Set in an alternate America where witches ended their persecution over 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the government to fight for their country, "Motherland: Fort Salem" follows three young women from basic training in combat magic into early deployment. In this world, the traditional roles of gender and power are flipped, with the more dominant women on the front lines fighting looming terrorist threats that are familiar to our world-but with supernatural tactics and weapons.

    • Trivia
      Motherland: Fort Salem is not the first show with the concept of witches as a military power. The anime "Strike Witches" (2006) and the Strike Witches franchise is a direct and obvious influence with many plot devices being the same.

    Original and Different
    I've never been really interest in anything army related, but this show has really peaked my interest in terms of its style and approach to serving your country.

    At first it started off slow for me, but I gathered that was because they were trying to establish the world, but saying that every episode has gotten better and I've honestly never seen anything like this on TV. I really think the story is original and fresh, and a has really interesting spin on the idea of Salem and Witches. Each character comes across a certain way but as the show progresses they are not what the seem and a layer of who they are is pulled back, which is always good to see with characters.

    I really hope this show gets a second season as it has a lot to offer in terms of the world and the rules of it.

    I have seen that a lot of men have been giving it bad reviews which is not surprising. Men always seem to have more negative things to say when a story is centred on women for a change.
