Rowan Fielding, a young neurosurgeon, learns she is the last heir to a family of witches, and that a presence has followed her bloodline for generations.
Starring Alexandra Daddario, Jack Huston, Tongayi Chirisa
A gothic family saga played straight, half soap and half opera, it suits viewers who like stories of inherited power; no need to know the books. Harry Hamlin plays the scheming patriarch Cortland with obvious relish. A drunk Rowan waltzing beside a New Orleans street funeral parade is typical of its scenes, strange and a little theatrical. It is less lush than the vampire shows from the same network.
Season one is slow; season two adds new regulars and moves faster, so give the first season some patience.
