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. :)

To say this show is amazing is just not enough. The time and care that went into the preparation for the production of this show is clear and apparent. The acting is electrifying. The wardrobe featured should be up for awards. But best of all.... The writing.... Unlike anything else out there!!!! Found this jewel on NetFlix. I could NOT stop watching the episodes.... And then to find out it had been cancelled. What was WGN thinking? Truly amazing work here and not enough advertising. Why would you put so much work into such an amazing project to let it die? Some one at the top of WGN clearly dropped the ball and lost out! Very poor decision making. Huge Mistake!!!If anyone out there with half a business sense would jump at the opportunity of continuing this amazing saga there are many that would gladly ride the emotionally charged train of "Salem" once more!!!

OK let me start off by saying that I love to look at different shows, movies, stories, etc. from different time periods in history. Now going into the review of the show. It is not historically accurate, and never claimed to be. It does however have SOME characters that were historically present at the time of the Salem Witch Trials. It is dark toned because let's face it if you lived out in those times the only lighting you had was fire in candles or fire pits. I have read a lot of other reviews and some I agree with and some I don't. It is a dark show with a lot of different mature elements: blood, gore, sex, dark magic, and horror elements. Now I will say that this show plays on the Puritan beliefs at the time of what witches were. It also played the "what if" game that "what if the Puritan beliefs were real?" And made a very interesting and complex TV series that isn't for the faint of heart but definitely makes for an interesting view. Everything from the cast, set up and outcome is very well thought out and planned. Now I don't particularly agree of perpetuating the stereotype of witches and making them all followers of Satan, but it was still an awesome show if you can get past that and the lack of historical accuracy. Worth the watch if you love horror and darker shows and movies.

Now that the series has come to an end with 3 seasons. I have decided to add it to my list of tragically underrated shows. It never got the praise it deserved. It was bloody, it was crazy and it was down right brilliant. What it wasn't though was the least bit realistic. Taking a show and calling it "Salem" and saying you were setting it during the witch hysteria and then go off in crazy directions turned off historical purists who were looking for a "retelling" which this was not. It wasn't even close. If anything it was more a battle of the sexes and a story about power and corruption set in a time when a lot of people were cut off from even the simplest things because of the simplest reasons. Of course the show wasn't perfect. It took a little too long to find its footing but once it did it was a wonder to behold. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who doesn't mind sex and violence on their shows and who loves a good war between good and evil. And anyone who likes a good battle between the sexes.
