The story of each episode is discussed, explored and explained. My likeness for the show also grew as I listened to a podcast by AMC where a lot of the main crew is interviewed. However the acting was great by all parts! I can really recommend watching interviews with the main actors Sam Raid and Jacob Anderson on Youtube- their chemistry is wonderful! It's also obvious that both of them worked hard during the role-finding process, they've read the books and have become quite proud & protective of their characters. Sorry - now I compare it to the novel- better stop. But it does takes away a bit of her supposed pain of being 'stuck in the body of a child', she is still taller than a little person and can travel on her own. Claudia being a teenager- I get why they logistically made that choice, a child shouldn't play a murderer and especially not this gruesome kind. I liked some parts about what they did to Lestat, speaking french half of the time resonates well with his chaotic nature! At some points I did find him a bit softer than a cold blooded killer should be. One of the main changes of course giving Louis an African American background and the whole business-part gave the character more depth and made the story more intriguing.

And a lot of the time I actually really liked it! Some of the changes were quite interesting and gave the story some (perhaps well needed) fresh air. (Louis is a pimp.? Claudia is a teenager?! Lestat is capable of loving?!!!)Īnyway I watched the show and tried my best to enjoy the ride for what it was rather than what is wasn't. My excitement was somewhat damped when I saw how much they changed from the original story. The book is one of my favorite novels therefore I was really exited for this adaption.
