No Michael, No Aaron, no magazine Street, no maifairs beyond the grave telling Michael about the doorway, and the Mayfair emerald looks like a Walmart Halloween costume accessory. Wow.
@UCtshuDNfTugN3W6DC0DpfBg I have a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the books,read them all several times. Thats why the changes in the series are so worrisome to me.
Unfortunately, it appears no one associated with this production read the source material LOL Cortland Mayfair was 80 when Rowen was born. Without Michael Curry there is no story. Even with her tendency to use 27 words when 6 will do, Anne Rice created the closest thing to perfect when she wrote The Mayfair Witches. It's television for heavens sake, this could be told over how many episodes necessary to tell the story as AR wrote it!
I thought it was just me. It has been a lot of years since I read the book but I thought Michael was an integral part of the story in the beginning. Or am I thinking of another one of her books? As confused as I am I will still watch and see where they take it.
I am beyound furious. Just finished watching this trash with Anne Rice's title slapped on it. So wrong in every single way. I was so excited when I saw the show pop up in my suggestions, as these books have never been made for screen, but alas. This is equally as bad as that God awful queen of the damned, which, along with the witching hour, are my absolute favorite books of Anne Rice. Should have known too as soon as I saw a picture of supposed Rowan, who looks more like she should have played Deidre. WHY CAN THEY NEVER DO JUSTICE TO AMAZING BOOKS??? 😭😭😭😭 Welp. Gonna go read the book now to cleanse my palette from this garbage heap.
I was also confused by what they were doing with the timeline and the family tree. Like, she is supposed to be the 13th witch (or something. It's been a long time since I've read it, so some details are fuzzy) and so by the time they get to Stella, how many more witches are they gonna add to get to Rowan.. looks like they are not going to follow ANY of the plot lines in the books and just do whatever the frak they want.
They clearly read the book because certain details are the exact same it's also one episode of a 8 episode series. We will meet other Mayfairs from the trailer.
@@ksy4747 the book jumps across time in the past with the other Mayfair we may it may not meet them all for budgetary reasons at least not this season. The main story with Lasher and Rowan seems to be the exact same thing if you've read the book.
I am always thankful to have never read the books that tv shows are based on. I can just go in watch the show and enjoy it for what it is, rather go in expecting a tv show (compressed time and allowable themes/scenes) to be exactly like a book.
This is what really annoys me with book readers. Although I have sometimes read source material before it was turned into a movie/tv show, I’d never expect the show/movie to be a carbon copy of the written material.
@@theonlyonewithgum1452 Super annoying. Just whine and complain, sheesh.

There's whining and complaining because a show is not exactly how the reader imagined it in their head, and then there is recognizing that something is objectively terrible, takes a DUMP on the source material, with no intention of retaining the soul of what made it great in the first place. This is nothing more than strip-mining an existing IP for its name recognition. This show is garbage whether you've read the books or not.

@@JanJan-lh6sh Book Devotee is inaccurate for me personally, but let's set that aside. Have you watched AMC's adaptation of Interview with the Vampire? If not, I invite you to do so (because it's awesome) but also because once you do so I really believe you will be able to discern the difference in quality. They are like night and day in that regard. The biggest problem I have with Mayfair is not that I think it's a crap show. I can just choose not to watch a crap show. I like the books a lot but it's not like, my religion or anything. My main issue with Mayfair is that it is tied to Vampire by AMC's hope (and title card) for their "Immortal Universe". Unless Mayfair gets a whole lot better I feel like its terrible reviews and CW level writing/acting will taint and tank a show that is far better and has real potential.
I've read all the books and loved them. The series is very different but it captures the essence and that is ok by me. It's entertaining because I don't know what is going to happen. So, I am seeing this for what it is- a very, very good series! I am thoroughly enjoying it and all the magic!
This isn't even an adaptation of Anne Rice's books about the Mayfair Witches...they just slapped her name on it. Don't bother with this show...just read the books; you'll enjoy the story far more!
I've read the books and watched the first episode ... where is Micheal Curry? Plus it is only 8 episodes so I am going to wait until the whole series is done and over before I even begin to watch it. It says produced by Anne Rice and her son so I honestly don't understand omitting a character as pivotal as Michael. Seriously! He is in the entire book! This is like doing Interview with the Vampire without Lestat!
This seems like a completely different story. I've read all of the books, I'm curious to see how this plays out. And where is Michael Curry wasn't he the one that wound up wearing the gloves with super sensory perceptions? I don't recall anyone in the Talamasca having powers. Oh, don't even get me started about the emerald necklace!!!
The black guy (sorry forgot his vharacter name) is supposed to be a combo of two characters from the book. He displays the same touching and seeing beyond the veil powers, so this is possibly where the missing character is.
No Michael (the love), no Aarón (the heart), the necklace is terrible, but... but I could forgive all that (not really) but show Rowan like an afraid lost little child, Rowan? Really? Are you guys serious?! C'mon! She is the strongest, she isn't afraid of her power, in the show is a completely different person (2 episodes). And what about all the explaining at the end of each episode? Trying to justify much? I love the books, the trilogy. The witching hour is the reason I started my love of reading and this is awful, not everything can translate to the screen, I know, but some things are basic to the story.

