	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"The show has a sincerity about its silliness and light spookiness; for a moment there, it’s almost as if 'True Blood' tried to conceive a demon baby with 'Bunheads'. It didn’t turn out quite right."	NEG
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"Though the show is a drama, it is served up with a droll comic sensibility that is a refreshing change."	POS
United States	Allison Keene The Hollywood Reporter	"'Witches of East End' doesn't overdo the mythology (like 'Sleepy Hollow') or make it all about the sex (like 'True Blood'). Instead, it set up a complicated interpersonal world, a plausible (...) backstory, and then populated the town with really good-looking people."	POS
United States	Geoff Berkshire Variety	"Even if the series plays it right down the middle--it’s not exactly good, but not terrible either--that might be all that’s needed to succeed."	NEU
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"While all the characters have boilerplate for bones--the brainy one, the pretty one, the smart aleck, the tortured hunk--crisp writing and buoyant performances keep the story from trending too trite."	NEU
