Summary: Set in the volatile world of 17th century Massachusetts, 'Salem' explores what really fueled the town's infamous witch trials and dares to uncover the dark, supernatural truth hiding behind the veil of this infamous period in American history. In Salem, witches are real, but they are not who or what they seem. (IMDb)
Genre: Drama | Sci-Fi | Thriller
First thing first, I absolutely love witches, and I've even written a fiction book on witches, so when a friend of mine posted to my Facebook wall the trailers, I was beyond excited.
Have you watched the trailer yet?
I'm stoked to see how the series plays out, my only issue was Shane West's acting; he's the protagonist in the series, he's somewhat a focus point, but it seems like his language, mannerisms, and other character traits are just not believable for someone of that era, and it's very distracting. I loved him in Nikita, but within Salem, I think they could have spent their money casting someone that could act instead of someone who was "famous".
My thoughts...
Interesting premise. I like that they're playing on the history and also that there's a twist on that history. I will stick the rest of the series out, and try and make sure to keep you updated on my thoughts.
I thought some of the parts were super creepy; lizard with its eyes stitched shut, swallowing frogs, having teets on legs, that creepy girl when she was crawling.
All of the above make me shiver like crazy. Oh, and a bonus is that I love the graphic title card placed above. I love the typography for "SALEM".
Did you watch this pilot?
Are you going to continue watching?
