Synopsis
In the year 2022, the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac lives in Dubai and seeks to tell the story of his life or afterlife to renowned journalist Daniel Molloy. Beginning in early 20th-century New Orleans, Louis' story follows his relationship with the vampire Lestat du Lioncourt and their formed family, including teen fledgling Claudia. Together, the vampire family endures immortality in New Orleans and beyond. As the interview continues in Dubai, Molloy discovers the truths beneath Louis' story.

It's always fun to see people realize Interview with the Vampire contains an interview with a vampire
Haha I know right. It’s such an interesting concept
It's literally the bookish memes about the moment when the book's title makes sense / when you realize why the book was titled what the book is titled. Lol 😊💖💖 😂 😁😁
That's always the best 😂😂. But I understand that they are surprised. In the film, it wasn't much of an interview...More like a monologue.
"Toxic abusive energy shelled in eloquent lovebombing." BARS!
So observant when I was just being seduced in ep 1. and try to ignore the creepy clues we see and how isolated Louis was
🙏🏾💜🧡
Jacob Anderson should have gotten an Emmy for this.
Facts
i’d pretty much finished watching everyone on youtubes reactions and then suddenly this week there’s a new wave of people starting the show 😭 i’m so deeply obsessed with this show i gotta watch everyone else watch it. it makes me so happy that there’s a bunch of new people discovering it, it’s so underrated and it’s insane because it’s such an incredible show. it truly deserves all the attention and awards.
That is the part that got me scratching my head. Why is this not the most popular show on TV. It's easily the best. Easily. I'm glad someone recommended this to me and I actually gave it a shot. So happy to share it with you all
That’s what I’m doing, too. Finding a whole new appreciation for this show through new people on RUclips.
Next season is gonna be INSANE! I’m happy to wait for it, though. They gotta get that one right because it introduces so many other people & sets up one of my favorite stories.
When I heard it was going to Netflix I could have cried because it automatically means more reactions 🎉🤌🏾🥳
Same here. I'm with you! ❤❤
@@eliseivanica same!
25 years ago I was a middle school black kid that loved the Vampire Chronicles (Interview with the Vampire is book 1 of a 13 book series). I'm estastic watching over the course of this series beginning to see black fans explode to this fandom, it helps that Rolin Jones is SO into making this such a diverse telling of Anne's series all the changes of many of the characters races have purpose and nuance and its just perfection, what a time to be alive for me.
Perfectly said. I know that little black girl's heart is full seeing this adaptation and all these other aspects being explored and respected. Much love
“I laid down with the devil. And he has ROOTS in me! All his SPINDLY ROOTS - IN ME!”
This was the best pilot episode of any series I’ve ever watched. I love this show so bad I need everyone to watch it. Jacob and Sam (Lestat) deserve their flowers for this acting masterclass.
@@lunneytoonez20 this is my favorite monologue in season 1 I will recite it at the drop of a hat
They should have thrown the awards at him right then and there! 😫
Facts! I’ve watched that confession scene multiple times and it gets better every time🔥
THIS. i loved the show from the get-go but this part of jacob anderson's performance is what completely SOLD me
@@haileydixon7239 literally I can do this scene down to his hand movements. This show is 90% my personality at this point
Louis talked with Lily cause he's not interested in sex with women. He's mostly with her to keep up appearances. She's a friend.
True. I realized that later 😁
Baby, you ain’t seen nothing yet. I love vampire media and I’m not exaggerating when I say, I’ve waited my entire life for this show.
I'm strapped in🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥🔥
I agree! I love all kinds of vampire anything, and this is by far the BEST type of vampires, BEST story, best characters. This hits so hard
I loved this reaction, and I love how quickly you spoke to the toxicity of the dynamic in this first episode. When I watched, it’s something I only realized fully in retrospect. Like how much Lestat trampled on Louis’s boundaries to get him to make this permanent isolating decision is WILD.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you watched it. lestat it was so good at what he does that he made Louie feel like he had no choice. damn. WILD is correct! Can't wait to see what happens
I watched the first time today and at the end I was like, I don’t think I’m supposed to be rooting for Lestat!!!
