?

    It wasn't too bad for the most part. Some disturbing scenes though.

    I liked it apart from the lead guy. Some of his dialogue seemed too modern.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,710 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    they wanted him to be different so as to highlight the thinking of the time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55 ✭✭CorkBabe33


    The trailer videos posted above look really good. I've been trying to find this show online all week but without any luck :(

    Saw that this is on Hulu so going to sit down and give it ago. It's one of those shows that I'd most likely forget about were it not for Hulu as honestly everythign I've seen of it thus far screams mediocre


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,448 ✭✭✭crockholm


    Myself and the wife watched it,she will continue watching it,I'm going to give it a pass.

    The accents are annoying,the dialogue is clunky and hammy.This is just teen wolf or twilight set in 17th C Mass.

    The show is chock-a-block with cliches -the strong silent type who challenges authority,the religious hypocrite,the femme fatale.

    Shame,there was potential.

    what is Mary purpose to go on exacting her vengeance on all the innocent people in the village ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 789 ✭✭✭mafaa


    episode 6 seems to be picking up as against the previous extremely boring episodes

    Agreed. I was about to give up on the show but the lastest episode was great.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,758 ✭✭✭Temaz


    I've enjoyed every episode so far!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,990 ✭✭✭squonk


    I'm 2 episodes in and don't mind it so far. I expected it to be worse so I'm still pleasantly surprised.

    Me too and it gets better. I'm liking Tamzin Merchants performance. I didn't realise it was her at first and had to look it up.

    I'm looking forward to next weeks episode.

    i think the twists on Mercy in episode 5 give some hopes to upcoming episodes, at least that for me :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 789 ✭✭✭mafaa


    getting exciting as more witches were exposed :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,105 ✭✭✭drugstore cowboy


    The guy playing Increase Mather is fantastic! Really stealing the show with his performance.

    Agreed Stephen Lang really does steal the show.

    Increase Mather really gave an impressive performance, the needed boost to the show


    episode 13, season 1 finale promo



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 789 ✭✭✭mafaa


    season 1 episode 13, a very satisfactory finale, it really climax among all those episodes :)
    probably next season will have Anne ( for righteous but she killed her own parents or she might blame Mary for her parents death ) & Mercy (for revenge ) vs Mary & George Sibley likely be killed, it will be interesting what new characters will be introduce also Cotton & Isaac & John will likely be returning

    SDCC 14: WITCH WARS COMING TO SALEM SEASON 2
    "Mary has completed the Grand Rite and there are other covens in other places that sense that the Grand Rite has been completed. And so Mary Sibley is like Michael Corleone and gets pulled back in. All the other covens want to know how Mary pulled it off and they want a piece of the action."

    "Queen of the Night" Mercy who, as star Elise Eberle explained, is feeling quite betrayed. "Mercy never had a mother figure in her life or a strong female presence and so she just became so obsessed with Mary. And then Mary broke her promise and it was earth-shattering for her."

    Also, as Adam Simon stated, Anne (played by Tamzin Merchant, who couldn't be in attendance) is a "cradle witch." Meaning that she was born with her powers as opposed to being someone who was indoctrinated into witchcraft like Mary had been. Meaning that Anne is potentially more powerful than Mary, if she can ever come to terms with what she did to her own parents

    Agreed Stephen Lang really does steal the show.

    That is what Stephen Lang does in everything ;)

    Really enjoyed the show and gal it will be returning for a second season.

    I watched the last episode of season one last night and there is one thing that confuses me :-
    How is Mary able to use Increase Mather as "innocent blood"?

    He is a torturer, murder and rapist (for that is what he does to Tituba).

    He is far from innocent.

    Cheers

    2 episodes in, this season 2 more of pure fantasy storyline now is much better than season 1 which tried too hard to follow the witch trial boring most of the episodes except from Increase Mather episodes onwards to finale

    the bathtub scene between Countess Marburg & Anne was scary

    the shock on Mary when her boy kissed her was the most unexpected


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 789 ✭✭✭mafaa


    episode 3, interesting followup
    Countess Marburg started her acts on Mary :rolleyes: it will be interesting how Mary manages to fight back with her marginal magic as against Countess Marburg & what help can Mary gets ; she still has to deal with Anne Hale, Cotton, John, Mercy, George, Hawthorne & Dr. Samuel Wainwright

    eventually, from the above list who is likely to die & friends to Mary :D

    will John able to release Mary from the Dark Lord to protect his wife & prevent his " son " from becoming the Dark Lord

    how will Anne Hale & Cotton struggle to protect each other or being manipulated


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 789 ✭✭✭mafaa


    season 2 episode 4, seems the 2nd season going to be dark & at time quite shock on the means to deliver the impact ....
    didn't expect Mary will exercise control over Anne Hale but not Mercy, likely Anne is a higher threat to Mary & worth to keep her under her thumb just like her father ; the result is Countess Marburg reveals. Can Anne break the control ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 789 ✭✭✭mafaa


    season 2 episode 5, an awesome one :cool:
    Mary finally met Countess Marburg , the beginning of her nightmare

    how will Mary and Tituba revive George?

    Anne Hale & Cotton seems to meet with hilarious situations frequently, but entertaining

    hope got new development in Mercy storyline, her character has been boring since season 2 started

    season 2 episode 6, a steady one where most major characters make their appearances in salem

    1st half of season 2 is pretty interesting, hope the 2nd half will not be too predictable but sustainable :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 789 ✭✭✭mafaa


    season 2 episode 10, the 1st exciting episode so far, with Mary pitting against Countess Marburg to save her " son " :cool:

    looking forward to how John, Cotton & Anne come into play for the next few episodes toward season finale at episode 13 :D
