Why isn’t this show getting recognized for awards? What a stellar episode and the performances were out of this world.

@@jessicagudino8461 It might be a joke but getting a single nomination to a major award can bring attention and buzz, and therefore grow the audience. It already is a critical darling but the voting bodies don’t want to give this a chance to watch. It’s too bad such a show of this caliber is severely overlooked.

Because it’s *too* gay.

[@melaniesmith2917]

It will be such a HUGE crime if Jacob or Assad are not recognized in the up coming acting award season..Jacob shouldve been recognized for S1.

[@WilliamsPinch]

Assad really deserves an Emmy. He steals scenes even when he’s not speaking.

[@mintychocochips01]

I was shocked Season 1 and Jacob didn't get any recognition. I hope that's rectified this time around.

Politics, there’s always politics that needs to be played for shows to be recognized

Trust, I will show up in front of the Emmy’s and AMC’s offices if this happens again.

[@Rosula_D]

The fact that Assad got into "Armand mode" so flawlessly the first time he shot! The fact that Young Daniel showed such a natural evolution to Old Daniel! This cast has been delivering every single episode!

[@TheKanyinsola]

AMC promote this show more. It’s genius!! You have the best cast possible!

I speak for everyone when I say that we want another season.

[@_notmyproblem_]

Just read a Deadline article that the series has the highest viewership and acquisition on amc plus after the Walking Dead franchise shows this past year. It did that with a relatively unknown one season and no help from exposure of being on Netf***! I think we will be getting the next season renewal very soon!

[@deannah.3643]

I seriously don’t know how this show keeps topping itself week after week! It’s a shame and a crime it isn’t being promoted like the diamond it is. This show deserves all of the praise and all of the awards.

[@ThandoNdlovu-zr3ld]

I know we throw around, they need an Emmy a lot but these actors absolutely deserve an Emmy the writers too this is just brilliant

we’re all fine after this episode

" he's fine, you're fine, we're all *fine* "

[@Elizabeth-ot5rz]

definitely one of the best episodes of any tv show I've ever seen. I could watch it forever and never get tired, it seems.

[@svetlanafox7301]

Действительно так! Я уже 4 раза прокрутила❤

[@keanueraine]

Agreed. This is series is top tier and this episode was an absolute masterclass. Imo season 01 was better than Last of Us and sits with the first couple seasons of BSG. AMC needs to be promoting the Frak out of this if we hope to get a Season 03: The Vampire Lestat.

[@dianaabidin1485]

Omg, Assad in this episode......*chef kiss*

[@naaziaf7239]

“What does he taste like?” “I didn’t ask that” “I’m told you’ve lived a fascinating life” “I never said that” It’s uncanny man, Luke did such a great job getting Eric’s intonation as Daniel

[@melissak8419]

That couples fight scene. Armand and Louis the two brooding vampires throwing burns about their personalities at each other. . .

[@be_hopefulalways]

That was so armand's out of character. I couldn't digest for a moment ngl

[@KleinNatsu]

The first thinks i thougt when i saw the first mins: "Wtf i wanna see how Claudia is getting punished for murdering Lestat". After i finished EP5: "This was the best and most important Episode in the whole season". These actors are phenomenal. If theres a vampire god out there, then please give us a season 3.

[@jello7177]

This is show is a masterpiece, this episode was just insane. None of us are kidding when we say it needs awards, especially Jacob and Assad, the fight was incredible acting

[@CeciLi-g9d]

My Armand finally came out to play 😈

[@crazieanimefan1]

I like that bit of understanding near the end between Louis and Daniel. They sit under the tree, two beings realizing they've been betrayed and changed, while it's a moment of humanity for Louis, Daniel also sees some of himself in the vampire. Plus both being barefoot and reminincing it was coming to grips with what's in store for each, yet what would have sealed it is a handshake as if to say, "Let's try this again." All in all, it was indeed one of the best episodes this season. Also, AMC, thank you for putting the trigger warnings for once, that was a VERY good change from last season when you hesitated.

[@keanueraine]

I think we kinda get an unacknowledged hand shake when Armand enters. They know the truth now and are on the same page with each other. The two needed this nights journey back to the original session. I've read the original several times, and watched the Cruise/Pitt movie at least a dozen. Obviously they are going to hit all the right beats but it will be interesting to see if they go the movie route and have Lestat turn Daniel at the end of the series or in a nod to the books have Armand turn him. They've already strayed quite far from the original Daniel / Armand world wide love affair so it will be interesting to see what comes next.

