Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
shanisoys Being one of most the famous movie critic of past week or so I will give this TV series a rating of 3 out of 10. The story, cast, and the graphics are, I guess "ok" to watch this series have a lot of bad things. Main bad thing is where this series promotes some German and Essex bitches and that I find is very RESIST. I was born in Middle Sex and I want to see some Middle sex and Sussex bitches also. Why there were no good bitches in Middle-sex and Sussex?Felt in love with these characters and I would pay any amount to see these witches (Mostly the main characters) killed in real life. :)
lancer165 Have now finished this series. An interesting twist was thrown into the mix. I know the tale and have read much theorising about the incident. America was settled by many who had left the British Isles and of course elsewhere from mainly Protestant lands. The heaven and hell and Satan with his demons figured greatly in the preaching and as a warning about transgressions. While some good ideas are out there about how this became an epidemic it may never be fully known.Some nations did persecute mainly women. The herbalists of then were seen as maybe witches and many superstitious stories told did not help. Women were the main target for some reason. James 1 had a fear of witchcraft. I have no idea how many were MURDERED and this is what the twist in the story is about.This story tells us that witches do indeed exist and that if we think about the actual real world the Puritan may indeed have unwittingly been the agent of evil. Many so called faithful parents were cruel to children in the name of their God and his laws. The inquisition was forged from interpretations of the Bible by Jesuits.Within the tale here is a long drawn out love story and in this a pregnant deserted? Mary succumbed to solve a problem. It did indeed solve more than one until her real love thought dead returned.The outcome overall was satisfying to the audience that took the tale at face value. The pedant of course will not be.There are a few supernatural series out there with other superstitious night creatures as even the heroes. I can enjoy the twists that are thrown in but they are usually follow on from Movie plots. Underworld a fair example. They are mostly for a much younger audience. A few things of course in this did not gel but all in all the story was well told and quite acceptable.Glad it had an ending that was not too rushed.
mkereselidze15 This show was my favorite from the begging, cast and everything was just fine, but i am disappointed after the finale. Now i did not suggest to watch this show at all and waste your time. In particular story is too drown-out, low dynamics. Main characters are too underdeveloped, i was expecting much more from Mary Sibley and John Olden. last season was just nightmare, nothing went as it should. No actions, just stagnation, there was no highlights and if there raised such situations, it was suppressed immediately, nothing left to worry or guess. So feel free to not watch it. To my mind it does not matter to watch the show, which has no idea in it, and finishes as it is going to be another season, but no there is not going to be anything. you also would not be able to understand what happened to Cotton Mather. only good thin is Marilyn Manson's "cupid carries a gun".
supermaggie Women have had hard times over so many centuries. One of the worst blows of fate was the witch hunts, where everybody became a devil by denouncing little liked neighbors/competitors etc. and when women were burnt just because clergy was terrified by their own sexual feelings and because of the female period etc. - sounds silly and disgusting? Well it was. And one of the modern achievements is that there are almost equal rights for men and women - don't get me wrong, women get to feel injustices from men any day still (and not only in poorer countries and not only biologically or payroll-wise), but we are slowly approaching a delicate balance. And though many achievements of feminism have been buried again by dumb men- and beauty-focused women since the 80s, some insights have trickled through crusted brains. And suddenly there is a show who destroys all those wins and bombs us back into times where women were burned at stakes partly because of characterless men and partly because of other jealous dumb women - super bummer. And why exploit this delicate subject? Just for cheap audience winning tricks. Don't get me wrong, I like supernatural shows, but why do they have to take place in Salem at this time where so many innocents where tortured to death? We have finally realized that these doings were horrible and wrong, and then this show postulates that there have been real and particularly evil witches - which would justify the witch hunts! It's like/ as wrong as if there was a show about Jews in 1940 being evil warlocks which have to be stopped by being gassed - horrible, tasteless, wrong idea? EXACTLY!!! And I do not want to get started about the disgusting cruelty towards animals. Enough hideous children still seem to think that blowing up frogs and cutting off rat tails etc. etc. are nothing bad!!! Disgusting, the makers should be ashamed!
