I liked the Mayfair Witch books, but over time they became sort of silly, especially when she introduced the Taltos.

The tv series Mayfair Witches follows the basic premise of the books, but the show writers have definitely taken some liberties.

And they’ve failed to make good use of the city of New Orleans. I live in New Orleans and there are so many fantastic shooting locations and this is a very film friendly city. Most of the New Orleans scenes in the show could have been filmed anywhere. What a missed opportunity.

After the first season, I’m not terribly impressed with the Mayfair Witches. I’m not sure if I will bother with the next season.
