I don't mean stuff that was obviously bad on sight (to you) and so you didn't bother with, or even necessarily content you just checked out of before the first episode was done. But a series that you ultimately felt wasted your time and abandoned due to its total lack of quality.

It’s a shame that the meddling they did to Mayfair witches ruined the story. I’d been waiting a long time for a show written around the first book of the series.

The creative changes they made to Vampire Chronicles elevated the story, but here they got rid of two of the main and most interesting characters and storylines (love interest Michael Curry, and Talamascan Aaron Leightner) and then tried to replace them with some new character they had come up with. Just a really bizarre and sad choice.

At least they gave the new character a different name. That opens the door to just writing him off and bringing in the characters from the book. But I haven’t seen or read any indications that the producers/writers plan to course correct this show.

I do hope we will get some more Anne Rice shows. Talamasca has been entertaining, and her Mummy book would make a fun single season series.
