Inspired by Melissa de la Cruz’s New York Times best-selling novel, "Witches of East End" centers on the mysterious Beauchamp family: free-spirited artist Joanna (Julia Ormond) and her two grown daughters, wild-child bartender Freya (Dewan Tatum) and shy librarian Ingrid (Rachel Boston), both of whom are unaware that they are gifted (and cursed) with a magical birthright.Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv at Home Game online for Live stream Video on your Online TV Broad cast Freya is recently engaged to the man of her dreams, wealthy playboy Dash Gardiner (Eric Winter), but when she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Dash’s troubled, enigmatic brother Killian (Daniel DiTomasso), bizarre occurrences begin to manifest in her life. Meanwhile, Joanna’s long-estranged sister Wendy (Mädchen Amick) shows up with a warning that could change the Beauchamps’ fate forever, forcing Joanna to reveal to her daughters that they are, indeed, immortal witches who possess great untapped powers. With their idyllic small-town life now turned upside down, and a formidable and ancient enemy intent on ending the Beauchamp family line, will Freya and Ingrid be able to accept their true potential before it is too late?I liked the pilot, and actually wished it would have been a bit longer. Its a light show, but fun. It's like Practical Magic (the movie), in that it combines a little dark, with light comedy. It is probably a bit younger than you'd expect for a Lifetime show, but based on the pilot, I'll be watching the next episode. The acting is good enough for the characters (I don't expect Emmy nominations though). I was glad to see Julia Ormond again, and I think Jenna Dewan Tatum is perfect for the role. The story seems to be set up nicely so that there will be some depth and twists to look forward to. We'll definitely have flashbacks and perilous situations to look forward to. A light alternative for Sunday nights. This show is exactly what you will expect it to be and then some!
I was somewhat skeptical at first, given the short lived rise and fall of the secret circle, but I can't help but feel like this show really has some great potential, and will remain a must-see in your weekly TV rota. With very charmed-like characters and an immediate fondness for the protagonists, my intrigue was surely hooked.
Alongside the endearing and oh-so-steamy cast is a thorough and well developed story-line of family, betrayal and of course, magic! Gone are the days where you will underwhelmed by low budget special effects shaping shiny blue lights and glitter that falls from the sky. From what we have seen so far they have really implemented intelligent and effective directing to encapsulate the thrills associated with magic and bring some justice back to this witchy genre.The show has Julia Ormand... if you're a fan, check it out because she looks great.
The show itself seems to be a light version of similar stuff but not moody or pretentious. The special effects are subtle and at times very slick. The plot seems interesting enough though not particularly new. The actors are, well let's just say some are better than others.
The show is essentially fluff but it didn't bug me. But I'm not sure who the target audience is because the pilot seemed to swing awkwardly from youngsters to adults. At times I felt like I was watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch and then all of a sudden it became an episode of Night Gallery. If they go the Night Gallery route, that would be cool. If they go the Sabrina route they better hire some comedy writers.
Frankly I think it will probably crash and burn ... which is unfortunate because, did I mention, it has Julia Ormand in it.
