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.

It’s a worthy entry.

The Hollywood Reporter

With plenty of plot potential but too few characters actually worth giving a damn about, Talamasca fails to conjure any lasting magic.

Hunter Ingram

AV Club

AMC’s choice to diverge from Rice’s bibliography to give the shadow lurkers and their bureaucratic bosses their own moment in the sun (so to speak) is a bold move -- and one that mostly pays off in this roguish, paranoia-laced thriller.

Rated: B+

Bloody Disgusting

Those who make it through the clunky introduction will likely be in for the long haul. Talamasca: The Secret Order is uniquely positioned to be a pivotal piece of the Immortal Universe’s puzzle with the right planning.

Rated: 3.5/5

Geek Vibes Nation

Anne Rice’s Talamasca: The Secret Order never reaches the lofty goals of its premise nor the transcendent delights of the series it’s spun out of.

Rated: 4.5/10

FandomWire

Fans of the Anne Rice books may find some sort of enjoyment out of Talamasca: The Secret Order, but outside of Nicholas Denton's performance, this is very hard for me to recommend to anyone.

Rated: 4/10
