Interview with the Vampire
AMC
SERIES PREMIERE
10/9c
SUNDAY: Atmospheric and erotically charged, Anne Rice’s masterpiece of lust and bloodlust is adapted into a contemporary series presented as a do-over interview between Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) and a jaded journalist (Eric Bogosian) he’s spirited to Dubai to shed more light on his immortal condition. The story then travels back to early 1900s New Orleans, where Black and closeted Louis operates a brothel in Storyville, where he captures the attention of ancient vampire Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid). The rest is supernatural literary history. AMC has already renewed the series for a second season, with a series version of Rice’s “Mayfair Witches” novels coming in 2023.

Interview With the Vampire Series Premiere Recap: Did AMC's Anne Rice Adaptation Get Your Blood Pumping? (https://tvline.com/2022/10/02/interview-with-the-vampire-recap-season-1-episode-1-amc-series/)
-
I watched it, primarily because I watched The Walking Dead (now that the final episodes are airing, my next two months of Sunday evenings are booked). I wasn't planning on it - I thought it was only going to be on the AMC streaming thing and not the cable network (I don't stream - when it comes to TV I pond: untrendy, flat and immoveable), and I wasn't really expecting it would be much along with being too lazy to change the channel.
Was I wrong.
On both counts - it is airing on normal TV (along with that accursed streaming), and the pilot episode stunned me. It wasn't just good - I was literally shocked by what they aired - in the terms of language, sex, violence and gore - on a non-subscription, standard cable network. Not that TWD hasn't had its share of the eff-word thrown around along with plenty of intestines and internal organs pulled out of living bodies being devoured by a zombie horde, so it's not new, but I couldn't believe the extent to which they permitted it on this show along with everything else.
So I guess when TWD goes to the great beyond of streaming archives, I'll continue my Sunday AMC viewing with IWtV.

SUNDAY: Meanwhile, in another lustier vampire world, Rice’s erotically charged saga of Louis (Jacob Anderson) and Lestat (Sam Reid) continues with newly turned Louis painfully learning the ways of the undead in early 1900s New Orleans. “Bliss was merely a stage in my transformation. Pain followed,” he recalls. And not just physical pain but spiritual, because Louis doesn’t take easily to killing to satisfy his cravings. The most critical lesson he’ll soon learn: “Restraint is your most powerful weapon.”

Immature and bloodthirsty, she has a lot to learn about the consequences of indiscriminate killing. Her initial worldview: “You suck ’em like frog legs and burn ’em like trash.” This won’t end well.

1 INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE
AMC 2022–
AMC’s Interview With the Vampire is not only the best vampire drama in years but also one of the best book-to-screen adaptations in recent memory. Complain about the changes all you want, but adaptations can and should tweak things from the source material for the new story to be an artistic reflection of the time period in which it was made.
The series nails the atmosphere of Rice’s prose and captures the essence of her beloved characters with skill. And the cast is more than equipped to bring these characters to life. We’ll come out and say it: Interview With the Vampire the show is better than Interview With the Vampire the movie. (If you want to talk about adaptations betraying the source material, the movie completely ignores the romance between Louis and Lestat that Rice made clear.)

SEASON FINALE
10/9c
SUNDAY: The opulent supernatural drama pulls out the stops, and pours on the blood, in the baroque Season 1 finale, staged around a decadent Mardi Gras ball that Claudia (Bailey Bass) suggests as a farewell gift to the city that has begun to turn on them. It’s also a cover for her plot with “father” Louis (Jacob Anderson) to take down their 179-year-old vampire sire and tormentor Lestat (Sam Reid). “Could the children murder the father?” muses Louis to his scribe, Daniel (Eric Bogosian). A final twist sets the stage for a second season that I’m already impatient to see.

I really, really enjoyed it. As I said earlier, I had no intention of watching it (initially I thought it would be only on the streaming AMC network, not the cable/satellite one). I was surprised to see it was going to air on the "normal" channel right after TWD (which I started watching again since it was coming to an end and I wanted to see how the world ends), and - even though still skeptical - I viewed the pilot which blew me away. That's all it took and I was hooked. It's like that summer day in 1966, as a nine-year-old, after watching some game show on Channel 11, there was this add with spooky music for some soap opera that was coming on "right after these messages." I stayed with that one for five years.

