Salem, now in its 秒 season is a great guilty pleasure for the casual または serious student/expert of the real Salem trials of 1692. Yes, it is set in 1692 and uses many of the names from history and real tidbits of history, but this is definitely an alternative universe view of the Salem trials. It is tons of fun and well cast and acted.

I'm hoping "Salem" might lead to an equally fascinating...
