6 Shows and Episodes That Blew Up the Group Chat in 2022
These are the shows that brought out the all caps
Interview with the Vampire
Group Chat: Legitimately all of them
Screaming/Crying/Throwing Up Episode: "In Throes of Increasing Wonder" (Season 1, Episode 1)
I'm going to be real with you, I was on full bot-behavior when it comes to this show. I told every single person that I know that they needed to watch it, and then I requested they live-text me their reactions, and fam, we had a 95 percent "loved it!!" rate. This show proved that adaptations can still be innovative and important and not just a way for studios to bank on beloved intellectual property. Every change that the producers made to the Anne Rice novel and iconic early '90s film made the AMC series feel more relevant and gave new layers to a beloved story. Casting Jacob Anderson as Louis and moving the timeline up to the early 20th century inserted a fresh layer of tension between Louis and Lestat (Sam Reid). The show also ditched all ambiguity around the sexual nature of their relationship. It's dramatic and full of camp, and the Tumblr fans' wet dream of what an Interview with the Vampire adaptation should be. All of the group chats agreed that each episode brought unexpected drama and an excitement to watch week-to-week that is so treasured when watching TV is legitimately your job.
