I myself admit to having an Instagram feed full of cauldrons and sigils that are really just elaborately staged ads for bath salts — one of the sharper details of this week’s episode of What We Do In The Shadows.
'Self-care' comes up a few times in 'Witches,' and it's true that modern-day witches’ potions are more likely to be of the moisturizing and/or exfoliating variety than anything involving toad-foot powder or the blood of an unbaptized infant.
"[6] Greg Wheeler of The Review Geek gave the episode a 3.5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "While the actual drama surrounding the witches revels in its crudeness right the way through, it's the overarching narrative and progressing storyline surrounding Guillermo that's ultimately the most interesting part of this episode.
