Set in an alternate America where witches ended their persecution nearly 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the U.S. government to fight for their country, “Motherland: Fort Salem” follows three young women from basic training in combat magic into early deployment.

Raelle, Tally and Abigail confront higher stakes, dangerous magic and a new threat from an ancient group of witch hunters, The Camarilla. Their training is intensified when they are promoted to attend War College, where their magic, relationships and beliefs will be pushed to the limits. While General Alder seeks out new witches to join the wars to come, The Spree and the Army learn their fight may no longer be with one another.

Without a military nor a home, Abigail, Tally, Raelle and Scylla seek protection alongside the Dodger community in the Cession — but laying low and staying out of trouble has never been their strong suit. With witch hunters working against them from inside the White House, our heroes must call upon ancient forces in the final battle for their right to exist.

Okay so here are my thoughts on this show it's action packed and full of excitement the story moves fast the magic of this show just ozzes off the screen I was surprised to see so much lesbianism but it really doesn't bother me just a shock but I truly do love this show it's a rare gem so so good

okay ill start by saying that i personally love this show so much going on theres action story good plot adventure so much to enjoy the beautiful women dont exactly hurt the show either but the action and horror level at times can be very high so i dont recommend it for the youngest of kids but that aside i think its wonderful

Motherland: Fort Salem was very interesting. Like Charmed meets Jarhead. A diverse show that you would expect on the SyFy channel like Firefly, Dark Matter, Wynonna Earp or Van Helsing. Though I was disappointed that their powers come from vocalization - kinda like sirens or banshees. Might as well be either that. No point being called witches; I would've thought there would be some spell casting or something. But that's just me. It was good nonetheless. Though the ending...the last minute twist, I saw coming. Whereas everything else, I would like to see in the second series.
