I love this reveal and I just love this whole show so much
Please can you upload the massacre they did at the mardi gras party before Antoinette turned up? Thank you.
Can you please upload the fight between Louis and Lestat?
where can i watch the series?
That "the Love of my life" line felt like it was delivered with the same energy if it were being said by a battered wife.
Louis is 100% a battered wife. There are lines in the original book that I have heard victims of DV say.
I agree. Armand was worse than Lestat. Daniel is going to flip out on Louis again. But Armand is already taking control of Daniel’s life, lavishing him with fancy food and taking care of his medical needs. Did no one make an undead therapist for all these boys?
@@jessicas.6235Nope, that’s the problem.
@@jessicas.6235 I forget who, but I heard someone say once Armand makes Lestat look like an altar boy. Honestly? Accurate.
Daniel's face just going "bullshit" 😂
"Was it raining, Louis?" The line of all time
This!! It's all I think about in this scene. GORGEOUS callback.
Yes!!! And what is his problem, he know deep down Lestat killed him.
Idk but mines was "white teacher, black student both equal in the dark"
😭😭
1:10
i seem to have missed it, what does this phrase suggest or how is it connected to anything? there seems to be a meaning behind it but I can't put my finger on it 🤔🤔
i shouldve known Rashid was a vampire the moment he said "electronic mailbox". I even remember being caught off guard like who says that 😭😭 old ass man
😂😂😂😂
And the glovesss
“What’s a mediocre star to a 514 year old vampire?”
The sun: *laughs in 4.603 billion years*
It's even funnier considering he had to live 500 years to survive the sun meanwhile human do it easily 😭
I think what he meant was by star standards our sun is mediocre it’s smaller than most and younger
@@npierce14 to me he meant vampires are so strong that even the sun can't affect them 🤔
So how they're going to do Akasha storyline??
@@felipelimacavalcante5336 not sure this is your question, but in the book the very old vampires can walk in the sun (even without drinking akasha's blood), but they usually need to be over a millenium. I guess for the show, they adapted the age requirement so that they could have the whole Rashid is Armand reveal.
Honestly the highlight of this show has been old and jaded Daniel, he's gold haha
Yes, especially this episode. Definitely earned his stripes.
Right! Daniel you smart bitchy man, I love you
Look at Louis shooting daggers with his eyes at Daniel because he knows he's been busted.
@@orchidcapitalofitaly9780 I think Armand might have erased some of his memories
Him and Claudia showed up and showed out. Favorite characters so far.
Louis may have a hard time verbally saying his love but you can tell he loves Lestat based on his actions. He saved Lestat and like Daniel says he chose Lestat over everyone time and time again. He literally put his hands on Claudia who he adores to stop her from killing Lestat (Also poor Claudia now both of her family members have choked her 😭). Louis and Lestat are fucked up soulmates.
Yes truly toxic
I agree.
Toxic and destructive and negative for everyone else but soulmate none the less
Something I am going to write up has to do with the emotions that were both expected from and drilled into Black boys and men. Especially those Black and southern (which my family is). Some people can’t understand why he doesn’t say certain things but I understand 100%. And it’s sad.
@@hollib3900 YES. Just like black women are labeled 🏷 as "angry" & bitches for expressesing righteous anger that every other race on woman is allowed ro freely express without penalty, black men aren't allowed to cry or express vulnerability or get in touch with their feminine side without being labeled "gay" at the worst --- and "soft" at the least. It's not enough that the world polices 👮🏻 black people's emotions, but that we intern, withoin our own communities, have internalized that behavior and police 🚔 each other, expecting one another to be having according to White Supremacy's standards, even though we know it's doomed to fail from the outset.
Louis, Louis. From one toxic abusive monster to another.
Exactly 🤷🏾♂️
The show don't show that....they made it be love story.
@@anthonykrutis490 Did you miss the episode where Lestat beat Louis to hell then flew him up hundreds of feet and dropped him to the ground in front of Claudia?
What part of THAT isn’t abusive?!
What part of exploiting Louis’ grief, isolating him, stalking him, begrudging his connection to anyone else he cared about, and using sex to keep him under control NOT abusive?!
@@mc-rn8ro One episode?Where was the gaslighting from night one.By the second day Lestat had his blind father moved in and Louis was already spending his money on supporting Lestat.They made saving Claudia a act of mercy but it was a act of hate.Louis never professed love for Lestat at all.He called him his lover that's about it . Louis loved Claudia.They both called each other beloved.They never had that fight in book as it wasn't needed.It was all about abuse not a Twilight romance.Louis went from Lestat to Armand who just as sick.Man the writers put things in the tv show that just didn't exist in the book.
