It's hard to even give this series 1 star. I have been an avid Anne Rice fan for many years and The Mayfair Chronicles have been one of my favorites of all time. I was skeptical when this series came out but also a little hopeful. I must say disappointed is an UNDERSTATEMENT! I know that stories translated on screen can often go off the story line but wow, this one has gone so far off!! It was very hard to watch as an Rice fan as they have BUTCHERED this awesome story. If you are also a fan, I do not recommend.