Read the BOOKS. They are fantastic and NOTHING like this series. They leave out many key characters vital to the plot of the books. The writers basically took what they liked from the books and added their own spin to it. They should call it something else. I think Anne would have hated it.
This show is going to be complete bullshit just like Interview With the Vampire. I'm glad Anne isn't here to see this blasphemous bs. The first book was key in introducing all of the Mayfairs who were important. So what does AMC do? It cuts out 2/3rds of the characters and makes the rest look like people who play at being witches with ridiculous ceremonies that WERE NOT EVEN IN THE BOOK. Thanks but no thanks.
This is a series based on the Mayfair Witches, it's not been said it is the same as the Mayfair witches. If you don't like it you don't have to watch it!

Is this being released inAustralia? Subscribed to AMC+ for Interview and Mayfair witches but doesn’t seem like this series is released to AMC+ in Australia yet
I know people are angry about no Michael Curry. I haven't read the books so if they removed a character it wouldn't matter to me, but as far as I know, Ciprien is supposed to be a combination of Michael and someone else, so Michael is in the show. They simply gave him another name and combined his character with someone else.
the problem is Michael is a Mayfair & essential for Lasher’s plan, he can’t be Talamasca at the same time. This change means writers would either have to find another Mayfair man or Rowan-Lashers arc from the books will changed completely😕 I’m interested how this gonna play out
Ok I’m totally loving this new show and I loved the show before this interview and I have never read any of her books with that being said is there anyone out there that can please explain to me what’s with the necklace and Lasher? Also I pray there is more shows on her books.. yes if someone could plz get back to me I’d so appreciate it….😅😂
If I remember correctly, the original Mayfair witch was condemned to burn at the stake. As the flames rose she uttered a curse and became bound with a dark spirit, Lasher. She survived but the whole town burned. Lasher's is bound to the emerald and possesses the Mayfair each generation.
Okay everyone it's been nearly 25 year's since I read the books and I barely remember a thing, can anyone here tell me how often the witches and vampires crossed paths was it like a everyday thing or pretty often or even half the time or was it like every once in a while and on top of that how do they feel about one another, are any good friend's or best friend's and do any get married and do any of them fight one another?!
The first time I remember it happening was loooong after most people stopped giving a sh!t about Anne Rice Books. I think it was a book called "Blood Canticle" it had Lestat, the ghost of Claudia and some Mayfair broad in it...Fart noise. For my money, the only Anne Rice worth reading is Vampires 1-3 /skip 4 it SUCKS/ 5 is pretty good. Witches 1, maybe 2. PT3 SUCKS. She went full Catholic after that, disavowing her earlier sinful blah blah and wrote some Jesus books nobody read. Then she fell out of love with Catholics on account of all the Judgey McJudgerton and buggering little boys etc. and went back to Vampire and Witches. Those books all sucked ass. Then she died.
Honestly I felt that TALTOS was her best book by far. Taltos really tied *everything* together. The Mayfair Witches was one of my least favorites. Lasher was good. Taltos ties the whole witch/vampire world together with the Talamasca.
@@danusdragonfly6640 Maybe Taltos is better than I remember and I was just burned out on AR at the time. it was (holy shit) 25 years ago that I read them and if I remember correctly I read all 3, one after the other. I did the same thing with Brian Lumley and the Necroscope series. While I don't see myself picking them up and reading them again, I do take my vague memories and familiarity with them and listen to them on Audible, which, given their rather expansive running times, is better value for the $ than certain AMC shows I won't bother mentioning again... 😂
This show is such disappointment. I've read Vampire Chronicles books and even tho I was disappointed about how "Interview with the vampire" show changed some book storylines and changed some basic important vampire lore and relationships but STILL enjoyed the show so much. And as huge Anne Rice fan I so wanted to like this one too, seeing it's a sister show, and finally dive into world of Mayfair Witches. And I haven't read the books so I have nothing to compare with, but my god it is boring as hell! The storytelling doesn't pull me in, the characters are unlikeable.. the actors are even more annoying, and it's just drab. I had to force myself two watch last 2 episodes but I can't any more just don't care to continue.
The books are great, just started again with the "witching hour" but the series is NOT an adaptation of the books!!!!! Like all the latest book adaptations, character alterations, WOKENESS, prevails! Not worth getting Netflix for that! Stick to the books and be e tertained rather than wokeinated!!!!!!