@@anthonykrutis490 it's called creative freedom. Nothing they did really took to much from the original story.
nothing creepier than Armand blurry in the background removing his contact lenses and then slowly levitating into the air like something out of The Exorcism

I'm obsessed with that moment it was so good
That was scary, I thought he was going to do something to Daniel at that moment 😰
Oh, is that what he was doing? I thought he was signaling for the prop guy to hoist him up on that wire.
@@mpicc4808 yeeeess!!!!
Oh that’s what he did?? I just thought Armand could control his body due to his advanced age, the first time I saw his eyes I also thought Rashid was Claudia and that Claudia had learned how to switch bodies and had always wanted to be a male. 😂
Louis has major PTSD and it looks like his memories may have been altered. Was anyone else creeped out how Armand grabbed Louis hand and floating above him? Another red flag is the fact the books are so high up and Louis likes to read but can't fly. Louis also looked like he forced smile after calling Armand which is sad.
You know there as such thing as ladders, right?
@@twdjt6245 yea but where are they?
@@memoryisamonster exactly lol
Louis is sad. Louis carried the thought of Armand loosely being responsible for Claudia's death. Armand blamed Lestat. He made a deal with Santiago. Get rid of Claudia. In his grief, he'll draw closer to Armand.
@@akw4000 Claudia is dead!!!!! 😭
And I must say I was a fan of Daniel in this episode. His words are like a hot sharp knife that cuts through all the bull 💩💩💩
I thought Daniel was going to say "Bullshit" before cut to black.
It's a great interview so far.
😂
Daniel figuring everything out was so incredible! What a strong ending, and the reveal of Armand! Louis & Lestat have someone terribly painful things to one another, but they’re soulmates. I don’t think either of them has it in them to kill the other for good. It’s such a shame Lestat, Louis & Claudia couldn’t make it work as a family.
Agree!!
You should read the interviews by Sam and Jacob after the finale came out. Both said that Louis just wanted time to escape and didn't want to kill lestat,also lestat would be proud of both of them for doing what they did.
Lestat knows he deserves it! Can't wait for his comeback era
@Elliot Alderson You've answered most of my questions! But does Claudia forgive Louie? Did Lestat kill Louie's army fling? Did he have something to do with Paul's death, was Lestat being truthful about his maker?
@Elliot Alderson Thank you so much! You're like an expert on this. Hopefully this show stick around for a while, it's a lot better then I expected.
I thought that Louis couldn't kill Lestat because of their "vampire bond" or something. Even if he wanted to.
Listen. Daniel's face screamed "Bitch, please" when Louis said Armand was the love of his life.
He said in his mind "bet" and it was on since then
I get creepy vibes from Armand. At least Lestat was honest in his dishonesty.
Same.
@Elliot Alderson don't tell them
You have no idea how correct you are
@Lee Brown THANK YOU. I came here to say something. That would be so dang creepy.
@@runningbear6391 yet they had Antonio Banderas playing him🤷♂️. A 5'9, 33yr old Spaniard playing a 5'6 Ukrainian Vampire that's supposed to look forever 17yrs old
This finale was SO GOOD!!! But I could not help but think about how absolutely destroyed and angry Claudia must have felt to realize that Louis chose Lestat over her and himself yet again. After everything they had been through, after how much she saw Louis suffer because of Lestat, after how much SHE suffered because of Lestat, and after she had orchestrated the PERFECT plan to kill him! All of that for nothing. All of that just for Louis to let Lestat live. I felt so heartbroken for Claudia and Louis. Louis is so broken because of Lestat.
We will definitely see that new dynamic plays out in season 2 while they are in Europe and I can't wait!
In the books, by this time Lestat had drunk(drank?) from the Queen of the Damned, meaning he was very powerful and extremely strong. Also, when a vampire burns, you must spread the ashes away from each other to prevent the vampire from coming back. So even if Louis had burned Lestat, he would have come back to life, based on 2 reasons Anne Rice gave in her books. If the show follows any of this, it would have still worked. Lestat can't/haven't fully died.
claudia was a mistake
@@triciaramgoolam4045 if they do change Claudia's fate from book to show, that part about the scattered ashes might be something worth remembering. IF and only IF they decide to change her fate. I get the feeling Lestat (in modern times) is going to be storming that place with Marius in tow as Marius was the only one that could somewhat handle Armand and is more powerful than Armand as Marius had been drinking from Akasha ever since he became the guardians of her and Enkil.
@@triciaramgoolam4045 Not to be pedantic, but just for accuracy's sake....Lestat was also turned by some ancient nutjob vampire that'd never turned anyone, basically the vampire gene lottery. The age and number of people you turn supposedly both big factors in how powerful your spawn becomes. I'd compare it to the difference between winning the lottery and winning the powerball. It's brought up in a few of the books iirc, definitely in The Vampire Lestat (only one worth reading aside from Interview imho).