11. "Like Angels Put in Hell by God," Interview with the Vampire
Interview with the Vampire begins and ends so strongly that there's a temptation to forget all the magic that came in the middle, but Season 1's penultimate episode is the one I keep returning to. Louis (Jacob Anderson) tells Daniel (Eric Bogosian) about the melancholy aftermath of surviving Lestat (Sam Reid) violently throwing him out of the sky, how a matured Claudia (Bailey Bass) cared for him, and how he eventually fell right back into his corrosive romance with Lestat. It's the easiest episode to point to when discussing what makes this show great, letting Anderson play an all new shade of Louis during a flashback to the '70s, allowing Reid to run wild with Lestat's sociopathic tendencies, and continuing the show's explorations of the manipulation of memory and fractured family politics. To put it plainly: Louis swam across the Mississippi River just to confront Lestat for writing him a ridiculous song and you expect us not to single out this episode? -Allison Picurro

6. Interview with the Vampire (AMC)
I want every show to be as audaciously unpredictable as Interview with the Vampire. Rolin Jones' delectable adaptation of Anne Rice's iconic novel is a work of bloody, campy, queer genius, a rollicking vampire story that uses its split timeline to ruminate on the slippery nature of memory and how people manipulate their own personal histories in order to protect themselves. Its beauty comes from its ability to strike a tricky balance between controlled chaos — Episode 1's vampiric church transformation scene comes to mind — and a deep emotional core, brought out by the love Louis (Jacob Anderson) has for Claudia (Bailey Bass) and, despite himself, Lestat (Sam Reid). Sometimes you get a perfect sight gag of two vampires sleeping in adjacent I Love Lucy-style coffins, and sometimes you get to hear the great Eric Bogosian deliver the most cutting TV line of the year in "Was it raining, Louis?" At no point in Interview with the Vampire's first season did I know what was coming next, down to its dizzying final moments that signal even better things to come. -Allison Picurro

The 20 Best TV Performances of 2022
These stars held our attention (https://www.tvguide.com/news/features/the-20-best-performances-of-2022/)
5. Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid, Interview with the Vampire
There's no separating Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid on this list because there's no separating Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt, hard as Louis may claim to have tried. (Was it raining, Louis?) As the Louis of the past and the Louis of the present, Anderson essentially plays a dual role, one he imbues with acute pain and so much humanity, even as Louis fears he's losing his. Reid's Lestat is a scenery-chewing show pony, able to say more with a flick of his wrist or a tilt of his head than many actors can with an entire monologue. Their sizzling chemistry and wholehearted commitment to making Louis and Lestat's hell marriage as toxic as possible is what makes Interview with the Vampire work. Separately, Anderson and Reid are exemplary. Together, they're lightning in a bottle. -Allison Picurro

The 5 Best Shows of 2022 That I Didn't Have Time to Watch Because There Are Too Many Damn Shows

Interview with the Vampire (AMC)
I watched a few advanced screeners of this and LOVED it. It's so good, and as a modern-day adaptation of Anne Rice's classic, it does a fantastic job of bringing in topical themes to a classic story, including race, sexuality, and identity. But I have no idea if it kept that up, because all the other fall shows came out and I fell so far behind on Interview with the Vampire that it felt like an insurmountable task to stay current on it, even though it's all I wanted to watch. Wait, it's only seven episodes long, and I still couldn't manage that? Is the finale out already? WHAT? It came out in mid-November? Please send help, all these shows I need to watch have corrupted my sense of time and space. I can't even remember what day it is anymore. Maybe I can pencil this one in somewhere between The Mandalorian Season 3 and the new Prime Video series Daisy Jones & The Six in early March. I think there's a free day there where nothing new has been scheduled... yet.

6 Shows and Episodes That Blew Up the Group Chat in 2022
These are the shows that brought out the all caps (https://www.tvguide.com/news/6-shows-and-episodes-that-blew-up-the-group-chat-in-2022/)
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.

