Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAnne Rice's New Orleans Garden District home was the setting of the Mayfairs' ancestral home in the novels. For those who are not local to the area, The Garden District is just outside the Central Business District, and area is known for its opulent mansions and oak tree-lined streets, the St. Charles streetcar, Magazine street shopping and restaurants, the renowned Commander's Palace restaurant, and the historic Lafayette Cemetery No. 1
- Crazy creditsThe portraits of various members of the Mayfair family, especially the woman, were arranged on a wall, with roots growing amongst them establishing the familial connection, similar to a family tree diagram or pedigree chart.
Featured review
Michael Curry
I have a HUGE problem with the fact that there is no Michael Curry in this show. How could they leave him out? He's too important and it's as much his story as Rowan's. To me, he's the heart of the first book - not to mean the center, but the actual heart. And I know Anne Rice put so much of herself into his character as far as his personality, beliefs, background, even the surname Curry is from her own family. He's practically the male version of herself. It seems unforgivable to just leave him behind.
And no Aaron Lightner either? Another wonderful character left out. I read that they basically combined MIchael and Aaron into the character of Ciprien, who of course isn't in the book at all. I mean those two are probably most people's favorite characters from the book. I know they are mine. And Alexandra Daddario, lovely though she is, is not the right choice to play a character as confident, capable, and immensely strong as Rowan. Rowan is a force of nature.
I had been SO excited about this show the moment I heard they were adapting The Witching Hour but knew that with such a complex story with so many characters stretched over three centuries, there were so many ways they could screw this up. It already looks like my fears are being realized.
