25 TV Episodes From 2022 We Can’t Stop Thinking About
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