[@crazieanimefan1]

​@keanueraine I don't think they will unless Daniel can get a younger body. He's got Parkinsons and according to Santiago, the cripple can't be changed. Although my HC is Daniel interviews Lestat after all this. Then again, the fourth book hasn't appeared either...that book is the only route I see Daniel becoming a vampire.

[@XMissGX]

@@crazieanimefan1 We need Daniel interviewing Lestat ASAP.

[@crazieanimefan1]

@@XMissGX YASSS!!! Let's see what the Brat Prince has to say!

[@theshewolfnetwork7875]

I cannot get over just how powerful this episode was. Incredible story telling as always thanks to a strong script that takes care and respects the original story and actors who are without a doubt the next big thing in film, but there was something different about this episode. It hit me with such an emotion I can barely put it into words. The life line part broke me and made me all at once. I will never forget the mark it left with me.

[@oyami4444]

Luke Brandon Field did AMAZING job.

[@MarshaKirton]

Assad is an unbelievably phenomenal actor. He has really turned it on this season. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

[@joycesoares5070]

Assad's performance was breathtaking ❤

[@erick7895]

This episode is second only to the pilot as my favorite. peak queer horror, peak drama, peak theater, peak tv

[@keanueraine]

I agree with you that this ispeaktv. But disagree its "queer horror" yes its same sex love, and yes lestat and louis both enjoyed same sex romances before they were turned. But vampires, especially Anne Rice class vampires will dine on male or female. Blood is blood. The drinking of blood as described by Rice can be quite orgasmic. Its not because the vampire is queer, its because the blood is just that damn good. Even the victim can be in the throes of pleasure right up until they ate drained dead. Anne Rice class vampires also view humans more than just dinner. We and our humanity are beautiful to them in a way only really they have the perspective to see. That beauty attracts them and makes them fall in love with us mere mortals all the time male or female. Lestat goes into great detail on that. So I think its an over simplification to call it "queer horror". Horror, definitely, queer at times sure, but its complicated, its not just from an attraction of the same sex way. Its an attraction to the human condition. And sometimes a dude like Daniel is just too beautifully layered to pass up.

[@bounna1557]

Assad, what a great actor you are. (The entire cast is talented, but I was impressed by the way Assad's eyes can express so much emotion, even with the lenses)

[@absolutetwaddle]

Truly outstanding episode. Assad’s performance is award worthy

[@NoreaNebula]

This will be an Emmy winner!

[@vic-1o7]

genuinely the best show ive seen in years

[@J12680]

Awards aren’t the prize. The true prize is the show being delivered and taken in by those who loved the novels. The show is phenomenal and therefore it speaks for its self.

[@_notmyproblem_]

It isn’t, but it’d sure be nice to get some recognition like previous AMC shows received. It’d help get the word out about this marvelous show.

@@Mesjoukje she's been fantastic so far, though. And will be in the rest of the season, I'm sure.

[@BriarPatchNyra]

This episode is better than some of the most praised movies out there. AMC, how about you tell us why you won't promote this? Why didn't you let Film Updates interview the cast when they have such a huge following? You have a gem on your hands, advertise it! Give us season 3!

[@Kuromi1989-z6b]

I am still not over this episode. This season is what I WANTED in season one. I love this season, so much!❤❤❤❤

[@eggie1978]

The trauma Armand faced as a young man really screwed him up as a vampire.

[@JanaLalewicz]

Honestly its simply heartbreaking how Armands deep insecurity has him feeling he absolutely MUST control the narrative of this relationship for fear he will lose the person he should be able to just trust to love him in return. He is so DEEPLY scarred. Then theres old Louis with someone EQUALLY as controlling as Lestat! Armand just goes about it more covertly. I think about a decade of couples counseling for these 2 is definitely in order🤔

[@Okina-Kev]

The acting in this show is fantastic, better than majority shows out there

[@SophiaWilsontreeelephant]

This show just gets better and better, episode 5 was fire. Bravo Assad, Jacob and Luke. Just to say Armand I am not fine.

[@yaowen9490]

ok, renew season 3 now!!!

