I actually just read "The witching hour." Again. Then excitedly began this show. From moment one, episode one... I was not happy. They took Michael Curry out completely and traded him in for Cip? There is an in depth back story here on all these witches that they just casted away. I always get really happy when they do something of Anne Rice's but this is not her work. It's horrible for people that love her. Sad, sad, thing. Hope someone else eventually picks this up and does it right.