I really appreciated that too, especially as somebody who caught it from the first time I watched it & hadn't seen other commentators mention it. Summed it up so perfectly, too-- I've never been able to put it into words what exactly he does in that scene, just gushed to my friends that its the only time as an audience member a work actually shows how it makes you FEEL. like, usually if a toxic or abusive dynamic is shown, the audience has a 3rd person pov where they get frustrated & unfortunately even victim blamey about why does character stick with their abuser. with this (at least w everyone i've talked to about it) we ARE seduced as Louis was seduced, we're mesmerized by Lestat, we WANT him to not be a villain, we understand the urge to want to bargain that maybe the red flags aren't red flags because the good parts are so fulfilling & u don't want to face having to give it up or that its flawed in some way. really good commentary, looking forward to more!
*shows how it feels being in an abusive dynamic; im on mobile so i can't edit to clarify 😅
Speaking of Louis being immobilised during his first meeting with Lestat - I always took it as him getting so turned on that he forgot how to breathe! A little bit of a vampire telepathy helped, but I took it as mostly lust 😂
I really enjoy your reaction, keep them coming!
Jesus Christ That is such a saucy interpretation of that scene🤣😭🔥 and I’m here for it.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. More coming soon
@@ingliszkau Same. I've always interpreted it as Louis being immobilized by his lust instead of it actually being a power that Lestat is using in that moment. But I can totally understand why someone might think that Lestat is using a vampiric power... Especially, if they don't understand the vampire lore within Anne Rice's vampires yet.
Yeah, yeah can see a shift in Lestat's (and other vampire's) eyes when they're using their powers and he wasn't actively manipulating him in any noticable way - he was just super entranced and pissed off about it lol.
you are in for a ride!
I saw you watched this so I had to check it out too. Appreciate you fam
@Chuuzus have you seen season 2? 😅
CHUU!!! I see you everywhere now! I love it ❤️
We need season 2, good sir!
and when are YOU going to react to Season 2????
Chuu, where is season 2?!
The acting has no business being this good. Buckle up
i'm saying!!!! This s*** is so good
One thing this show kept was Anne's beautiful writing. In the 90s, My friend and I were so obsessed by her novels we drove down to New Orleans from Canada.
I'm sure that was a beautiful bonding memory for you and your friend. That's awesome. I love when creators stay true to the essence of the original material
I'm from Berkeley, CA. I flew to Atlanta (in 1998) to visit a friend. From there we drove through the south to New Orleans. While there, we walked around the neighborhood that Anne Rice set her witch novels in. I was intoxicated.
My favorite part of the series’ writing is how it explores traumatized morally grey characters. Lestat is absolutely emotionally abusive (Louis has his own crimes too that he needs to face). Each character is victimized but can also be the perpetrator depending on the situation, their mental state, and the other character in the dynamic. The show doesn’t attempt to excuse this even as the narrative explains how mental illness, ego, projection and unwillingness to change form their behaviors. The psychological profile of all these lovely, horrible immortals perfectly matches the terrible traumas they survived.
Jacob Anderson gave a great quote about the character of Louis in the show: “My character is a Black creole man and he’s queer and he’s kind of awful, but those things aren’t all tied in together. For me, that’s the dream of representation: that our behaviour isn’t entirely tied in with our identity.” He also previously said “Let us be problematic. Give us the space to be a problem.” 🙌
@@HannahG-nk2mf you have put this together so perfectly my god !
You did a great job spotting Lestat’s abusive and predatory treatment of Louis. The show really demonstrates how alluring that kind of attention can be at first…
At first! That is the unfortunate part. I appreciate that. I hope you're enjoying the reaction
@@FrankFreezy_ loved it, subscribed and sat for more!
Frank: "This is how you should shoot a *ing pilot!"
Me: Couldn't agree more. 👏🧛♂
yeeeessurrrr
This show has taken over my life! Glad to see more and more people start watching it. It has been renewed for a third season, but I already want more!
haha that makes two of us. I'm so happy I still have lots of episodes of it to catch up on
This is my first video of yours I watched and I love that you comment so much. It's so much better to hear people's thoughts than them just sitting in silence. Can't wait for the rest of the episodes!
