I stumbled across this on Hulu. Not a bad show in my opinion.

I like the fact that the protagonist is a skeptic and doesn’t adhere to 17th century ideology.  
If you haven’t seen this show, I’d say it’s comparable to Grimm. It’s not quite as good, but a nice “tide me over” between seasons.

I’m a few episodes behind. It started off slowly, but has gotten somewhat better each episode. Honestly, the only reason I’m probably still watching is because a friend is in it.

Cool, if ya’ don’t mind sharing, what part does your friend play?

She plays Gloriana, the prostitute Cotton Mather is in love with.
