Advance review: The Salem witch trials are a tragic event in United States history. Hysteria, paranoia, sexism, and other factors combined to create a horrible storm, and people died. The new series from WGN America – their first original scripted series, actually - shapes an alternate history for the event: what if witches were real and they were orchestrating all of it?
As far as hooks go, it's intriguing. Setting up a world that not only has supernatural and horror elements adds a certain layer of depth, but even more is added by this huge secret hanging over the town of Salem. Many citizens have to hold information near and dear to stay away from the gallows, and others lead opposing duel lives. That dynamic gives you captivating characters from the get-go.
