I have just started watching the show The Mayfair Witches and I have to say I didn't understand any of it.  I read the Anne Rice books 30 years ago and reread them several times over the years.  I loved the books.  I loved the history of the witches, the characters, and Michael Curry, Aaron Lightfoot, Julien, and Lasher. While I watched the show I did not understand what was going on in the first episode, who was this Rowan?   I remember Rowan as a very strong, intelligent, woman who was in control of her life and she was a blonde.  As I continued to watch I felt fairly disappointed, what happened?  This show is nothing like the books.  Some of the best characters, Michael Curry are not even in the show. The history of the Mayfair witches is not explained, and the family that is still alive is not at all like the books. It is really too bad I think this could have been a great show. Very disappointing. The good thing that came out of watching the first couple of episodes is now I am going to reread the books.

I love this show. You can tell Brett knows what he is doing, he brings in very talented "master craft people" and does a very thoughtful fabulous job. The homes I have seen renovated by Brett on the show are beautiful and given new life.

This is such a heartwarming story, what we all need now. I am really enjoying this remake.

Loved it, gives meaning to decluttering our lives and why we should take a look at what makes us happy.
