Opisy(1)
Główną bohaterką serialu jest Diana Bishop – zdolna i ambitna doktor nauk humanistycznych, która każdą wolną chwilę spędza w salach wykładowych Oxfordu lub w bibliotece. Kobieta rozwija swoją karierę, życie prowadzi w godny do pozazdroszczenia sposób, ale pod płaszczykiem normalności ukrywa mroczną tajemnicę – jest czarownicą. I podobnie jak każdy wampir czy demon dokłada wszelkich starań, żeby ten fakt nie ujrzał światła dziennego. Pewnego razu Diana w magiczny sposób przywołuje do siebie pradawną księgę, która do tej pory nie ukazała się nikomu z żyjących, i w której znajdują się reguły oraz prawdy dotyczące pochodzenia wszystkich magicznych gatunków. Zdarzenie to sprawia, że wokół czarownicy zaczynają gromadzić się przedstawiciele innych gatunków, pragnący zdobyć księgę na własność. Najbardziej zainteresowany jest Matthew Clairmont, kilkusetletni wampir, z którym Diana wdaje się w romans. (HBO)

Księga czarownic (2018)
At first, I was hoping for a decent fantasy series (perhaps even with horror elements), but it soon became clear that the creators had decided to nip my hopes in the bud. The romantic storyline quickly took over and the series became a cross between The Vampire Diaries and The Twilight Saga, so I'm proud of myself for making it to the end of the first season. 3*-

Episode 1 (2018) (S01E01)
I gave the first episode a cautious three stars. The concept of gifted (or cursed) beings living among humans could be really intriguing, but I’m not sure if it’s not going to spiral into a weird romance. There were a lot of unnecessarily long eye-gazing, which made me nervous. Please, just don’t turn this into another Twilight saga, I’m begging you...

Episode 2 (2018) (S01E02)
Still hanging in there with three stars, but my concerns are growing. I have a bad feeling that the inevitable romantic subplot is going to gradually bury all the mystery and fun. On the bright side, it’s refreshing to see that the main roles aren’t played by some pretentious teens. Dr. Bishop is quite captivating, and so far, Professor Clairmont isn’t getting on my nerves either.

Episode 3 (2018) (S01E03)
The highlights of this episode were definitely that Dr. Bishop remains easy on the eyes and that the plot actually made some progress. On the downside, the romantic subplot is taking up way too much screen time. I also found it annoying that we’ve seen several demons by now, but it’s still not clear why they’re called demons since they don’t seem to act any differently from regular people. Couldn’t they just be called humans?

Episode 4 (2018) (S01E04)
For the first time, I was genuinely satisfied with the episode. But then the creators couldn’t resist shoehorning in gender and racial issues among the vampires, demons, and witches, in line with current trends. It felt so forced and unnecessary, it just ruined the experience for me.

Episode 5 (2018) (S01E05)
Well, here we are. Dr. Bishop is lucky her heart rate doesn’t spike during intimate moments, or the professor surely wouldn’t be able to control himself, and the series would have to end early. It’s sad because the show had decent potential, but now it’s likely to become just another easily forgettable series. And that awful music during the love scenes... why?

Episode 6 (2018) (S01E06)
The supposedly terrifying Satu turned out to be a pretty incompetent torturer. I'm no witch, but I know a few effective ways to cause pain, and aside from the back-burning, her methods were pretty mild. The whole episode felt a bit weak, and the only part I really enjoyed was the segment with Meridian.

Episode 7 (2018) (S01E07)
This episode, which shed light on past events, wasn’t as bad as the previous one, but I feel like the creators keep ending the episodes in very similar ways. I’m also bothered by the writer's inconsistencies. At one moment, the vampire is troubled by his agitated blood, but in the next, he’s completely fine. Plus, despite his great instincts, he fails to detect another undead. They really need to sort out these logical flaws.

Episode 8 (2018) (S01E08)
The season finale convinced me that I should probably skip the upcoming seasons. Instead of focusing on mysteries and intrigue, the plot centered once again on the relationship between the main characters. The opening scene really put me off, and the cliffhanger ending didn’t do much to entice me to watch more.
