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.

Built on a foundation that embraces different eras, “Interview with the Vampire” doesn’t feel constrained to a particular time or place. Read full review

Among my favorite TV shows of the year so far. ... AMC’s Interview With the Vampire is lush and operatic. It is gross and disturbing, opening the dam for the sanguine river of blood to flow the way that a show like this should: so that it is as gorgeous as it is upsetting. There are provocative ideas about race and power dynamics filtered through the identity politics of bloodsuckers that, remarkably, work. Read full review

Significantly improving upon the 1994 film, “Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire” does more than just add the late author’s name to the title, ambitiously updating the story, introducing a racial component and serving up plenty of sex and gore. Desperate to replace “The Walking Dead,” AMC might have completed an improbable baton pass from zombies to another kind of undead. Read full review

Rice's soulful ghouls defy horror-movie cliche. [10 - 23 Oct 2022, p.5]

There’s a confidence to this “Interview With the Vampire” that makes it worth the while even when it’s straining itself to hit all the biggest Gothic notes. Read full review

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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Trilha sonora perfeita e a interpretação dos atores impecável, estão entregando simplesmente tudo, além de todo o cuidado da produção em cada mínimo detalhe da série. O roteiro traz algo novo, diferente do livro mas ainda conseguimos ver de onde vem a base de tudo, é como uma releitura, a mesma história contada de uma forma diferente e atualizada.… Expand

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.

It adapts the setting to the early twentieth century, and the characters shine because of these changes. It allows for an excellent examination of the relationship shared between Louis and Lestat, which is, for the first time in adaptation, presented as entirely homosexual.

Anne would have loved the way these changes allowed her characters to shine through what was to her a traumatic time and present an inspiring story of the challenges of nihilism and those who may take advantage of the feelings of significant loss.

The cast is magnificent. The set design and crew have clearly poured their heart into making this series a dream for the senses, which is entirely fitting for Rice's highly sensual vampires.… Expand

Seemingly dramatic and rushed this sometimes funny love story toes the line between love and subservience. And seeks to answer, what happens when a black man becomes powerful but is forced to imitate the state he'd been designated preceding this power. It's medium of an interracial homosexual relationship creates the perfect opportunity to explore what the power dynamics would entail especially in such an era. The story should shorten its pace and flesh out its relationship and then might be in line of being a fantastic debut.… Expand

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.
