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.
They ripped it apart and dissected the story until it was just a horrible shadow of one of Mrs. Rice best work. Absolutely heartbreaking, sad…!!!
I'm furious they removed Michael from the story entirely. This is a different story not Mayfair witches
Me too,Michael was Rowan's balance...her heart,her moral centre. I'm giving the show a chance but the changes are very jarring
@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 completely understand Anne Rice now. She didn't want her books butchered and that's exactly what happened.
So similar to V.C. Andrews. Are you familiar?
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 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. Comic book fans can get a dozen Batman movies, and appreciate that each one is a different interpretation of the character, or reworking of his story and be cool with it. But book readers? Sheesh. And I say this as an avid book reader.
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.
@@karlosoze844 You are welcome to your opinion, which is clearly that of a book devotee. I like the show just fine so far, and there are more people who have never read anything of Rice's than devotees, so...🤷♀️
@@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 wish they had begun to series just as the novels did. I would find it a lot more relatable and wouldn't feel lost trying to untangle this.
What would be the point in watching when you would already know exactly what is going to happen?
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.
@@florenciasanchez8362 From the show: "...Ciprien Grieve, an agent of the Talamasca assigned to Rowan, and a combination of the characters Michael Curry and Aaron Lightner from the novels
@@florenciasanchez8362 I was doing the same thing. Oh I guess I can let that slide ... who am I kidding? The whole show is just a great big giant ball of WRONG! Harry Hamlin as Courtland is horrible casting. Without Michael how will Rowan give birth? I guess it would be fine for the viewers who never read the books but I am having a difficult time especially since Anne Rice had a hand in its production. It's TV. You can literally tell the story as it was written over several seasons. I personally do not want the watered down, abridged version of one of my favorite trilogies. Okay rant is done. ✌
I read all the novels…I dug what they are doing with the source material…I’m looking forward to the rest of the series…
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 whole thing is just ass backwards. This isn’t the Mayfair witches. I don’t know what this is.
For those asking about Michael Curry...from the official show page:
"...Ciprien Grieve, an agent of the Talamasca assigned to Rowan, and a combination of the characters Michael Curry and Aaron Lightner from the novels."
Michael Curry and his relationship with Rowan is integral to the the story. He was sacrificed at the altar of identity politics.
@@karlosoze844 "Identity politics" Lawd, what does that even mean? Lol It's like another term Americans like to throw around the internet "virtue signalling". 🙄 I get the impression these terms are used anytime characters in shows/movies are not straight white males, or have been recast from such. Personally I don't care what race or sex a character is, so long as they are well written and the actor chosen knocks it out the park.
Except he's nothing like Michael and except for the power assigned to him, he's nothing like Aaron.
A great modern day, New Orleans ghost story this might be.
"The Mayfair Witches" it is NOT.
Wow I'm hooked already. Loved the first episode 😍
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.
Don't give them any more views, so this steaming heap of garbage can get canceled.
I loved the first episode!
Woah, pretty massive deviations there… still, I’m hoping they craft something magical & mesmerizing.
I dont know if I'll watch it. Michael is just as important as Rowan, to write him out is crazy.
I don;t understand why AMC wants to make all Anne Rice works "woke". We get it....diversity is important. But so is staying true to the.fucking.story.
AMC SHOULDNT HAVE ALLOWED THIS TO BE BROUGHT TO TELEVISION WHEN THE SOURCE MATERIAL WAS SO UTTERLY IGNORED AND THROWN TO THIS SIDE (ANNE RICE WOULD BE TURNING IN HER MAUSOLEUM) NOT TO MENTION THIS SHOW IS MOVING AT TO SLOW OF A PACE... AND DOESNT REALLY GET INTERESTING TIL EPISODE 5
I DONT SEE IT BEING RENEWED
Fingers crossed its not! I am NOT giving them my view.
oh no I see a lot of people in the comments dont like the show. Ive never read the books, I just happened upon this show recently, I dont watch many shows as not many pique my interest but this one has me super engaged!
Why does AMC want to give away the whole plot of the series in this preview??
Great novel lousy show
Even if you didn’t read the books this show sucks. Deer eyed, cant close her mouth Rowan and sleazy Lasher are just a few atrocities…
🤣🤣🤣 another mouth breather? (Reference to the twlight series Honest Trailer)
♥️♥️♥️awesome show♥️♥️♥️
Wait what, they didn’t include Michael Curry? Ok, there’s no story here then n not a good adaptation
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.
What changes have the serie with the book ?, Michael Curry is not in the serie ?, AND what happend with Aaron lightern.
I believe they combined them both and made Ciprien.
@@snoopygonewilder OMG , why ?
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!
Awesome series and amazing actress
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.
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
This might work . . . Lasher as a Spirit - Born again . . A 13th Witch . . .
One can only gain+
Where can I watch these series?
Amc+
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 How many creatures are in this universe again?!
@@Artorion Vampires, witches and the Taltos as far as I can remember.
@@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... 😂
will we see Stella? And Deborah?
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
its not - i have the same problem. AMC+ really fucked us over. Its all confusing since we got Interview the same time as the rest of the world
Can you please stop being horrible to Australian fans and make this available in Australia? It's quite rude! 😡
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.
"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.
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!!!!!!
Show is boring it's like the only reason they made it is to show a brunette with blue eyes
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.
I find these series to be very slow and boring. After episode 3, I am done with this boring series.
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 😒
This looks woke af here we go again
I PAID FOR A SUBSCRIPTION JUST TO WATCH THIS SERIES AND THEY DESTROYED IT!