Honestly, compared to Interview With a Vampire, Mayfair Witches is kind of boring, and too slow-paced for my liking. So far, the characters are bland and dull, and nothing seems to be happening. IWAV was way more fun to look at and just more lively. We, as an audience had a lot more personalities to work with, whereas, in Mayfair Witches, the show is just meh. It is only episode two out of 8 however, so maybe the pace will pick up, and more action will occur, but I also watched the series trailer and was not impressed. I'm quite disappointed actually. Talk about a downgrade.
You should only get AMC+ if you live in the USA, bcs their main content is only available there. If they did what Netflix does and release their content worldwide simultaneously, then they would have more subscribers. What’s the use of having great content, when you have no business sense 😒
So, i started watching this. And i like it. Alot of youtube reviewers have been acting like its the worst thing on tv. Ive not finished it yet, but the acting and cinematography is really good. The writing and pacing could improve. Its not IWTV .. but its not terrible. I mean i watched 365 Days... 🫣 ill be watching season two for sure

"Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak, from the evil of whatever He has created, and from the evil of the night when it grows dark, and from the evil of those ˹witches casting spells by˺ blowing onto knots, and from the evil of an envier when they envy.”
{Quran 113 : 1-5}
You're really barking up the wrong tree here. Quit wasting time.
@@danusdragonfly6640 i show u that witches are exist according to quran, the realionship between humankind and jinnkind are real
@@alfianifirdaus3074 Apologies then. Your post doesn't come across that way. It comes across as a religious warning against witchcraft.
@@danusdragonfly6640 another verse:
"And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden [i.e., sin]."
{Quran 72:6}
@@alfianifirdaus3074 Jinn aren't witches though. They are more like Taltos than anything else in Anne Rice's universe. So in this story Lasher would be most like a jinn.
I need to see some magic or some spells. Where is the witchcraft lol?
Honestly, compared to Interview With a Vampire, Mayfair Witches is kind of boring, and too slow-paced for my liking. So far, the characters are bland and dull, and nothing seems to be happening. IWAV was way more fun to look at and just more lively. We, as an audience had a lot more personalities to work with, whereas, in Mayfair Witches, the show is just meh. It is only episode two out of 8 however, so maybe the pace will pick up, and more action will occur, but I also watched the series trailer and was not impressed. I'm quite disappointed actually. Talk about a downgrade.
Show is boring it's like the only reason they made it is to show a brunette with blue eyes
I find these series to be very slow and boring. After episode 3, I am done with this boring series.
This looks woke af here we go again
You should only get AMC+ if you live in the USA, bcs their main content is only available there. If they did what Netflix does and release their content worldwide simultaneously, then they would have more subscribers. What’s the use of having great content, when you have no business sense 😒
So, i started watching this. And i like it. Alot of youtube reviewers have been acting like its the worst thing on tv. Ive not finished it yet, but the acting and cinematography is really good. The writing and pacing could improve. Its not IWTV .. but its not terrible. I mean i watched 365 Days... 🫣 ill be watching season two for sure
