Interview with the Vampire: ...The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with All a Child's Demanding (2022)
If being a teenager was hard, can't imagine being a teen for the rest of your vampiric life
Another sunday, another GREAT episode. Bailey is amazing as Claudia and embodies the chaos and insanity perfectly. I loved that this rendition made Claudia a teenager because that age is TERRIBLE, for the person who is a teen and for everyone else. This episode IS the definition of the calm before the storm and I loved seeing happy domestic scenes from her point of view and how she comes to terms with her new family but also the storm forming from her chaotic self as a hungry vampire. Again, aging her to 14 was a really good move because her feeling of never being capable of actually become a grown woman is more believeable and painful than younger renditions of Claudia.
Seeing Louis growing love for his undead family and him losing that closeness to his human family seen from Claudia's perspective is just amazing.
Interview with the Vampire: Is My Very Nature That of a Devil (2022)
Going strong!
Once again, amazing episode. I am in owe how the people behind this series managed to change the setting and execute it very well. Louis' struggle with not only mortality and family but with also sexuality and race are making this series even more enjoyable. Jacob Anderson is perfect for the role and also manages to make people really FEEL for Louis. The explicit depiction of the unreliable narrator made it EVEN better. Once again the humour is perfect and the serious parts too. Sam Reid's Lestat is just so charming and extravagant that he has me smilling everytime he is on the screen. Having Daniel confront Louis about his retelling is just amazing and I'm loving everything about this series. Can't wait for the next episode.
Interview with the Vampire: ... After the Phantoms of Your Former Self (2022)
Just amazing
Great episode once more. I came knowing nothing about the Vampire Chronicles to buy the first book, watch the movie and putting my full attention into this series. Once again Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid kill it (literally lol) and I love how well the humor is played in this episode.
I am someone who enjoys comedy a lot so the humor in this series is PERFECT for the nature of the tale being told. Not too much but enough to feel closer to two vampires preying over the people of New Orleans.
The whole opera and tenor scenes consolidated my love for Lestat de Lioncourt so much. He is such an interesting character. So passionate. Sam Reid is just amazing as him.
Interview with the Vampire: In Throes of Increasing Wonder... (2022)
Captivating
I never interacted with any Vampire Chronicles content before this series but I should've. I couldn't stop thinking about this episode after finishing it. Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid are amazing and their chemistry is off the roof, making this story very enjoyable. Jacob is going for that Emmy next year for the confession scene alone. Also I love how well done is the storytelling with the time set they chose for this rendition (early 1900's). I love vampire media and this series is everything I needed.
After this episode I bought the first book and after the second I finally watched the movie, which i enjoyed a lot but I think I like this series better, for the added challenge to Louis being a man of color. Also series format works way better to flesh out characters and their relationships.
Highly recommended.