On a side note, I fucking love how Lestat ends up being "turned". First off is randomly picked by this crazy powerful vampire, who's presumably been insane for quite some time, seeing how his castles basement/dungeon is just this massive pile of corpses of the poor people he's killed over the centuries/millenia possibly. The cherry on top being how he basically treats it like the ultimate prank. Kidnaps Lestat, throws him in the body room, comes back and turns him, says literally nothing and then immediately jumps in the raging inferno body pile, manically laughing and not even wishing Lestat luck.
Louis should just take a celibate vow , he's clearly a toxic paramour magnet🤦♀️
@Elliot Alderson yes, so true. Even in the books, so many vampires were drawn to him because of this, this is what made him "beautiful".
And 100 sessions of EMDR
Yes
But, that's what the make up sex so good.🤪😅
He needs that friend who's like "Maybe you should just be single for a bit, hun. Have some 'me' time. Recalibrate."
I adore this scene. The culmination of Louis' whole character arc throughout the season because it truly lays bare how Louis never changed, let alone got better. "I have a cooler, stronger, older husband-daddy this time, and he's fixed me." He rejects so many opportunities to stand up for something and improve his unlife. Despite all the hardships he's faced, despite the grief and self repression he's suffered as a gay black man in a racist, homophobic world, he's still a resentful rich boy who only self-reflects under duress that affects him personally and will lash out about it if he can.
He's guilty and uncomfortable about the idea of his loved ones being literal serial killers but at no point does he take any kind of stand or ultimatum about it. Before he was a Vampire he was already a vampire: a slumlord pimp and enabler of addictive vices, whose wealth came from *sugarcane plantations* and he never tried to find a better way for himself then.
Louis is a complex, tragic, terrible person, and he's fascinating. Jacob Anderson should have won an award for this performance.
EDIT: he did get a whole bunch of nominations though, as he should have
This is one of the best character analysis I’ve ever read.
Claudia did all that lamenting about Louis being in the gilded cage but he put himself in a cage time and time again. And yes, I rolled my eyes when he said Armand is the love of my life. I don’t even have to read the books to know that’s some BS.😂.
Louis, you mean Armand is the pole that you’re riding this century. Let’s be real Louis.🙄
claudia in s2 asks: "Who are you Louis? If there was no him, and there was no me, who would you be?" We already know the answer to that
You didn’t have to read my boy like that 😂
Louis when he sees this comment:
🤚👁️👄👁️🤚
Ngl totally thought Daniel was gonna die when Armand started floating
Aren’t they supposed to be lovers in the books?😅
@@parrotcracker6629 i mean apparently? I personally have only seen the movie prior to the show so i had no clue
I wouldve ran through the screen ... leave my grandpa alone
I only ever seen it upto that point was there ever a continuation? Was sorta a cliffhanger either that or its heavily implied that Daniel wasn't making it out alive... Armand did say he wasn't gonna save his life this time 🤷♂️ I doubt an old recovering addict with a terminal illness is escaping anywhere against two ancient vampires
its so funny how daniel asks " was it raining louis" whenever he doesnt belive him
Why is Daniel such a savage though 😂
Daniel has no home training 😆😆😆
Because when you have Parkinson’s and you know death is coming soon, maybe you don’t give a 💩
Same reason Walter white was a savage.
@@TheDeb69 LOL. And I KNOW Daniel wanted to cuss Louis TF OUT 🤬🖕🏾 ---- though he was half-"smiling" ---- when Louis said after all these years, after Daniel is old 🧓🏼 & decrepit, that NOW 🙄 be would "turn him"! I bet Daniel's thought bubble was saying 🧓🏼💭: "U malicious QUEEN 😡💅🏼!! You're only offering now cuz you know I won't accept it at this point in my life! WHY would I want to be turned at this stage of my life and instead of being 'Forever 21,' my a$$ is gonna be forever 61!! 🖕🏼U, LOUIS!!"
Savage is a understand statement Daniel is brutal but deadly
Daniel's words cut like a knife. He's gold.
Truly one of the best character we learn more thanks to him that we do through louis since he can see through his different memory change and lies !! Showing us that louis is an unreliable narrator and all i love what they did with his character !!
I never realized how Louis regular voice came back after he started remembering again. 😮
have you noticed how sedated he sounds during the modern day? it gets more noticeable from beginning to end of the modern day scenes. i have to watch the show about 3x to get all the subtle hints and details! crazy.
@@MCollies Yeah and he also doesn’t talk like he’s living in the 21st century lol I mean I get he was born in the 1870s and brought up in the 1900s but still it’s…weird lol
[Insert the scene in San Francisco!] look how animated and full of life he is compared to present day Louis.
