“Interview with the Vampire” might be one of the best TV shows of the decade. .... The show understands how to build emotional stakes that make all this timeline jumping so gripping. Other small nuances stand out, like the way a couple can fight and then somehow also bicker within said fight, like a nesting doll of anger and frustration.
Interview with the Vampire has no interest in irony or restraint. Its humor lies in the overlap between comedy and horror, and its central performances hinge on total commitment. Rarely do we see such a clever, creative work of adaptation, mining classic vampire tropes for a deliciously energizing take on the genre.

The first season was out of this world, spectacular television, one of the best of 2022. That made me have very high expectations for the second season. And I'm so happy that this season premiere managed to exceed those expectations. WE ARE SO BACK!!!
Amazing from start to finish. Jacob Anderson continued to give a wonderful performance as Louis. Sam Reid, despite only appearing briefly and occasionally, continued to remind us that he is the perfect Lestat, he owns this role, he is Lestat. But the one thing that truly blew my mind was Delainey Hayles. It didn't feel like a recast. She immediately owned Claudia smoothly and powerfully. She stole every scene she was in. And then, Daniel Hart's score was absolutely stunning, accompanying all the scenes beautifully. He deserves to win awards, one of my favorite TV scores.
I'm so pumped for the rest of this season. This is really going to end up being one of the biggest TV shows of the decade.

SEASON 2
The alchemy of Season 1 was the intense chemistry Anderson and Reid shared. Zaman, Hayles, and Bogosian are all ferocious scene partners for Anderson, but none of them come close to capturing the lightning storm that is Louis and Lestat. That said, Interview With the Vampire remains the rarest of treats on television. It’s a soapy, gothic fairy tale full of sensuality, gore, and incredible performances.
Interview with the Vampire has always succeeded with its exploration of complicated dynamics, and Season 2 continues in the same vein. Zaman's Armand becoming a larger presence in the story causes a ripple effect on many different storylines, confirming that all the main characters have been more entwined over the years than any of us might have suspected. .... Interview with the Vampire is still one of the best TV shows out there.
The writer [Daniel Molloy] is also given more vulnerability and agency as the series goes on. Seizing the chance to expand Rice’s canvas, “Interview With the Vampire” keeps adding layers of paint. It’s the best kind of bloody mess.
While Armand may be a fascinating character, his Louis and the introduction of the Parisian vampire coven/theater troupe do end up feeling stale, especially in comparison to the walking soap opera that was Lestat. .... Bogosian and Zaman, in particular, have a tantalizing chemistry that acts as the unexpected lifeblood of this second season, especially in the absence of an ongoing Lestat/Louis romance. .... “Interview with the Vampire’s” continued dissection of Daniel Molloy and a cast of vibrant characters deliver another juicy chapter of AMC’s Romantic epic.
I found Hayles’ take on Claudia rather stiff this first episode, and it’s hard to discern how much of that is in the writing and how much of it is her making her way into this most volatile of characters. I’m curious to see how her Claudia evolves over the course of this season. .... This premiere felt much too dark and muddied.
Woke writing. It's as if a child wrote the story and character portrayals. Get woke: go broke.