I appreciate that so much. You are the kind of viewer I enjoy sharing my videos with. I feel like it should be a conversation and engaging not just staring at a screen
I’m loving that more people seem to finally be tuning in to the masterpiece that is Interview with the Vampire! Haven’t watched the reaction yet, but I already wanna hop on over to Patreon because I can’t get enough of reactions to this show lol
hahaaa please feel free to. I know the feeling. I'm glad I founded this show
They killed it with this show! It just keeps getting better and better. I’m very impressed.
Same here
Sam Reid (Lestat) said more than once in the interviews that Lestat had nothing to do with Paul's death. And Louis said that he wanted to die on the night of Pault funeral, so Lestat turning him was the only way he thought off to save him
I disagree with this in that it wasn't the only way to "save" him. He had Lily, and Lestat took her away. He turned to the church for help, and Lestat took it away. He had his sister, and by turning him, Lestat took that away. Lestat did this because he loved him & wanted Louis and isolated him & sold him a fairytale to get him. I love Lestat to hell & back and I love Louis the same but as Jacob said "they're toxic". Let them be toxic without jumping through hoops to justify the awful things they do.
@@charlierayed Thank you! I was just going to say, "He could have done less to help push Louis into that suicidal point to begin with". Even if Lestat didn't take Paul specifically away from Louis, he systematically took a whole lot more/else. And he did it on purpose, because he wanted Louis to himself, he wanted Louis to choose to join him in eternity. Lestat thinks he knows what the best solution to Louis' problems are, and he doesn't sympathize/empathize nearly enough with the fact that Louis may have a very different 'what is best' for Louis than whatever Lestat personally thinks is best. Not having been responsible for Paul's death doesn't really change that. (And this is something which has been hotly debated since the first book was published. Anne Rice says Lestat had nothing to do with Paul and she never intended it to read like Lestat did, but the simple fact of that matter is that intentional or otherwise there are reasons why it definitely reads as if it was a believable possibility. It's the age old debate of whether or not Authorial Intent is THE Law, even after a thing is published publicly and essentially released into the wild, or not/ or if somewhat even unintended audience interpretations can still be perfectly valid lenses to examine fiction through. )
OMG! I can not wait to watch you go through all the emotions this show will throw you in all the way to S2 E8!! 😁 Such an amazing story. Well told, well shot, and well acted!
Oh I am so ready. I can’t stop watching it. I wish it wasn’t so short. I wish it wasn’t so short.
@@FrankFreezy_ to tide yourself over I recommend reading the books. That’s what I did between seasons one and two because saying I was obsessed is an egregious oversimplification. I honestly enjoy the show a bit better because I can connect to it more on a personal level, but the books are really good to get lost in.
Anne Rice, the Author of the Vampire Chronicles was a genius. She could tap into our souls when telling her stories. And finally, after all these years they did her right. Before she died, she gave AMC the outline of what she wanted. How she wanted her story modernized. And this show is mesmerizing. Thanks for your reaction.
That's so interesting! I didn't know she did that! do you know if this reimagining of Louis and his backstory was from her?
@@jesstellstales2113 She supposedly had an outline for the whole series. But also, was consulted on the first few scripts. It's hard to pinpoint. She was sick and died not long after that. But her official website stated that she was working closely with AMC.
I think her son was also part of the project and is still involved now..
@@moppet1214 Yes. However, a lot of book purists who hate the series claim Chris Rice also hates it and their evidence of that is how he never tweeted about the show. Not sure if that means anything.
@@moppet1214 Yes. Both Anne and her son are still listed as Executive Producers. But that could be more legal than artistic. But again, from Anne's own Web Page. She was very hands on until the very end.
I think it's a bit of both when it comes to the gaze scene. Louis was attracted to him but the vampires do also have the power to entrance with their eyes, even by accident - in the book Lestat wears sunglasses a lot to prevent it happening. This show is amazing. Hope you enjoy it! The sets, the writing, the acting, the story. It's pure gold.
I have never watched your channel before, but I really enjoyed this reaction. I love that you talk through the whole video, rather than just watching.
I, too, was captivated by the pilot when I watched it back in October '22. Been a huge fan ever since.
