Talamasca: The Secret Order

The Talamasca has centuries of history that could have been explored from it's origin story to present day,as a fan of Rice's stories the Talamasca has always been a mysterious organization I wished she would have given more stories about,when I heard about the series I had hoped that it was going to be the Talamasca's story but instead they chose to make it just some generic type of supernatural series with the name Talamasca to rope in fans of the books. It's a shame because there was so much material that was there to be mined,I'm not sure the fans will stick with this series,Iwill watch for a few more eps but I'not holding out hope that it will me what I need.

It would have been more compelling to have the original characters from the novels in this series. I've read she sold 100 million books so there are fans that complain about essential people being completely left out of the story. To me that was a mistake as most people who are interested in the series read the books. I read them because of the way Anne wrote history and how she intertwined world events throughout the series. I will keep watching though, it's not bad.

Was really hoping for something intriguing and enjoyable but the main character, who's supposed to be bright, isn't. Kept thinking about the writers conference where someone threw out the idea that they should make a series with Napoleon Dynamite and vampires. Will give it one more episode before giving up completely.

The series itself is a great concept. Well acted. Well done. William Fichtner is great. As usual. The thing that bothers me is the 'decoding the episode' shorts they do after the episodes. It's seriously an insult to the viewer's intelligence. You do not need to explain what happened in the episode. Let the viewer work it out. Don't spoon feed them. It's honestly quite insulting.

They tried to mask it up as something special by adding a great actor - a couple of interesting characters. Pretty people and sometimes sexy storylines - in the end it's just boring -I'd love to be wrong - turn it around and make it good. MAKE IT GOOD ... NOT EVEN GREAT - I will continue to watch because everything else is bad, but that's not what you want this CALIBER show to be -I mean the story by ep 1 was predictable, by ep 3 was boring and by 4 made me write this review. Girl, you had me by the premise, you lost me by ... I'll find out.
