    While all of the billowing resentment and struggle between our vampires has to go somewhere, it comes out from Louis and Lestat in sometimes overly melodramatic bursts of screaming dialogue. ... “Interview with the Vampire” jumps on this whenever it can, revealing how the series can only break its growing monotony with either showy dramatic displays or (albeit staggering) moments of gory violence, like a turbo vampire-punch that impales someone’s face.

    There’s something lost in the mission to destroy the innuendo for the sake of fully overt representation. ... The decision to recast Louis with a Black actor proves the most fruitful break from the source material, the leads’ interracial dynamic layered on top of their intricate mix of lust and hostility.

    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.

    This garbage has nothing to do with the source material. Don't get attached to this show it won't last more than one season.

    From plantation owner, Louis became a brothel pimp. His journey sure was an unsuccessful one, exactly like this adaptation of Anne Rice'sFrom 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.… Full Review »

    The show is so awful, they destroyed the essence of what made the original novels great.