2022 Was the Year of the Toxic ‘Ship on TV (https://www.tvinsider.com/1074146/toxic-tv-couples-2022-house-of-the-dragon-interview-with-the-vampire/)
Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt (Interview With the Vampire)
They were toxic in the book, they were toxic in the movie, and now they’re toxic on the show — with some redeeming qualities and soulmate-type vibes. Louis (Jacob Anderson) and Lestat (Sam Reid) aren’t lacking in drama, that’s for sure. They adore each other just as passionately as they make each other bone-twistingly miserable. Lestat lies to, manipulates, and even physically fights Louis; he’s so desperate to keep Louis by his side that he ends up turning both his love and their daughter, Claudia, (Bailey Bass) against him. In the end, they kill him… or at least they think they do, and a bereft Louis weeps over Lestat’s body.
So, is this a healthy relationship? Absolutely not. And yet, much like Eve and Villanelle, there’s a kind of “all roads lead here” inescapability to them. In many ways, they’re the only people (er, vampires) who see and understand each other for who they are, and buried beneath the years of resentment and murder, they do love each other. We’ll have to wait and see whether a reunion is in the cards in Season 2.

The Most Anticipated Book-to-TV Adaptations Coming in 2023
How many of these books have you read? (https://www.tvguide.com/news/the-most-anticipated-book-to-tv-adaptations-coming-in-2023/)
Mayfair Witches (AMC)
Book: Lives of the Mayfair Witches by Anne Rice
Premiere Date: Jan. 8
Following the delicious success of Interview with the Vampire — based on Anne Rice's 1976 novel of the same name — AMC is back with an adaptation of another book by the gothic author. Mayfair Witches adapts the trilogy Lives of the Mayfair Witches, which were published between 1990 and 1994. Alexandra Daddario stars as Rowan, a neurosurgeon whose life is turned upside down when she finds out that she's connected to a family of powerful witches. As Rowan starts to grapple with her own supernatural abilities, she begins to learn about a dark spirit that is haunting the Mayfairs.

25 TV Episodes From 2022 We Can’t Stop Thinking About (https://www.tvinsider.com/gallery/best-tv-episodes-2022/#11)
Interview with the Vampire - "The Thing Lay Still" (Season 1, Episode 7)
Eric Bogosian told us after Episode 4 that Jacob Anderson’s Louis de Pointe du Lac was an “unreliable narrator.” That was proven true in the nail-biting finale of Interview With the Vampire Season 1, but to his sheer terror, Daniel Molloy didn’t crack the story he thought he did. Through the flashbacks to the vampire family’s gloriously bloody last night in New Orleans, we saw how Louis and Lestat’s (Sam Reid) lusciously bad romance came to an “end,” but we also learned the story we’d been told all season long may have been edited in Louis’s favor. And after seven episodes of watching the existential angst-filled Louis rarely let off the steam of his bloodlust, Anne Rice’s beloved nightcrawlers fully leaned into the havoc they could always wreak. Poor Lestat just didn’t think Louis had the stomach to pivot that havoc his way. (And as we learned when the true flashback played, he didn’t.) “The Thing Lay Still” felt like a train heading towards unfinished tracks, but instead of going off the rails, it soared off the cliff, hurtling viewers into the long wait for Season 2. — Kelli Boyle