@@MCollies At first i thought that was just him changing over the years but watching it again it sounds so ...rehearsed. Not as in Jacob is bad at acting but Louis is putting on a performance and trying so very hard to look composed and sure of himself
The way he was flying had me 😮
I'd like to see the behind the scenes footage. On a RUclips short the other night I saw Sam Reid talking with the other actor how they made the part of JUST A LITTLE BITE. Sam said he was on a bike and they were clinging to each other. Both chuckled at what he said. Must have been standing on the pedals some how. Most exciting part in the whole series how Lestat bit Louis naked.
I can't wait for Lestat to come back and save Louis from Armand because this twink is crazy. Loustat forever.
“This twink is crazy” I really hope that’s a line in season 2.
Armand is the craziest of all twinks, facts.👏🏽
Omg 💀💀
@@coribug42 I don't mind the physical changes at all. I liked Assad from the second he first appeared on screen as Rashid and I can't wait to see him develop Armand :)
The same Lestat that lied repeatedIy, physically abused Louis (almost killed him) and kept Claudia prisoner? No thanks! There's a reason Louis and Claudia escaped.
Blink twice Louis blink twice
I always loved how Daniel calls Louis on his bs is absolutely brilliant
No joke, having read the books, that last line had me yelling: “OH, FUCK YOU!"
I said the same thing. Yelled Get the Fuck Outta Here!!! lol
The whole series has me wanting to vomit. I love Anne Rice books and they mutilated All of her characters.
@@Ariel-ut8fp Not really
@@Ariel-ut8fp Oh sweetie, the original comment went right over your head..
@@Ariel-ut8fpAnne Rice was apart of this series before she died. Does that still count as mutilation?
I think we are headed to a battle between Lestat vs Armand for Louis.
Bring it on!!!!
Who wins??
@@asimweishengoma6866 in the books they do fight and lestat even with akasha blood barely holds his own it's brutal and definitely going to shock alot of ppl the lengths to which lestat will go for the ppl he loves
@@QuEsT_X I mean the queen of the damn I've seen that one.. but with Armand I didn't . So will Lestat kick Armand's ass 😏
Lestat would destroy armand so easily it wouldn't be a struggle
I'm excited to see how terrifying Armand is gonna be in season 2. The writers did this for a reason and it wasn't to give Louis a happy ending. Readers know who Armand is and what he's like. I mean, he DOES love Louis in his own twisted way, and has always been very protective. I think we're going to see where that goes wrong in the next season, rather than it being another thing Louis recounts. Instead l, they're gonna let it play out in front of us outside of the story. Chill guys, they have plans for at least two more seasons, there is so much more to get through.
For all the people mad that they twisted Anne Rice's characters: she worked on the first season WITH them before she passed. She was excited about this show, from what I've seen quoted in articles. You're mad that Louis is black, but in the book, page 148, he literally says he's Creole. Even if he hadn't and it was purely a creative choice on the show writers' part, there is such thing as creative freedom, and the writers are allowed to twist the narrative a little, or a lot, to fit their vision. I'm personally very excited to see what they do with it, because we all know it's gonna keep going downhill and past rock bottom.
I think because in the books, daniel and armand were together, we will get to 80s and see young daniel more.
I'm actually looking forward to seeing Armand's way of dealing with the not so little Claudia problem in the Season Two.
@@agnes4428 Oh season 2 seems like it's going to be nuts. There's been some season 2 spills from the shoot in Prague and the TdV is modeled off Grand Guignol. If you don't know what that is, look it up! It's going to be pretty brutal.
They have the rights to all the Vampire Chronicles and I think they’re planning this Immortal Universe to cover almost of not ALL the books, plus it’s interweaving with the Mayfair Witches etc. So it’s gonna be more than just two more seasons. My theory is that if book one, based on what I’ve seen, is looking to be covered in 2 seasons of 7 episodes each (s1 had 7 episodes) thats 14 episodes = + or - 13-14 hours in total, which isn’t bad. Book 2 The Vampire Lestat will probably be down the same way, that’s 2 more seasons 3&4. 7 episodes = 14 hours. I’m also counting book 3 cuase they’ve already mentioned clues towards Queen of the Damned in the s1 dialogue. So book 3 Queen of the Damned, 2 more seasons seasons 4&5 of 13-14 episodes that’s 14 hours or maybe 3 seasons because there’s a lot that happens there with more vampire plus the Talamasca etc so 2-3 seasons = seasons 4 5 & 6 = 7 episodes each that’s 21 episodes which =s 20-21 hours to cover a single book. That’s not bad and they’re like 10 more books after that. But I’m just keeping my predictions to up to 3 cause of the clues of what’s coming, plus a clue they showed which references Menoch the Devil which I’m sure that implies they’re gonna cover that book as well and that’s book 5. So more is on the way.
