What a shame Anne Rice fans are disappointed in this series. Having not read the books, I watched it without expectation or prior knowledge, and it blew my mind!
I'm not an avid fan of supernatural storylines, but I was swept away by the twists and turns and power play of Mayfair Witches. What an adventure! The seductive, possessive force frightened the living daylights out of me. It really did. I also loved the scenes where a character gets lost and a helper guides him back (I'm trying not give too much away). Absolutely brilliant. I really hope the low rating doesn't put people off. If you haven't read the books you are in for a big surprise. If you have, be gentle: this is still a very evocative, well crafted, incredibly well acted production that deserves praise.

What a film! I laughed and smiled from start to finish; I found the scenes on the yacht especially funny. It has a great cast (absolutely brilliant) and the juxtaposition of the internal world of Aniston and Sandler's relationship against the outside world of the film makes for one of the entertaining observational / comedy of manners films I have ever watched. Of course one has to be able to 'observe' the comedy to find the film funny. The reviewers that give this film less than 5 are either being obtuse or they lack observation skills. I for one will be watching this time and time again.
I suggest you save this for a weekend but make sure you are in a setting where you can really engage with every element of the film. I watched it alone and laughed so much I was worried the neighbours must have thought I'd gone stark raving mad.
The production values, right down to the fancy end credits are high. Take no notice of the bad reviews; this is a special film.

This show is messed up beyond all reasonable standards. It's absolutely brilliant. It took a while for me to adjust to the initial characters Carole and Phil, but once it gets going their development and those that join them make for a very entertaining show. It's great. The script is a masturbaturium of intertextual brain food. It was so funny in places that I peed a little; not a toilet amount, just a little. I am in awe it just how committed each character was to their role. How Will Forte kept it going over so many episodes I don't know. It's a shame I didn't come across in the midst of Covid lockdown. It's also a shame the writers didn't continue and finish the series. This could have gone on and on...
