The show follows Guy Anatole, fresh out of law school and positioned for a bright future at a white-shoe firm in New York. He is approached and recruited by a mysterious woman who is a senior member of the Talamasca, a secretive organization devoted to surveilling the supernatural. As Guy is drawn further into this unknown world, he realizes he's been enlisted for a singular and perilous purpose: to go undercover into the Talamasca's London Motherhouse and unmask an agent who may be working with dangerous forces to bring down the entire organization from within, threatening the safety of the entire mortal world.

Critics Consensus

Talamasca: The Secret Order indulges in the world of Anne Rice's Immortal Universe, though lacking compared to other supernatural procedurals, its endless potential far outweighs its completionist fare.

Talamasca is well paced across its six episodes and features a couple of genuine twists—narrative accomplishments that are few and far between in Rice’s novels.

The six-episode season is a disjointed and muddled attempt to turn Rice’s centuries-old secret society into a vehicle for a half-hearted spy thriller.

Where Interview With the Vampire is ambitious, Talamasca is brand management, and as the season progresses, you can sense how desperately it’s trying to prove its own worth and failing.

While the execution leaves something to be desired, and it’s certainly not without its flaws, Talamasca: The Secret Order could grow into its potential.

There’s a ton of back-and-forth over who are the true heroes and it gets tedious fast.

The revelations and twists in Talamasca will likely leave the ardent Rice fan wanting more. And screaming for more Jasper. Vampires really do have more fun in the world of Anne Rice.

I really hope they do another season! It's one of the best shows I've watched in a long time.

This series has potential, but it didn’t quite deliver, so maybe it will not be renewed. The casting is fine and the acting also, but are a lot of production choices that are not good. For instance the feared Amsterdam chapter seems to operate from a 70’s storeroom, employees discuss top secret stuff in a pub, the whole international operation with ‘unlimited funds’ consists of a handful of people that all know each other. The main character has a vital skill, that he infuriatingly seems to forget about when it would be useful in his quest and then suddenly remembers when the plot needs him to get out of trouble. The reveal is nice, but raises serious questions to the strategic thinking capacity of the head of the age-old organisation. When you think it through, it is downright dumb.

Well, I thought it would be an interesting season, but I’m annoyed that in US movies Polish women are always portrayed as either cleaners or prostitutes. Who even had the idea to put that in the script? "Polish to the left, Chinese to the right." It just shows what level of bullying this is. So stop that because we watch your movies as well.

This had so much potential, but the story never evolves, more holes than a fisherman's net.