Creole doesn't necessarily mean black they have white creole people too. Also it doesn't bother me it did surprise me. But I don't care what color he is as long as his acting is good
1:52 I like how you can see Armand taking off his contacts in the background
Unlike book or movie Louis,who contemplate death this Louis is very codependent , self hating and extremely suicidal , so Im guessing once Claudia died ,he tried to end his life must prob multiple time.
Armand probably remove the memories that would lead him to his downfall.
But future Louis lives like a doll, Armand feed him , probably cloth him and it seems he never leave that home.
But lestat is not better, that man wanted to kill Claudia and replace her with his side piece, why did he think that would work.
Louis loved lestat but lived for Claudia.
He did no choose lestat over Claudia, just didn't have it in him to kill lestat.
@Elliot Alderson I totally see your point but at the same time I also see this guy's point as well like he did choose lestat over Claudia but same he chose her over him, he lives for Claudia!
@@runningbear6391 it's a AU of interview with a vampire, I also think they could of changed the name .
@Elliot Alderson Yep
He chose Lestat over Claudia for the simple reason that by letting Lestat live, he was condemning Claudia. (No spoilers from the book) but consider that Lestat already hated her and had threatened to kill her multiple times and that was before she tried to kill him and actually bested him at his own game, which would tear at his ego. There is no way he wouldn't hunt them down - he'd have forever to do it - and no way Louis could stop him from killing her.
@@shenalaurent2730 If they had changed the name, people would have been outraged because they would have said "this is just IVWTV" with the name changed. They were never going to please everyone -no one can, so why bother to try? Everything isn't for everyone. If you don't like the series, enjoy the movie. If you don't like the movie, enjoy the books. They've pleased more than enough book readers and newcomers to make up for the ones that are unhappy.
Remember, in the books who ends up being Armands companion, this is how they are going to do it... Daniel doesn't remember the night he and Armand met remember that the very strong vampires can remove memories. My theory is Daniel and Armand shared a moment, and the bite that Daniel remembers receiving from Louis, he may have received it from Armand, it explains why Armand looked so hurt when Daniel called him the rent boy, and the attraction Daniel has to Armand but he can't figure it out
I think the bite scar is from Louis but remember that vampires can heal their victims after they bite them so Armand may have taken a sip any other time and there would be no evidence, meanwhile Louis was still trying to master the little drink at the time and Armand had to physically pull him off Daniel so they were both too busy to even care if Daniel had a scar.
That being said I do think the devil's minion tale already happened, right after the original interview just like on the books and instead of turning him after 12 years together, Armand erased Daniel's memory of their time together and he was trying to get him to remember by being in close proximity while pretending to be human
Everybody wants da Louie. He can't keep up, he's in such high demand 🙂🙂🙂
He got that good good. Lol
"What's a mediocre star to a 541 year old vampire." Sorry but I laughed. The star is billions of years old. He's not even a toddler in comparison to that.
I’m quite sure he doesn’t mean that in a literal way, but in a poetic one. More like, “I’m a vampire and my biggest weakness is the sun, but I’ve lived long enough to become immune to it.”
@@ADMG yes, I did get that context, but it was still rather silly.
But to be fair, there are dozens of stars that are way older, faster, bigger, more powerful, and brighter than the sun
(even others in our galaxy alone). The sun is just the star we orbit. So compared to some of the other stars out there, the sun can be seen as mediocre.
In comparison to other stars, our sun is mediocre. I don’t think he was saying it from a place of arrogance. Just that whatever supernatural force they are, they are old enough where the sun does not affect them anymore. I’m sure if it was a larger star probably but then also our planet wouldn’t exist anymore.
(Edited for spelling)
@@queenmoreau2098 Yes, that's true, but the sun is only mediocre compared to other stars. Armand himself doesn't even have the same importance as an ant in comparison to that mediocre star we call our sun. One solar flare from the sun can cause problems for the entire planet.
SUCH A GREAT SHOW AND A WORTHY ADAPTION TO ANNE RICES IMMORTAL WORKS
They only took her characters and twisted them however they wanted. This show is trash
@@Ariel-ut8fp When I first heard about the changes they were making from the books to the show I was concerned but in watching it I think they did a really great job. Yes they changed a lot but that also keeps it interesting and exciting. If you want the book version it’s always available in print form, but a 100% adaptation from page to screen will probably never happen, as it’s boring for the cast and crew and perhaps most of the audience.
Hey, it was way better than that movie with Tom Cruise, right?
LESTAT has to be alive. Lestat and Louis have to be endgame! Aint no way Louis just said Armond iS tHe LoVe Of HiS lIfE. Louis is defo under his control
Facts
Yeah Louis is very unstable and a very unreliable narrator, and Loustat is endgame, it’s canon
@Elliot Alderson He can control the Louis 's mind , but not his feelings . He loves Lestat soo deeply , that's the point to turning point
I don't remember from the books but Armand was cruel. And this has to be mind control.
