Mayfair Witches and Interview with the Vampire (TV)

[bdub76]

I’m binge watching Mayfair Witches on Hoopla right now, and it’s really good. Interview is also fantastic. Anyone else watching these?

I read a lot of Anne Rice in high school and met her at that point in time. Her books are hit or miss, but these new adaptations are really good.

Anyone else watching them?

I didn’t catch them on AMC+ when they originally aired. So it’s weird watching them through a library service, where I borrow each episode.

I caught them when they originally aired and thought they were quite good. I especially liked making Louis Black - I thought it added to the character and his story.

I very much enjoyed Vampire, but for whatever reason I was really bored by Witches. I finished the season out, but that's it for me.

Looking forward to season two of Vampire, bummed that they have recast Claudia. "Due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances..." sounds awfully cryptic.

Loved Vampire, thought witches was pretty poor. I thought that threw a chair on screen every time the lead actress appeared given how wooden she was.

 

[Commander Troi]

Loved seeing Harry Hamlin as a Southern Gentleman.

I never understood why Harry Hamlin left L.A. Law for.... nothing.

Happens all too often. Someone thinks their current popularity will follow them and get them more work, finds out the hard way that people liked them in that role specifically. He should have had a chat with McLean Stevenson before quitting.

It's difficult and I don't begrudge actors moving on if they're bored, let's be honest for most actors the appeal is to play a range of roles, so spending decades playing the same character, as some people in soaps do, must be kinda soul destroying if you think of yourself as an ac-tor, I think people just have to make such choices with their eyes open.

David Caruso left a TV dream job (that made him a household name) after only one season for a movie career that lasted two movies, but ended up on a subpar TV show that lasted 10 seasons and made him more money than he could've imagined, so I guess he won in the end?
