Mayfair Witches (2023-)

A young neurosurgeon with extrasensory powers learns that she is part of a known family of witches, but the news brings unexpected responsibilities.

'Mayfair Witches' is a series adapted from Anne Rice's successful books. It follows the action and portrayals in the book quite close to the source and adds a bit of modern flair and the technological advantage of recent years which has been a huge benefit for the horror genre.

Director:  Haifaa Al-Mansour and others   

Production:  AMC   

Duration:  1 season of 8 episodes (1 hour each)   

With: Alexandra Daddario, Tongayi Chirisa, Jack Huston, Harry Hamlin, Annabeth Gish, Beth Grant

Mayfair Witches (2023-)

O tanara neurochirurg cu puteri extrasenzoriale, afla ca face parte dintr-o familie cunoscuta de vrajitoare, dar stirea aduce responsabilitati neasteptate.

'Mayfair Witches' este un serial adaptat dupa cartile de succes ale lui Anne Rice. Urmeaza actiunea si portretizarile din carte destul de aproape de sursa si adauga un pic de fler modern si avantajul tehnologic al ultimilor ani ce a fost un beneficiu enorm pentru genul horror. Alexandra Daddario este o alegere potrivita, desi uneori cade in capcana de overacting, scenele in latina fiind un exemplu, dar in mare, adaptarea este un succes si contine tentatie de ajuns pentru un sezon urmator.

Regia:  Haifaa Al-Mansour si altii