Didn't you see Lestat's hand grabbing rats in the city dump.
OK I can't be the only one who's seeing a sort of pattern in the men that Louis falls for.......
Poor baby definitely has a type 😬
Abuse victims tend to fall victim to more than one narcissistic abuser.
Daniel may sound rude and offensive, but he does make a good point on how toxic Louis and Lestat’s relationship was. And he’s right about Claudia being so messed up, especially since Louis chose Lestat over her and didn’t realize her failing mental health until she became a serial killer.
Daniel embodies “brutal honesty”.
Daniel is personally my favorite character besides Lestat. Since Eric can't go to the other amazing sets and wear dazzling costumes, he is pressured to hold his own in the scenes that he has with Jacob and Assad. He's not only hilarious but he's very witty. You can't pull the wool over Daniel's eyes. He calls BS in a heartbeat. The major difference between Daniel and every other character is having lived a long life as a human being, and experiencing every stage of human life and enduring a chronic illness. As powerful as Lestat is and as grand as immortality appears to be, he along with the other vampires will never know what it truly means to grow old as a human. In the movie "Troy," Achilles explains it quite beautifully: "The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again." Daniel has reached his personal apex as a journalist, so you have to assume he's chronicled countless other human lives and d*** good at his job. Daniel is unique, because in a way, he knows more about human life than Lestat and Armand. Now that he has interviewed Louis, Daniel can now methodically ask, what's more meaningful, to be a vampire and potentially live for centuries or to live a full human life?
Who else thought that Eric's portrayal of Daniel was eerily similar to Anthony Bourdain?
(FYI, my comments are in reference to the TV series, not the books.)
He's also seemingly the only person with a sense of morality.
I love IWTV, and I originally did not have high hopes for the series, but I was very mistaken. I love the way everyone was portrayed and the dynamics between the characters, it’s brutally beautiful. And I just love how they portrayed all of the emotions that made up Louis and Lestats relationship.
Everything from the casting to the acting to the writing! One of the best shows of the year! AMC is handling this whole series with so much care and you can really tell everybody involved truly understands the heart of the source material.
Grey worm👍🏾
Omg this show finale was sooooooo good! I love the how they honored the book but also expanded it and made it interesting
agreed, sure fucked with it a fair bit too. but i'm curious to see how they planned around this.
“I protect him from himself.”
That cut to Louis looking tired and dejected at 2:13
RUN LOUIS RUUUUN. LESTAT SAVE YO MAN
You mean the same guy that dropped him a Bajillion feet?
@@Fluffadoodle me as Lestat apologist want to say that was their girl's version of story. It might not really have happened or it may not be what really happened.
@@Fluffadoodle if Louis was my friend in real life, I’d tell him to stop relationships for now and get therapy.
But, Louis as a fictional character, I can’t help but want them to reunite. Even though they are fucked up.
I know that while his and lestat’s relationship is pretty toxic (they are literal murderous vampires) they are also super entertaining and engaging. Iwtv was never meant to be an educational story to learn healthy relationships from. While i think it’s a very meaningful and wonderful story, it’s also a dark, horror fiction, and meant to entertain.
Plus, it’s been a long time since Louis killed lestat. And hopefully he’s found living in garbage humbling (well well well, trash meets trash huh).
Armand is arguably worse than even lestat, and honestly, I don’t see anyone else here to save him.
They love each other deeply, despite the imperfections. And together I think they tell a compelling and beautiful story, with the murder, blood, flaws and all.
@@naturalsapphire9641 yeah I agree and I genuinely hope it is so.
There is a scene in one of the episodes where Daniel and Louis are speaking and you can see the burn marks on Louis' hand. He is probably very suicidal and Armand in his twisted mind really thinks that he is saving Louis from himself by keeping him in a gilded cage.
Of course Armand is kind of responsible, as is Lestat, for Claudia's death but while Louis and Lestat are haunted by the love they felt for her, she really was against vampire laws...so its complicated. Its even more complicated with Armands love for Louis and his own past.
Teenage me would have never thought I would grow up to be an Armand apologist lol
I want to see Armand and lestat have a full on bitch fight against each other for Louis. Hair pulling and catty insults and everything
Armand is older than lestat. The oldest always wins.
I'd LOVE that in season 2
@@leeelam5520 lestat fed from the queen so in this case, he's stronger.
Hair pulling that is so funny
@@ninetimesaday yeah but didn't armond feed from the queen too?
I remember reading somewhere that the bookshelf being so high up is so somber because throughout the show we've been told AND shown that one of Louis' pleasures in life is reading. Probably one of the things he loves most. But the bookshelf is so high up that only Armand can reach it since Louis can't fly. Louis can't even partake in his favorite hobby on his own :( That's how i got bad vibes from armand
Was it raining Louis that line gives me goosebumps
Ok, what's up with the floating bookcase that is always in the sunlight?? Louis is obsessed with reading and basically is a giant book in the flashbacks but modern Louis never has books? .... and they are kept away from him in the sunlight?? That has to mean something
"The love of my life" sure girl as if we don't know
The series is so impeccably cast, I can't even.
