MAYFAIR WITCHES (Spoilers/No Spoilers)
Just watched the first episode on AMC+ then on regular AMC. The most I can say is that they probably did the best they could do by compressing what should have been at least a 6 hour 2 part mini series into a single 1 hour episode.
They completely circumvent the great wealth that Rowan's adoptive parents have, the amazing glass house they live in and roll it all into Rowan living on a boat. They drop the death of her adoptive father and the roll she played in that. They have not yet even mentioned Michael though it ends on the boat in a major storm so that still may come.
Courtland is introduced in the series long before he is in the books. Lasher's status is revealed long before it is in the books as well. But his involvement with the Mayfair family revealed early and in a way that is not all that off.
For those who have not read the books the time jumping will probably not make a lot of sense and may leave a lot of folks confused to the point of not continuing to watch this season.
I am not giving up on it yet and will at least watch the next episode but at this point I don't have a lot of faith. Where The Interview With A Vampire is in many ways improved by the condensation of events and the gaying up of the characters I don't feel that the Mayfair Witches will benefit.