[@jMichaels878]

This is honestly the best new show I've seen in years. The acting overall is phenomenal and the writing feels fresh and unpredictable! After completing both seasons, episode 2x5 is still my all-time favorite and it's due to the phenomenal acting by Assad and Jacob. I've become a massive fan of Armand after this episode. Also, AMC needs to advertise this show wayyy more because, as a lifelong vampire-media lover, I am aghast that i somehow had no idea this show even existed until a couple months ago when it popped up on Netflix!

[@EruditeMeTonight]

whole chunks of dialogue in this episode I've memorised. The performance from everyone absolutely phenomenal

[@gpeddino]

Powerful episode. Four amazing performances, specially Assad Zaman's. He really looks as if he carries the weight of centuries on his back.

OHHH did you see 1:37 there is a "Interview with the Vampire" book prop written by DANIEL MOLLOY yesssss I'm excited

[@moneypowerglory.]

First Armand character scene for Assad 🔥🔥🔥

[@melissak8419]

Even young Daniel is telling Louis his story sounds like a he's whining. Then Daniel asks to be made one and Louis then gets mad at him. Everyone is enchanted with Louis' looks and his beauty at first, but then after a while his melancholy and depression set in, and they call him out on it.

[@freespirit12]

This episode made me cry. What Louis said to Armand was heartbreaking.

[@PerfectlyImperfect93]

Boo hoo

[@UncleBalthazar1]

This has to be one of the best casts I've ever seen. It's wild how my favorite character/actor keeps changing episode by episode in this show- they are all incredible. This is probably my favorite episode of the show so far and it made me completely intrigued by Armand's character, and I have to attribute it to Assad's amazing performance. Jacob was absolutely phenomenal as well of course, but Armand/Assad was completely captivating in this one!

[@Kuromi1989-z6b]

Armand was serving BOSS MODE. I love him in the books, and the show made me love him more!!!❤❤❤❤ I dont care if he is messy, Assad's Armand IS EVERYTHING! I now want to read Armand's book, again, after watching this fantastic episode. I disagree with Louis, Armand is such a tragic and interesting character. I love him when I was introduced to him in IWTV. Like, he is so mysterious, looks like a cinnamon, BUT can effin kill you! I love him❤ I stan Armand!❤❤❤❤ Again, Assad is magnificent as Armand. He embodied him perfectly, just like Tom's version of Lestat (yes I said it).

[@maize_0]

I feel like you’re the only other person I’ve seen online who loves Armand other than me. I haven’t read the books but based on the show alone, Armand is so interesting and tragic. Louis’ definition of fun is drugs and abuse like ugh, grow up!

[@Kuromi1989-z6b]

​@@maize_0 let's stan together😊❤ But seriously, I love Armand in the books, and Assad did an amazing job as him, that's why.❤

[@Kuromi1989-z6b]

​I hope you read the books soon! Or listen to it. The books can be intimidating, it's a big book, but trust me, it's worth it.

[@melissak8419]

Yes there is so much more to Armand. Who's to say his mind wasn't messed with back in the day by Santino to forget part of his history to get him to being the leader of the Paris Coven. Assad is playing him very well. Armand is an ancient vampire slowly revealing his gifts/ powers

[@exceptionallydistinctivedi481]

​@@maize_0there's me too. I've always commented that I prefered armand to lestat. I have never read the book but I love the show version so much. Armand is actually the reason I actually started watching the show. I saw an edit of him and it pulled my attention instantly.

I love the whole series. They made a pretty interesting version even if it doesnt match up entirely to the books. Cant wait to see more of this version of Santiago especially!! 😍 Somehow I can see his motivations and despite being a bit of a bully sometimes he seems to definately have a more sympathetic side to him as well. Funnily enough Armand is sort of growing on me even though I still think he can be a bit of a twat sometimes.. definately prefer him over Louis. I definately love the display of powers and social dynamics. The thought put into the details of the entire show. Costumes and set pieces as well provided w obvious care. And how as an audience your made to puzzle and see different perspectives.❤😂 Im also so curious about Marius. Will he resemble Santiago somewhat as much as I expect. Will he at least be Ice blonde or blonde like Lestat. Aghfk.. cant wait. Tho im suspecting we might have to wait at least another season before we get to Marius.