Welcome welcome. I'm glad you found my channel and that you enjoyed the reaction.YESSS! I do this for genuine conversations, bonding, and learning from the fan base. So sitting there and looking at the screen like a robot literally makes no sense to me. I'm glad this pilot won you over is it did me. It's brilliant
I love the show because it plays with our sense of morality and forces us to let go of the human aspects, it's basically a love story about bloodthirsty predators, toxicity is their love language lol
Couldn't have said it better myself. It's some good s***
Oh you’ve opened the door to one of the greatest series of our time!! Always love your commentary & discussions. You’re going to love this show so much! 😊
I've been hearing that kind of talk before I started it. And you all were not lying. I'm so ready. Appreciate you boss
So glad that you decided to react to this. SLAMMING that Like.
Much love💜💜
The woman who plays Louis mother her name is rae dawn chong she was really big during the 80,s and 90,s
Wow thanks for sharing that. I just looked her up. She is in a lot of classics
Honestly Human Louis wasnt concerned enough for me😭like he was floating and got bit!!! Like did he think that was part of the gay experience!?!?
Lmao I would’ve been out of there so fast😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
The rollercoaster I hope this show takes your emotions on😌 fantastically written and acted🙏🏽❤️
I’m gonna embrace it and go on that roller coaster. It’s so thrilling.
@@FrankFreezy_ absolutely, the show, cast and crew are very close to my heart. I’m glad to see others enjoying it❤️🙏🏽😌
@@walksonair🧡🧡🧡🧡
Please finish this show & get to season 2. It’s one of the best shows on television right now. As an Anne Rice fan, I’m hooked. They did the original story justice with this show, fleshing out things that would’ve been too taboo to write.
Freaking love that the fan base is so welcome in. I adore this show so far. I will definitely finish it quick and watch part 2. Appreciate you
Ooh, and a quick suggestion that might help you enjoy the series more: stratifying any of the characters as good / evil, better / worse, victims / villains leaves many viewers frustrated as things unfold. Most of the characters fit all of those categories at one point or another. Anne Rice really liked to write in shades of grey!
They way I LEAPT from my seat when I saw this. I AM SO EXCITED
Hehe that’s what I’m talking about🤣🔥💜
I just found your channel and subscribed immediately. IWTV is one of the best shows ever made, and it's always a pleasure finding someone who appreciates it. The pilot episode was mind-blowing, and the rest of the show (including season 2) is just as incredible.
Thank you so much. I love that energy. Yes yes yes I’ve been hearing about how great it is and experiencing this pilot episode. Wow. One of the best pilots I’ve ever watched. Can’t wait to blaze through this show.
Glad to see that more people are appreciating this excellent show (yet somehow underated) well written, with outstanding acting. Enjoy the ride because it's gonna get better and better ❤️
I'm happy to have started and be part of you all. It's so mesmerizing. Can't wait to share the rest
You are in for an emotional-roller-coaster of an series! Interview with the Vampire is truly one of my top favorite shows and I'm so ready for the 3rd season! And hopefully seeing the rest of the Vampire Chronicles adapted in future seasons.
I am absolutely strapped in and ready for the ride🕺🏾🚀🚀
@@FrankFreezy_ Yes! I'm so glad more people are reacting and checking out this show because its deserves all the attention and more popularity on it as its rightly deserves because this show is top-notch! Can't for you to get to season 2 soon!
Never thought you would do this show, I just got so excited at this notif T-T Its just amazing in ever way, Im always happy to see more people reacting to it!!
The funny part is, I didn’t even know about this show until very very recently. I’m talking about probably a couple weeks ago. It has definitely stolen my heart for sure.
@@FrankFreezy_and me,not Heart? 🥳🥳 Alala the youtubers,not life not brain again again again and Always for ever.Never respect 😴,these génération is so ....
I really love your commentary, for the whole video I was thinking how spot on your questions were. I'm glad more people are starting to notice this show because it deserves all the attention.
Much love thanks. It’s so thought provoking and I love that y’all are enjoying watching it.