16 Breakout TV Stars of 2022: (https://www.tvinsider.com/gallery/breakout-tv-stars-2022-meghann-fahy-emma-darcy-jenna-ortega-joseph-quinn/#2)
"...
Among the many end-of-year roundups you’re inevitably going to see, allow us to take you through the TV performances we think turned actors into bonafide stars in 2022. Here, we list 16 acting performances that caught our eye and captivated audiences this year.
...
To be considered for this roundup, the performer cannot be widely known for a previous role. For example, Olivia Cooke is great in House of the Dragon, but she already had a beloved series regular role on Bates Motel and led other films. Conversely, Jacob Anderson was memorable as Grey Worm in Game of Thrones, but his star turn in Interview With the Vampire will be a career-defining role. ...
Without further ado, here are the TV Insider staff’s picks for breakout acting performances of 2022, in no particular order, plus the scenes that cemented their spots on the list."
Jacob Anderson & Sam Reid in Interview With the Vampire
There’s no separating Louis and Lestat. Jacob Anderson delivered his best onscreen performance to date in the IWTV pilot. His deliciously brooding Louis anchored the series’ flashbacks while managing to give his grief over losing his biological family and precious daylight a rolling presence. Present-day Louis was chillingly tranquil in talks with Eric Bogosian‘s Daniel Molloy, but the old Louis was brewing underneath his threatening living-dead facade all the while.
Favorite Scene: Anderson could win an Emmy for his confessional booth monologue in Episode 1 alone (the dark gift scene as a whole is one of 2022’s best-acted and directed sequences). It’s staggering how much exposition is successfully covered in the pilot, and Anderson expertly handled the task of establishing most of it. — Kelli Boyle
The flamboyant, frightening Lestat is the perfect foil to Anderson’s Louis. Sam Reid‘s vampire is cruel, obsessive, and at times incredibly charming and funny, and Reid plays Lestat’s sublime bitchiness with glee. While this is not Reid’s first role, this is the part that has introduced him to larger audiences. Watching him skip into rooms, pout adorably when he doesn’t get his way, and fly into violent, terrifying rages on the AMC series is a sheer joy.
Favorite Scene: In Episode 6, Lestat menaces Claudia by puppeteering a train conductor’s decapitated head. Reid moving the jaw, putting on an American accent, and advancing on a terrified Claudia is both hilarious and genuinely chilling. “Claudia, you left without saying goodbye… again” is one of the year’s best line deliveries. — Leah Williams
(Honorable mention to Bailey Bass, who handled Claudia’s episode-by-episode maturation with impressively adept skill.)

"AMC’s Anne Rice obsession continues with Mayfair Witches."
Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches
AMC
SERIES PREMIERE
9/8c
SUNDAY: (Also streaming on AMC+; premiere simulcast on BBC America, IFC, SundanceTV and WEtv). Joining what the network is labeling the “Anne Rice Immortal Universe”: an adaptation of Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy, which plays like a weak Gothic stepsister to AMC’s more compellingly erotic Interview with the Vampire series. A tremulous Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus) stars as Rowan Fielding, a San Francisco neurosurgeon who learns her true heritage lies in New Orleans with a family of conflicted witches. Rowan’s headstrong nature presents a challenge to Lasher (Jack Huston doing his best Johnny Depp impersonation), the ancient and seductive supernatural entity who has haunted the Mayfair clan for ages and stalks his new prey like the Phantom of the French Quarter.
It's probably not fair to compare it to Interview with the Vampire because the stories are nothing alike...

Anne Rice (Dark) Gifts For ‘Interview With the Vampire’ & ‘Mayfair Witches’ Fans
We regret to inform you the Louis and Lestat prayer candles are sold out. (https://www.tvinsider.com/gift-guide/anne-rice-interview-with-the-vampire-mayfair-witches-gifts/)
I watch both shows, but despite the fact that they advertise the Night Market during every ep, I've never visited it until today after reading the above article, so I actually wondered if the bit about the Louis and Lestat prayer candles being sold out was a joke or not. But no, they're real - and I'm not surprised they're sold out. But what is surprising, shocking even, is that the Titan Casket is also sold out. The thing costs $3,999.95!! Exactly how many were made for it to sell out at that price?! Some fans quite obviously have way too much disposable income!! [wink2] ::)

30 Sexiest Shows Of All Time: 5 Interview with the Vampire AMC 2022– (https://www.tvinsider.com/list/sexiest-tv-shows/#show15)
"Jacob Anderson’s Louis de Pointe du Lac said it perfectly: “Let the tale seduce you.” Watch just the pilot of this AMC adaptation of the Anne Rice literary classic and you’ll quickly learn how easy it is to be seduced by Sam Reid’s Lestat de Lioncourt and his vampire companion (and how much sexier it is than the 1994 film version that criminally excluded the book’s core romance). The combination of Lestat’s hypnotic elocution with Louis’ debonair air makes it impossible to look away from this tainted love even as it dives deeper into the depths of their toxic, immortal life together, as well as the aftermath of their split. Their carnal desire for blood is only surpassed by their lust for each other. Co-star Eric Bogosian described it best when speaking on the endless appeal of vampires in storytelling: “I mean, it’s hot.” The feral fanbase formed after just seven episodes of this sumptuous series would certainly agree. —Kelli Boyle "
