A Discovery Of Witches Season 2 Episode 1
Okay, people, grab your comfiest blanket, maybe a goblet of wine (because, Diana Bishop, obviously!), and let's dive headfirst into the season two premiere of A Discovery of Witches! It was like stepping through a time portal myself! We're talking Elizabethan England, people!
A Whirlwind Welcome to the 1590s!
First things first, BAM! Diana and Matthew Clairmont materialize in London, circa 1590. Imagine going from your cozy Oxford library to… well, less-than-cozy Elizabethan London. The culture shock alone would be enough to make anyone want to Apparate back to the present! I'd be Googling "how to survive without Wi-Fi in the 16th century" immediately.
They're greeted by some seriously dodgy characters, and let's just say, Matthew has a lot of explaining to do. Turns out, he was a bit of a bad boy back then. Okay, maybe more than a "bit." He has a whole other life. A past. Like, a seriously complicated past involving debts, old flames, and a whole bunch of people who definitely aren't thrilled to see him. Awkward!
Must Read
Diana's Magical Makeover (and Some Serious Training)
Poor Diana is basically a fish out of water, trying to navigate a world where electricity and smartphones are mere fantasies. But fear not! She's got witchy superpowers to unlock. It's like she's enrolled in Hogwarts, but with more corsets and less Quidditch.
She's got to learn to control her magic, and that involves finding a teacher. Enter Goody Alsop, a local wise woman with serious magical skills and a delightfully skeptical attitude. She is not easily impressed by fancy time-traveling witches. It's like trying to impress your grandma with your TikTok dance skills; good luck with that!
Matthew's Messy Past Catches Up
Meanwhile, Matthew is dealing with his own drama. It's like watching a really intense historical soap opera. Old rivalries, secret alliances, and enough brooding to power a small city. Let's just say, his past self wasn't winning any "Mr. Congeniality" awards.
He's got to juggle protecting Diana, keeping his secrets hidden, and trying not to get stabbed in the back (literally). It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. And honestly, the historical fashion makes it at least a little bit bearable. Those doublets and hose? Chef's kiss!
We also get a glimpse of some familiar faces back in the present, dealing with the fallout of Diana and Matthew's disappearance. Sarah and Emily are, understandably, freaking out. But they're also determined to find a way to help. Because that's what family (even chosen family) does!
Overall, the season premiere was a whirlwind of historical drama, magical intrigue, and simmering romance. It sets the stage for a season filled with danger, discovery, and, hopefully, a whole lot of steamy moments between Diana and Matthew. Because let's be real, that's half the fun! I would give it 10/10 for the show.
"A Discovery of Witches is one of the best TV series, Matthew and Diana are exceptional!"
