The witch trend continues on FreeformTV 's supernatural drama about cadets learning to conjure at a military academy. Read THR's review for MotherlandFortSalem:
, in which witches revealed their existence to the world 300 years ago and have since served as the nation's soldiers, offers the kind of sprawling world-building for which television is an ideal medium. After reaching an accord with the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1692 — when conditions were less than favorable to their kind — the witches of the New World have fought America's wars against those of other countries.
The unending war the witches are to fight is the one against the Spree — decentralized cells of conjurers whose trademark is cerulean balloons. But first, Raelle needs to butt heads with Abigail, who needs to be taught a lesson by Tally, who needs to fall in love for the first time, all with the spark and spontaneity of a ticking clock.
The Spree infiltrates the academy before the arrival of the new class, making these squabbles and affairs feel insignificant. It doesn't help that the young cast has trouble with the wordy dialogue, especially in the exposition-heavy pilot. The humorlessness and futuristic turmeric-toned palette of the first six episodes are occasionally broken up by surreal whimsy, but the latter ultimately underscores the wasted potential of the vast, if possibly under-thought, world-building at hand.
But perhaps the most notable invention is the show's vision of female leadership and dynastic matrilineality. Women wear authority in an array of styles , recruits openly gawp at female celebrity generals and young witches are taught their female ancestry. Cast: Taylor Hickson, Jessica Sutton, Ashley Nicole Williams, Lyne Renée