I'm admiring how smart Daniel is, I love him haha😂
I love this whole ending scene so much but the beginning of it is hilarious when at 0:23 armand says "this session is over" and daniel gives him such a funny look like "really bitch?" like he is about to destroy armand's lying ass skfjfjd
you know what, I'm really concerned for Louis..he is in a state of hypnotization at the end with Ahmard...
At the end - unspoken of course:
Louis: Help me
Armand: Just try and take him from me. Go on, try.
Daniel is an absolute master strategist at making people crack under their own pressure I love it. He knew this entire time that Louis was hiding something, and the SECOND he found out what it was he just had to let Louis have it. To Daniel Louis may be a vampire, but he's a hypocrite and a liar just like any other human.
As soon as I finished the last episode I was blown away and went straight to RUclips. I'm glad to hear there will be a season 2 and/or a season 3. Can't wait.
This is such a good moment , and such a strong finale!!! I really can't wait to see what they do in the future, and SSOOOOO bloody happy S2 is confirmed!!!
What i don't understand is why people watch this if they hate it...rent the movie and bei happy or just read the book and be Happy...
I think what we're forgetting is that Louis and Lestat have a love hate relationship. As much as Louis wants to hate Lestat. He simply can't. After all, Lestat was the one that made Louis realize that nearly everyone in his human life was using him. Lestat gave Louis the choice to either be a vampire, to die, or to continue living his life as a human. Lestat took away Louis suffering from the death of his brother (death of his family in the original story). Yes Lestat did a lot of bad things to Louis, but you can't just purely hate someone that in the long run has help you out. It's a love hate relationship between the two. And I think there's things Louis can admit that he was in the wrong rather than Lestat. For example with the turning of Claudia, (in the show) Lestat told him it was a bad idea but Louis begged Lestat to turn her. You can feel Lestat's anger as he felt like the 3rd wheel. Nobody wants to feel like a 3rd wheel especially in a family. And in a way I could understand his behavior when Claudia and Louis were gonna up right just leave him. Idk, I just think that both (technically all three) parties are at fault. But that's the thing with relationships especially toxic ones. People treat each other awful but in the long run they've also helped each other. Idk. I just found their relationship in this show very interesting as it resembles how toxic relationships are. How relationships are in general lol.
i love how this spin on daniel really shows the unreliable narration lol (and i love unreliable narrations)
I love this reveal and I just love this whole show so much
I don't think either of them really love Louie. I think that as immortals they get stuck in their time frame. Set in their ways. They bring new vampires into the circle so they can be brought up to date. Since Louie had his humanity intact he may be more capable of going with the flow of time, more so then other vampires. It's like Louie said to Armand in the movie, "you want me to quicken you once more" I just think most vampires in Rice's universe are users
The acting is worth raving over. I got to give it up to the writers too. Truly horrifying on a epic Vampire level. Claudia is..just wow, super scary. This was a excellent season finale. I can't wait for part 2.
Facts her and Daniel were my favorites
Ooooh I missed him taking out his contacts when it first aired... I thought (at the time) he was using some kind of vampire glamour to hide his eyes.
"You don't need a memoir Louis. You need 100 sessions of EMDR".
am I the only one seeing this?
I watch this video over and over again, and after the surprise of "who rashid is", focusing on Louis, I feel like he's desperate...
when he "presents" Armand, the sad music, Armand's icy gaze, Louis' more than frozen smile presenting him as "the love of his life", I have the impression that he is screaming at us help!!!"
like Daniel, I don't understand this desire to make a book with a story where a lot of things are missing... but isn't Louis calling for help, there?!
It's so creepy one moment he has this emotional breakdown over Lestat and the next moment he's holding hands with Armand.
Louis never even uttered the word love in front of Lestat and now he's saying love of my life to Armand. Something is definitely not right
Mind control at its finest. Svengali overtones.
Basically Danny called bullshit!
I love this cast so much
@@runningbear6391 simple, because this is kind of an AU. It does follow the book somewhat, but not completely. In the book, Louis owns slaves. The 1994 movie followed that as well, but did change it with him having a wife that died in childbirth with the infant. That was the first AU. This would be the second one, which mostly follows the book with Louis's brother falling to his death (I am still convinced either Armand or Lestat did it, and I have a very good reason why), his sister getting married, and his father dead making him head of house. However, in this AU, he is a pimp and Lestat takes a liking to him. And in this one, Lestat doesn't really give Louis a choice like he did in either the book or the first AU. In this one, Lestat basically coerces Louis to become a vampire. Unlike in the book and first AU, this AU's Louis didn't have a choice. He was manipulated into becoming a vampire. I think that if Lestat didn't use his powers on him or anything, I think Louis would have rather stayed human. This is speculation on my part though, but I doubt that he would have consented to being a vampire if Lestat didn't influence him.
