MayfairWitches, the latest AMC adaptation of Anne Rice's Immortal Universe, shows glimmers of promise beneath a slow-burn premise. Our review:

When AMC first acquired the late author Anne Rice's back catalog two years ago, it was clear the network had its sights set on resurrecting more stories of a paranormal variety for the small-screen market. The epic rights package consisted of 18 novels, which revolve around some of the most iconic characters ever rendered on the page.

The bulk of the series' supporting characters are consigned to New Orleans, which means it takes both Rowan and those of us watching time to truly meet each one of them — but the main plot of Mayfair Witches doesn't provide ample occasion to get to know them beyond the simple archetypes they fall into.
