Greatoneshere Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 The wife and I, both being big fans of the book series and the original film, both really liked this episode! It was very good, and the show has already been renewed for a season 2 I believe. Some die-hard book and film enthusiasts are complaining about the changes, the changes are fine and update the story properly. I think people forget that Anne Rice and her son were heavily involved as producers on this show before her passing last December, so I imagine she approved of these changes for the most part. I was very entertained - everyone should be watching this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so - hell yeah! Man, it would be great if they adapted all the books over time, properly. The second, third, and fourth books get real good and really crazy. I really appreciated that the episode took its time to establish the setting and seemed to respect all of its characters. That was refreshing, everyone has considerable depth without calling attention to it. Even Louis' mom did a heel turn completely in keeping with her character while making her meaner/more complex.

EternallDarkness Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 DVR'd it but this weekend has been hellacious...and rolled right through today as well. Hope to watch it in a day or two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Also as just a heads up, AMC (responsible for Interview with the Vampire) is also adapting Anne Rice's The Lives of Mayfair Witches, which crosses over with The Vampire Chronicles universe. We may get crossovers, which would be awesome. With AMC owning the rights to both and doing shows about both, it's an inevitability so long as both shows last. Anne Rice-verse incoming - about time.

Greatoneshere Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Episode two last night was even better than the premiere - really digging the time the show is taking whilst also giving us glimpses in to the present day life of a vampire. More people really need to be watching and supporting this show. I love the no bullshit dialogue responses by Eric Bogosian (the podcaster) regarding vampire stuff.

Greatoneshere Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Third episode aired last night and the show just gets better and better. Everyone on the show is really good, but the actor playing Lestat is just killing it. Darkly comic but always sincere and gothic, I'm really enjoying this show.

Greatoneshere Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Now that Claudia is in the picture, it does look like they'll adapt a book a season, or close to it. A lot of fun vampire kills in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Alright - I DEFINITELY saw that ending "twist" coming quite a few episodes ago Overall, I REALLY enjoyed the first season of this series a helluva lot more than I honestly expected to, especially the portrayals of Lestat and Claudia! Bravo to their respective performers! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I missed the first episode of 2 before I started watching and it’s pretty gay and awesome. It’s like saying it’s the more mature version of True Blood in blood, sex, and violence front. I think all 4 main cast members should receive some award nods come there (but will be hard to beat Andor) I too saw the twist I think 3 episodes before the end, but it was still satisfying. Bring on season 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Just to clarify, the (totally-not-telegraphed-at-all) twist I'm referring to is that: Spoiler Rashid is Armand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also was beginning to suspect around episode 5. It seems the show is trying to shift everything to 2022, which makes sense. I really liked this development. The wife and I finally caught up on the final three episodes and damn. Episode 5 fight scene is something to behold - everyone needs to be watching this show! Really happy a season 2 is already confirmed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
