The streets are filled with a diverse range of people, nearly all of whom look like they're wearing lived-in clothes, not costumes.
A Discovery of Witches (2018-) is a TV adaptation of a book trilogy by Deborah Harkness. In the first book/season, a modern historian discovers a magical book at an Oxford University library, which leads to her embracing the fact that she is a witch, as well as meeting other “creatures,” including demons and vampires — and falling in love with one of the latter. In the second book/season, Diana and her vampire boyfriend Matthew go back to Elizabethan England — 1590 to be specific. I’ve been seeing lots of images from season 2 and been generally impressed, but it’s taken me until now to watch the series.

The demons seemed almost like an afterthought in the series, or at least not as important as witches and vampires. I haven’t read the books, so I don’t know if it is the same.
Leather pants are timeless? Since when?
Yeah, I side-eye that too!

I thoroughly enjoyed the books and the TV series. Thank you for a great analysis of Season 2’s costumes.
