Based on the novel by V.V. James, Sanctuary: A Witch's Tale is set in a contemporary world where witchcraft is real. It takes place in the idyllic English town of Sanctuary, where for hundreds of years witches have lived peacefully, as valued members of society. Until now... At the heart of the story is Sarah Fenn, Sanctuary's resident witch, on whom the town relies to solve their problems when conventional remedies have failed. When local teen rugby star, Dan Whithall, dies tragically in an apparent accident, his death exposes a terrifying undercurrent of suspicion and fear towards Sarah and her teenage daughter, Harper. Mother of the dead boy, Abigail, once Sarah's closest friend, is wracked with grief, and to avenge her son's death, launches a modern-day witch-hunt to get "justice", no matter what the cost. |

The first two eps were fairly boring and stereotype filled examples of yet another one of those Brit whitebread suburban family mysteries—except they threw in a little minor witchcrafty stuff in this one to make it a little different from all the other stories just like it.
And like all the others, they tossed in a tease at the end of each ep to keep us sucked in, hoping to keep us watching.
I have a bad feeling that this will end up just being another one of those shows that will go on and on like this till the end, always promising (but never actually delivering) that it will finally turn into something worth watching.
I couldn’t even make it all the way through the 1st episode before I paused it and went in search of a couple of reviews to see if it was worth investing any more time on. What I found wasn’t encouraging.
Thanks for that. You saved me some time
This show is painfully boring. I was really hoping it was going to be better. Has anyone else actually watched all of the episodes released so far? Does it get any better?
Sounds interesting and release date of January 4, 2024.
I forgot about this new drama and it starts in 2 days.
I’ve learned that with a lot of British shows, they don’t really get interesting until about the 4th episode, so I hung in there, and the ending was worth it. Since it’s named after the town, I doubt if there will be a season 2, but it was a nice little weekend binge.
