Interview with the Vampire is a remarkable remake that takes place in 1910s New Orleans. It centers on Louis (Jacob Anderson), a wealthy Black man who is turned into a vampire by his lover Lestat (Sam Reid). The series is a sprawling gothic tale that explores the relationship between Louis and Lestat, as well as the politics of race and the ethics of being undead. In other words, it’s a lofty love story with some bite to it. Watch if you’re a fan of the lore, action, and melodrama that comes with addictively ambitious vampire stories such as this.
"In its most compelling moments, AMC’s reimagining of Anne Rice’s novel explores which powers a Black vampire can and cannot wield in a segregated America."
— Inkoo Kang
"By critiquing racial and relationship dynamics AMC’s series feels fresh and more than “just” a vampire series. Happily, it’s to die for."
— Kristen Lopez
