Reviews for the finale were generally mixed to negative, reflecting the critical reception of the season as a whole:

: Fans of Anne Rice’s The Witching Hour noted significant departures from the source material. While some enjoyed the streamlined narrative, others felt the TV version lacked the atmospheric depth and complex history of the Talamasca and the Mayfair lineage found in the books.

The season one finale of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches , titled "What Rough Beast," focuses on the fulfillment of the 13th Witch prophecy and the birth of Lasher into a physical form.

: Usually ranges between 800MB and 1.2GB, making it a balanced option for storage and quality. The Verdict

The finale succeeds in setting a high-stakes foundation for Season 2 by physically manifesting Lasher, but it struggles with the same narrative clutter that plagued the earlier episodes. It is a visually striking but narratively uneven conclusion to the first chapter of the "Immortal Universe."
