A Discovery of Witches 2

[MrsElijahMikaelson1]

Who’s in? I watched series 1 again last week in preparation!

Just watched first episode on demand but won't post any spoilers.

Where can we watch it?

It's on Sky One.

I just watched season 1 over Christmas

Didn't realise series 2 is out?

Looking promising...

Suggest an agreement about whether the thread is for S2 at Sky pace (with no spoilers)? I have read the books but a long time ago.

I watch it though I am not too e enthused about it. I mainly watch to see Matthew Goode and I like the actor playing Gallowglass.

Matthew Goode is divine!
Yes, definitely season 2-however, it has been released in one job lot so will have to be careful not to do spoilers!

Season 2 in it’s entirety out today on sky

Noooo. Don’t watch it. Read the fantastic, fantastic books. The tv will ruin them!!

I get Sky One through Virgin Media so I can only see one episode each week. I don't have Now TV or an actual Sky subscription.

Faircastle I get Sky One through Virgin Media and have just binged watched the whole series today via on demand.

Thanks @SunburstsOrMarbleHalls I will have a look this weekend.

Have just downloaded the books to my kindle but am going to watch first-I often find if I’ve read the book first, that films/TV reproductions seem rubbish in comparison.

I have tried to read the book. It is soooo dry, I can’t get into it at all.

Just started watching it.

I thought the books were some of the best I've ever read.

Loved series one and have rewatched it several times, but you do have to accept it as a different entity to the books - there's so much written detail that there was no way it could translate into 8 episodes.

Watched Ep 1 of S2 last night and loved it! Have access to all on Sky but trying not to binge too quickly.

Where is Gallowglass? I can't wait!

For the the book lovers, there's an article here about how much they had to change the book for S2:

I read the trilogy over my Christmas break and really enjoyed it. I had watched season 1 on sky and was strangely addicted to it even though I thought some of the writing and acting wasn't the best.
Have sat down today and binge watched the first 4 episodes of series 2 and I think it's shaping up to be much better than the first one.... And Gallowglass has made an appearance 😁

Gallowglass towards the end of episode 3. Am onto 4 already and loving it-trying not to binge though and rush!😉

I bookmarked after this (and another?) thread and watched episode 1.

It just seemed like a cheap and cheesy imitation of Outlander.

@stumbledin Gallowglass is played by Steven Cree who was the Elder Ian Murray in Outlander. And agree its not as good as Outlander

I'm finding season 2 a bit more difficult to get into than season 1

In fact I did watch Season 1. It had some of my favourite actresses in, but I suppose we wont see them this time. Although poor Sheil Hancock seems to have been dragged into this end of term pantomime!

I didn't recognise Steven Cree but did recognise without knowing who he is the young one with the floppy hair who often plays posh boys in contemporary drama and this time it Kit Marlow(?).

Ditto

Loved s1

Struggling with e1 s2

I'm watched 3 episodes and I'm not enjoying it particularly but will stick with it.