Im so glad to see this show on your channel. It quickly became one of my favourite tv series. I think you're gonna really enjoy all the complex characters. The way iwav deals with humanity is so interesting when it's through monsters that slowly lose their human nature. I hope you stick with it because season 2 knocks it out of the park.
I will 1000% stick with it. I love how you described this show dealing with Humanity through monsters. And definitely gives you a lot of room for introspection and thought provoking conversations. So many more to come. Love
I'm so obsessed with this shoooow and now with this maaaaan watching it AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
lol I love that energy. Episode 2 is out in 2 minutes
I always find it funny that Louis takes Lestat’s “tricks” in such stride. Like, if a stranger started speaking to me telepathically & stopped time/froze people, I would for sure be asking questions 😅
Idk if we ever said, but this series is almost like a sequel to the interview parts of the prior movie that took place in the 90’s. They’re operating on the premise that Molloy has interviewed Louis before (movie) & it ended badly, and basically wiping the slate clean by saying that Louis didn’t tell him the full/true story.
It's an adaptation of the Books. It's not a sequel. The show is superior in every way in my opinion. The movie would actually spoil some things for the show. They just came up with a creative way to retell the story.. update it. You are right about perspective being KEY to the story though. I hope you enjoyed season 2!
@@hypocritex Ah, I didn’t know they had a second meeting in the books. That’s the only part that I meant seems to come after.
Yes, the show is definitely superior!
@@mitchellhp Nah they didn't in the books. Like I said it's an ADAPTATION of the books. They added that to modernize the story a bit. (so it's easier going forward for the timeline with the books that follow Interview. You'll get a taste in season 3) It's not a 1 for 1 retelling although it is truer to the spirit of the books then the Movie. It's just not a sequel to the movie as the movie was a similar story as to seasons 1 and 2 just very condensed.. Thusly.. watching it would provide HUGE show spoilers. Which is why I was quick to point out its not a sequel. So he doesn't go watch it and spoil some key moments to the show.
Louis did ask , severaltimes, remember he said to Malloy " Lestat said not today Louis, maybe later Louis " 😮
but if you were having a gay freak out and it was a pretty guy doing it maybe you'd be down with it lmao
I think it's fine when reactors talk a lot during reactions, as long as they pause the playback while they are doing it.
This is an excellent supernatural drama; one of the best I've ever seen. The last half of season two is the greatest section of the show so far, which is saying something, considering how brilliant the rest of it was, so stick with it throughout.
I agree. also, Hearing that this show only gets better as it progresses makes me a very very happy man🕺🏾🕺🏾
I'm excited to hear your perspective and commentary on this brilliant show moving forward! Louis is such a strong but underrated main character, I love that you already recognize Jacob's talents. The whole cast is amazing!
lets fu#kin goooooo🤘🏾 I look forward to sharing on my thoughts. That acting still blows my mind
You describing their relationship as toxic or abusive is literally how every version of Lestat is described (no spoilers). He's referred to as the "brat prince" and he's just generally an asshole but like Louis, we both love and hate his guts which is ALSO why we love him. Watching this series basically makes you feel like you're in a relationship with Lestat lol
I agree. We hate to love him. I also love that his writing is not lazy at all. So nuanced. Imagining being in a relationship with lestat is literally frying my brain😭😭
Sam reid the actor who plays lestat is actually Australian Jacob Anderson is British both are really great in the show season 1 and 2 are set during the first book season 3 will focus on book 2 the vampire lestat
Wow that's so interesting. Australia. It always amazes me how these actors can effortlessly change their accents
Oh! In the book, Daniel Molloy is not named, only referred to as "the boy". So it's pretty cathartic to hear him snap "I'm not your boy!" in the first few minutes.
so glad you're reacting to this, it's such a fire show!
I’m happy to be sharing it with y’all. It’s literally my favorite thing to watch right now🔥
I first read Interview with the Vampire when I was 12, and I've reread it, along with Anne Rice's other vampire chronicles, time and time again over the last 2 decades. This show was BETTER than I expected. Sam Reid captured Lestat in a way I couldn't have imagined. It was amazing, I loved it so much!!
I love how you picked up on the toxicity and abusive parts of the relationship. Nice video ❤
🙏🏾🧡
You have GOT to read the book too. The original Book series are based in New Orleans. The Mayfair reference is another book series by Anne Rice The Mayfair witches.