But yeah, as long as you see it as an AU of the original story and not as the story itself, it's actually pretty cool.
@@runningbear6391 Its art and most of all fiction..remakes happen all the time
@@youdrainme8043 this is also true.
@@youdrainme8043 this isnt a remake it's a shitshow.
Even with all the changes this Series captured the relationship between Lestat and Louis perfectly
-"Big fucking rats"
- you knew it Louis "
Jajjajaja por supuesto que él lo sabía!!!!!!
He knew it!!!!!!!
Watched the whole season in a day. So good! Well made 👌
Very good can't wait for season 2
Where can I watch?
as much as I love literally every single actor in the series, I'm a little tiny bit sad that Armand isn't slavic again, as he is in the books, but that's just because I'm slavic too and there's nearly never any of us in media like this, and if they are, it's always russians lol still I love him, he has armand looks and character and i liked him ever since he appeared on screen so that's all that matters, i love armand 🥰
Moonlight Sonata in the background will always makes me think of Lestat. The 80s movie featured it also ✌️
Antonio Banderas watch out
Antonio was better
Am I the only one who's completely depressed after this scene?
I can't live with this! 😅💀💀😭
what I don't understand is why people watch this if they hate it...rent the movie and be happy or just read the book and be happy...
I think they combined Daniel’s character with David Talbot. While the show took several liberties with the source material, I’ll definitely be tuning in for Season 2.
Perhaps. The majority of the changes were things Anne was working on or had written with her son for the show. I'm good with it.
Daniel is brave or crazy.
I have a theory that David is working with lestat to free Louis from Armond. Cause in the book Armond has a crazy obsession with Louis to the point of killing Claudia in a pretty horrific way. Curious if they will bring in Daniel and the talamaska for season 2. Although I can see them waiting on the talamaska until they bring in akasha. Guess it depends on how much of the books they plan to stick with before they go off on their own.
Daniel called bullshit on that "love of my life" SO fucking fast.
🧛♂️🧛🏽♂️🧛🏿♂️😳that last sentence left me mute🩸
We can all agree that damn cherry blossom tree is Claudia, a representation of her, or at least where her ashes or body is right?
Louis did it on purpose he knew it that's why he told Claudia not to burn him
All of season 1 is up now? Okay time to binge. =)
"this is the same shit that happened in San Francisco" "Not exactly"
"You were there" "You don't remember, do you"
Ok but what happened in San Francisco?
**In Loki voice** TELL ME!
Well Daniel called Louis out one his bullshit. He really is still the pimp from storyville. Daniel probably knew when he got there that there was a moderate chance he will be killed (Remember, the guy has parkinsons, he had nothing to lose at this point). Given Louis temper, Daniel constantly pressing his buttons, goading him into taking his life. He seems calm considering Armand openly says he wont save him this time.
Armand couldn't go in the sun. He tried killing himself but was badly burned. I think only think 3 vampires could go in the sun.
I’ve not seen the show but I guess that explains why some of the shelves are so high up
I feel like Daniel is a bit jealous and like Louis himself.
I f*cking loving Daniel so much
Louis did choose Lestat over her several times over
Why did I JUST notice Armand taking out his contacts in the background???????
HE DOES WHAT? Let me rewind 💀
@@sia6045idk if you caught it already but he takes them off at 1:52
I think Armand manipulated and fucked Louis’ head up which is why he always looks pained and has to watch his words, to make him remember differently and now Louis is trapped again. I think maybe Daniel was asked to interview him again to help set him free and trigger Lestat to find Louis
Armand is very protective of Louis...
I love this version of Daniel.
Literally starting screaming during this scene.
even knowing ths story, this scene makes me feel like i'm on drugs!!! louis couldn't burn him!!! and daniel called his g*y azz tf out on it!!!
Aw, even though I'm sad Armand is different from the books, I'm here for these tragic queens! 👑👑
He's so beautiful though.
@@moonlily1 No disrespect to the actor. I'm just disappointed we never got the Armand from the books in any adaptation :(
@@Misslady123456 It doesn't bother me, Armand wasn't a favorite of mine.
@@Misslady123456 He's supposed to have light brown or red hair? I can't remember.
@@mmmmmvodka Yeah, he's a ginger I think.
"The Vampire Armond. The love of my life."
Louie had to keep telling himself that. He almost sounds like he believes it now.
When I saw Armand floating (I didn’t know it was Armand at the time)…I went “Ah shit.”
God I love our little murder goblin so much.
