Last year, I listened to the audiobooks for the All Souls Trilogy (please do not mistake my dedication to finishing the series as endorsement. These books are terrible. And they had such potential. But. No, I do not suggest them.), which I’m sure some of you know were made into a TV series named after the first book, A Discovery of Witches. Today, I was actually wanting to watch like Twilight or The Hunger Games but I cannot figure out who has the streaming rights right now (my Roku says Peacock, but Peacock denies it), so I’ve settled on ADoW. And I cannot express how shocking it was to see Alex Kingston’s name attached to this project (like, that is shocking by itself. Alex, bb, international treasure, what are you doing?), and then find out that, even though half of this story takes place in England, Alex is playing one of the American characters. Absolutely bonkers. I’ve never heard this woman do an American accent and her voice sounds so different. She’s killing it per usual. But, seriously, it was so jarring when she first spoke.