27:19 got me crackling cause I get to see the joy I felt before it was taken away. 😂😂😂
This show only gets better from here on out! I hope you continue watching! The way Louis’ race plays into his character is brilliant and the framing of having it be told through an interview brings in so many different angles. Also, don’t be fooled, Louis can be just as crazy as Lestat and Lestat is already bonkers!
It’s one of the best written and acted shows in the last decade and it’s a crime that it’s been so niche.
I love how much you talk and discuss, don't ever change! I'm here for your thoughts, they're very interesting and insightful.
Soooo happy you chose to watch it. This show isn't getting the level of attention it deserves given the quality of it.
God, can't wait for the rest of the episodes on here. I hope you can put them up 🥺🙏❤️
this was a great reaction! I think you're going to love the rest of the show!
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I think so tooo😊
Yes!!! ❤ Another person seduced by the tale. Welcome.
Seduced is such a good word for it haha. I know it may sound cheesy but this show has taken over my brain the same way lestat took over Louis brain.
@@FrankFreezy_ Ooo, this is not cheesy in the least. I've been an obsessed fan of the books since '97 & this show has just made it worse. Lol! I'm glad you're up in the clouds with us now. There's plenty of us in Delulu land with ya. Enjoy the sky ride because it just gets crazier & crazier from here.
@booksgurrsandpurrs haha happy to be up in delulu land with yall 🤣✨
I simply adore when react channels do a lot of commentary, thats exactly what im here for and you delivered, good job!!
I appreciate that!
The theme of season one " Memory is a Monster " from a poem by John Irvin
" Memory files things away, hides them from you and pulls them to your recall..........we think we have a memory but it has us".
Great reaction. Enjoy 😊
It's funny when people think he's turning Louis with the small drink....he's not. 😂😅 Lestat doesn't turn him until the church scene. 😮 Louis wants to die after his confession, Lestat saved his life by giving Louis a choice. Remember these are monsters all the terms like gaslighting ( which is totally missused by most people, it's a psychological term that means someone starts out to pathologically , with malice, make one doubt reality ") There are so many other words that apply, but not that one. Everyone in the books are both good and bad.
This. Yes. Too many people try to compare this whole thing to gaslighting and abusive relationships etc. but it's really not and I think it takes away from the show and the story to say it is. Lestat isn't trying to be horrible to Louis. He genuinely loves Louis and knew he was on the verge of either a breakdown or killing himself. He did what he needed to save him as he would've been heartbroken if he died.
@@IndieRockerHippy Agreed, and sometimes I step away from the Fandom when I feel it is being infiltrated by those that don't know the Chronicles or understand the characters. This is Gothic romance at its absolute best. The acting, the writing, costumes, scenery, Music!!! ( Daniel Hart is a genius), directing.....every aspect is A +.
Yes, misuse of certain terms are off putting , but I am good at avoiding 🤣🤭
@@jordanparker657 I should probably do that too! I've left too many comments in reply to the Louis-can-do-no-wrong-and-Lestat-is-100%-evil people 😂
I really hope they do The Vampire Lestat justice next season and get across all his nuance, trauma, contradictions and love for life
@@IndieRockerHippy The sad part about the argument is as we not 100% Good or Evil doesn't exist. And this coming from a Louis lover 🤭🤣 And the fact that they have Raleigh Ritchie (Jacob Anderson) playing Louis doesn't help....I have loved him and his music long before I even knew he was also an actor. ☺️ But yes, I understand ...some responses, I felt I was writing the beginning of a masters thesis 🐻❄️🤫
The Vampire Lestat is going to be next level, the more the creators, actors and everyone involved get emmersed , the better it gets. I can't wait to see Gabrielle and Akasha 🤸🤸♀️🤸♂️ Let's just enjoy and only engage when it's pleasurable ✌️
@@jordanparker657 Exactly. Just like us, they're all very grey - capable of acts of love and kindness and incredible cruelty. That's what makes them so interesting and relatable. Jacob is doing an amazing job as Louis, they've really added so much to his character.
