Excellent, transfixing new series adaptation of Anne Rice’s 1976 vampire classic. ... The show alters specifics of the novel’s story line in ways that wind up working spectacularly well, and that will surprise fans of the book, even while they may frustrate purists. I couldn’t get enough of the five episodes AMC made available for review (there are seven in all), relieved that Rice’s complex, sensual creatures have survived the transition to series TV intact, and delighted by the superb acting and rich production design.
It embraces both the intellectual and the carnal in ways that aren’t often seen on TV and were arguably even lacking from Jordan’s version.

Ótima adaptação. Anne Rice ficaria orgulhosa com a forma que decidiram trabalhar o material original.

SEASON 1
Fantastic so far! Great performances from Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid, and they have amazing chemistry together as well. Also loved the directing and production design.

SEASON 1
The introduction of child vampire Claudia (Bailey Bass, eerily convincing in the role that made Kirsten Dunst famous) slows things down a bit with overwrought metaphors about nontraditional parents. Yet the show never lapses into the preachy generalizations of Ryan Murphy’s genre spectacles. Indeed, it works so well because Louis and Lestat are distinct characters who quickly arrive at a heartbreaking impasse. ... After months of misplaced hype, Interview with the Vampire is finally the real thing.
Rice's soulful ghouls defy horror-movie cliche. [10 - 23 Oct 2022, p.5]
Not since Mads Mikkelsen’s Hannibal Lecter has a fictional character killed with such purpose and artistry. ... Jacob Anderson has the harder job: as Louis, the note he most often has to play is tortured anguish. ... Present-day Louis is less active but shows more emotional depth.
The evolution mostly works. Interview blends swoony Southern Gothic with cadaverous relationship farce, though it struggles when it shifts its gaze from the intriguing main characters.
The show’s first few episodes have energy and a sense of humor, which can be rococo. ... That momentum fades quickly, however. (Five of seven episodes were available for review.) In later episodes, sex and bloodsucking take a back seat to talk. ... The problem with the series, as it goes along, is that it increasingly makes you think about checking your email.
From plantation owner, Louis became a brothel pimp. His journey sure was an unsuccessful one, exactly like this adaptation of Anne Rice's great vampire horror books. Lesson (not) learned is : Do not mess with the original concept.
