Season 1 Review: While the first season of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches is ultimately a very different beast than the books upon which the show is based, it’s also in many ways, a better, more coherent experience. A slow-burn saga that is heavy on atmosphere and low on easy or immediate answers. Read full review

Collider Carly Lane

Season 1 Review: This adaptation has barely scratched the surface of just how bonkers it could possibly get. The glimmers of that promise yet remain, beneath a slow-burn story and a modern Gothic setting that continues to build out Rice's legendary world even further. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Honestly, this is all…generally fine? It’s not particularly true to the novels—even more so than the first season, and you really feel the absence of Mona Mayfair and Michael Curry this time around—but it’s not terrible. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There’s a bit too much dross amid what works. ... Through it all, Daddario proves herself an able performer once again. Even as one wishes something more from the show surrounding her, she makes the part her own. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Plays like a weak Gothic stepsister to last year’s more compellingly erotic AMC adaptation of Rice’s Interview With the Vampire. [16 - 29 Jan 2023, p.6] Read full review

Season 1 Review: Barring a yet-untapped reservoir of magic, this tepid cauldron of gothic horror looks like the product of plenty of toil that, as viewing commitments go, might not be worth the trouble. Read full review

Angie Han

Jan 5, 2023

Season 1 Review: There’s a point at which an alluring enigma begins to look like frustrating opacity. ... Absent characters worth loving or a plot clear enough to follow, what we’re left with is faint exasperation at a world that, for all its superficial and fleeting charms, seems to make no sense at all.

This show is just like reading an Ann Rice novel. Nice slow burn and mystery love it.

Slow, drawn out, base and uninteresting. Lifetime and CW get it on. Bah! I never read the books, although I did read the Vampire Chronicles, so I'm familiar with Anne Rice's writing style. This does not strike me as her work. But again, I did not read the Mayfair Witches books. Regardless,Slow, drawn out, base and uninteresting. Lifetime and CW get it on. Bah! I never read the books, although I did read the Vampire Chronicles, so I'm familiar with Anne Rice's writing style. This does not strike me as her work. But again, I did not read the Mayfair Witches books. Regardless, this show is boring and uninteresting. And so is the current Vampire series. However, I did enjoy the 1994 and 2002 movies. So my take away is the modern versions are boring and stupid. This is consistent with almost every other show and movie in recent years. Most of what comes out these days is so poorly written, even when it's drawn from good source material, it is unwatchable. This show is more of that. There is an entire generation of incompetent, inept buffoons faking it at being writers in the entertainment industry and they keep putting out crap shows. When I hear about a show that might interest me, I just assume it will be bad, and I'm rarely wrong. The only new show I liked from 2022 was Wednesday. We are suffering through the dark ages of entertainment and the plague has swept through and killed off all the beloved IPs.… Expand