Definitely. Can't wait to see who they cast and what history of Lestat we get. Sam is gonna kill it 🙂
Great review! I love this show! I look forward to more reviews. You are in for a true treat, because you get to binge both session. The show is perfection 🙌🏾👏🏾💯
I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yes yes I would have lost my mind if I had to wait for episodes to release😭😭
YESSS OMG you will adore this series :)))
I believe you 1000% i’m already 4 episodes deep and this is literally my favorite thing to watch right now😊🕺🏾🔥
This is the first time I've seen your channel because of this video. I'm so excited that more people are starting to react to this show. I miss Anne. I first came across her novels as a young teenager in the 90s. While she told AMC how she wanted to series to be, I wish she would've lived to see what it's become. Loved your reaction. You've got another subscriber.
Oh wow that's so unfortunate. I didn't know the author was late. I'm sure she would have been so happy at the final product. Absolutely appreciate you for checking out the video and subscribing. Many more to come
Great reaction! You are going to love this show.!

“It’s giving white savior” I absolutely lost it. You’re so right.
This is one of my top favorite shows I'm obsessed/hooked simply one of the best shows on TV. It has everything incredible acting, writing, directing, cinematography, set design/costumes, the 2 main leads Jacob Anderson(Louis), and Sam Reid(Lestat) are both so amazing.

Commenting for the algorithm! So glad to see someone enjoying the first episode and letting the tale seduce them. The show really pulls one in like no other.
I am definitely seduced by it. Thank you so much

Loved your thoughtful comments to this masterpiece of a show and look forward to your reactions to the rest of the season. Subscribed!
Thank you so much!
What Lestat wants from Louis (and everyone really) is love - it's kind of his defining characteristic....
Loved the movie adaptation as a kid because my mom loved it as well. Going into the show I honestly thought it wouldn’t compete with the original movie but I was blown away and have fallen in love with this series.
nice to see someone who was also befuddled by the intro and also didn't realise it was an actually interview
So confusing haha
❤🔥Love Interview with the Vampire!!!
@@megdelaney3677 let’s goooooo🔥
Can't wait for you to watch the rest of the show!!!
I appreciate you
I love what you said about how quick & effectively we get invested in the characters, even/especially Paul. That's how good this show is, facts! Paul's impression still resonates even after dying in the freaking pilot.
Just finished season 2 and man you are in for a treat !
i'm obsessed with this show. i can't wait until season 3. apparently the 2 seasons covered the first book and parts of the 2nd book. OUT OF 13!!! i hope this show keeps going.
Yesss, Interview with the Vampire it’s the best Tv show out there this year! ❤️ you’re in for a ride! have fun ❤
I appreciate you
loved to hear your thoughts, made me think about things I hadn't yet considered!
Appreciate that. That's why we have this community to watch what we love and chat about it

You and Jacob both have that same calming and captivating quality 💖
Wow, thank you!🧡💜🖤
i love all the art in your background, very beautiful
Very much enjoyed your reaction. This is one of my all-time favorite shows!
Thank you so much for watching the video. Very well appreciated
Oh, fyi: there is a sister show to this that was refernced: Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches. Long story short, it is about a surgeon learning she is the heir to a family history of witchcraft. Her inheritance: a spirit that is willing to do anything to not only make the witches happy, but has his own agenda. It hasnt been received anywhere near as well as Interview, but given how they are going to be crossing over in the future, should be watched in between Interview seasons 1 and 2. A second spinoff called Anne Rice's The Talamasca is in the works, but you'll learn about them sooner or later.
The world of Anne Rice is beyond vast. From Interview publishing in 1976 to her final novels in 2018 and in 2022, there has been born a fandom i completely love and haopy to find people sharing and learning about it. Been a fan sense 2008, so this is a dream come true.
Oh you are in for a treat! This show is amazing!
Definitely dont apologize for talking too much I love hearing your thoughts! Its only the first episode but you already have a pretty nuanced view of the show
You're the best!
I think it's crazy how he said, he loved that Louis and Paul were getting some good moments right before Paul unalived himself. Like, the timing on that was too on point for some reason. 😮
This show is amazing! Season 2 will leave you SHOOK
