Community reviews for A Discovery of Witches, shown here with its season details.
It's one of those shows you'd never admit to your friends you watching. it's exactly like Twilight, but with good actors. Who look like they're regretting their decision to be in it all the time...but they are trying their best nevertheless. All in all - great stress reliever after a long day at work. Recommend for people who hate their job like I do.
