After setting up a strong foundation in the first season, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches season 2 is sultry, sexy and scary as hell. While season 1 reveled in all its Southern Gothic glory, season 2 basks in its darkness as a true horror story. Reviewers were given the first seven episodes of the season to review and I can tell you without hesitation that season 2 is bewitchingly brilliant.
Season 2 picks up shortly after season 1. Mayfair designee Rowan (Alexandra Daddario) has given birth to Lasher but the child is no ordinary creature; the milk-guzzling demon is growing by leaps and bounds by the hour in his new human form. Rowan is concerned, but when she sees the youngster shedding his baby teeth with a bloody grin she knows that she’s in trouble. What’s keeping her from seeking help, however, is the fact that her powers are growing exponentially with her son (and former lover) nearby and she’s not exactly willing to part with them. But when an older Lasher (Jack Huston) starts getting into deeper trouble, Rowan is forced to act.
