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.

The result is a sluggish viewing experience that even the most diehard Anne Rice fans may find hard to follow.

Is Talamasca: The Secret Order a successful series? No, however, it does fill in some of the gaps of the Immortal Universe.

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.

Talamasca is my absolute favorite show on AMC+. I hope there is a second season. It had me hooked from the start to the end of season 1. All of the characters in my opinion are well written and acted.

I was intrigued almost immediately. It's messy and sometimes frustrating, but the characters are what made it work for me. I just wish we had gotten more than six episodes.

This series is actually pretty awesome. Disappointed they cancelled it.

This was a great anna rice series. I wish AMC would have renewed it for a second season.

It was great, do not watch it. It ends with a cliffhanger and never finishes the story, and then they cancelled it after one season, so it's pretty worthless as it never had a chance to go anywhere. I don't know why anyone would care about a shared universe made up of a bunch of disjointed unfinished pieces. This would have been great if they gave it another season or just told them it would only get one from the start.

Definitely for teen watchers. Convoluted story lines. Nothing new to add the genre.
