Motherland Fort Salem S01E02 480p WEBRip x264
I am basing this quick review on the first 4 episodes only. I was assuming this would be generically feminist hollywood garbage but so far the show has proved very entertaining without too much cringe. It does seem to be geared for a younger (perhaps even younger female audience) never the less there is enough action, drama and intrigue to hold an older audience captive. The show genuinely does seem to work at several levels. A show centered around 3 young (dare I even say, attractive) female warriors with magical abilities (witches). We also get to see the evil Spree (terrorist witch faction) in action. The show seems surprisingly patriotic at times although I wonder if there will be a schism at some point between the human government and the Witch army. There is some interpersonal drama between the main characters as well as the greater drama evolving around them in their world. Its interesting to see the differences between the real world and this alternate reality were witches are an integral (and often scary) part of every day existence. I look forward to the rest of the first season.
