Loved this show cuz. The acting was great and the set and clothes were amazing! I really loved the adaptation. The chemistry between Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid was just off the charts. I can’t wait for season 2

[@watchwithmeellebee]

Jacob and Sam was crazy good! I loved Claudia so much! She was a standout for sure!

I had a ball over here girl. *The lead DID THE DAMN THANG ON THIS SHOW, JACOB ANDERSON* I am so proud of him like a play cousin blowing-up. ( *UPDATED FULLY SUBSCRIBED ALL NOTIFICATIONS BAAAAAEBY* )

[@allsmiles1971]

Enjoyed this series. Cannot wait for Season 2. I think Louis is in another messed up relationship with Armand. Armand is older than Lestat. Every time Louis drinks his blood. The more control Armand has on him

[@watchwithmeellebee]

Louis is DEFINITELY in another toxic relationship. Poor thing. Ohhhhhhhhhh it's a blood connection?! I can see that!

[@84trombone]

This show totally came out of left field and I didn't give a chance at first but like you said, as soon as you start watching the first episode, something in me is saying "This next episode needs to drop ASAP" lololol. I'm like you, "Where is Claudia and did Rashid aka Omar know Lestat's maker?" Can't wait for the next season for sho.

[@watchwithmeellebee]

I need to know where EVERYBODY is. Lestat, and Claudia, and I need tea on Armand! I wonder if they'll give him a fresh storyline too...

Thanks good cousin! That made my heart smile!

[@sassk7443]

GIRL, I choked on my wine when you started singing "When I laid eyes on you" LMFAO!!! I am not a vampire person but this show was IT!!I loved the show and started rewatching cause I missed things you mentioned. I am so glad it is free for Sling users. I hope its free next season cause I can't pay for another subscription service. I am so confused about Armand and how they Louis said he has always been his soulmate. Wait, WHAT??? Yes, Where is Claudia???? Me thinks Armand took her out, like he did in the movie. OR, that vampire she met at school came back for her.

[@watchwithmeellebee]

But did you see how the song just popped in my head and flew out of my mouth. It was out of my control! 😂 Armand confused the hell out of me. Because if he's ancient, and revered, why is he pretending to be a servant? I need for the to rewrite Claudia's storyline because she too good of a character to kill off. Claudia was about that action!

[@Firsttime61]

Gurl- loved your reactions to the show! Hope you do S2 - I’ll be right with you if you do!

[@tdali8347]

About 30 seconds into your video, I gasped. Thanks to the talented Jacob Anderson, I recognized your accent as New Orleans right away. Just as impressive was Sam Reid learning French so he wouldn't have just the accent, but the language too. Loved your season recap and hope you do every episode next season. You're a whole lotta fun!

[@watchwithmeellebee]

Thanks for watching! This was such a fun show with great performances all around! 😃

[@papl20]

I read the first 3 books and was totally dismissive of the show and the it came out and rocked me to my core. The complexities of it all! I think what I'm loving the most about the newcomers that know nothing of the story is how much most people are hating on my boy Lestat. Because that's exactly what happened to most of us with the first book! The most important thing to remember is that Louis is an unreliable narrator, he has a purpose to be doing this interview AGAIN.

[@watchwithmeellebee]

He’s SOOO unreliable!! I’m so excited for season 2! Although it will probably be in 2025 bc of the strike. 😩

[@papl20]

AMC made an interim deal with sag and wga only for iwtv and the walking dead spin off's, so now the shows in the deal can continue production and filming.

Found your page after Max finally put it on the show #MaxGang! Loved the review and hope you get an influx of new views! I just don’t understand why they would need to hide that Armond was Louis’ lover.. maybe because Louis wasn’t going to tell that part of the story bc Armond is bad? Idk I know you get this all the time, but I’d be remiss to tell you that I love your accent. ❤

[@papl20]

I seriously don't think that he did. At least in the books Lestat had nothing to do with Paul, he was just sick. But this show can go in whatever way they want to.

[@ButchieTuffington]

Love this recap!! Especially since you’re from New Orleans, it adds such fun “inside info”. You should try to be an extra for the next season! Re: Chemistry Tests- you pretty much make eyes at your partner and flirt and make sure they/the camera believe you’re into each other. Once I was having MOMENTS with my partner and I look over at the director and he was on his phone the whole time.

[@actaccordingly6420]

I enjoyed this review. I am just now seeing the show in late 2023. The show is impressive and I'm looking forward to season 2! I was glad to hear this review point out the irony that it was Luis' family that enslaved people. Jacob Anderson really nailed both time periods...I was laughing because some of the way he spoke sounded like my Grandfather who was born in the 30s. Sam Reid is phenomenal...to come across as a romantic figure and a sociopath. Paul killed me with she will never be your scientific mother. Just a great watch with an unpredicted ending.

[@watchwithmeellebee]

Agreed, I'm so pumped for season 2, because where is Lestat! 😂

[@meech3727]

Kirsten was so good! She was able to play an adult character at such a young age. Loved Bailey’s Claudia because she’s forever a teenager and watching Louis and Lestat raise a teen with all those hormones is interesting to watch.

[@QueenInCursive]

@@watchwithmeellebee Listen, OG Claudia may have been half the size, and age of this New Claudia, but she was T W I C E the B E A S T! She would have already poisoned and cremated Lestat, gotten Louis into therapy, started her own charity for battered/abused vampire spouses everywhere…..A L L by episode 4! You have to remember, OG Claudia rolled up on Lestat with scissors, sliced him on both cheeks and dared him to say something about it. #ColdBlooded

[@QueenInCursive]

@@meech3727 I agree with you. It was definitely a different take, considering they made her a teenager in this one. I just wanted her to be more gangsta with it, like OG Claudia. Kirsten Dunst played the H E L L out of that role!

I absolutely adore your commentary. You make me laugh and laugh... and I didn't even watch this show. Had no interest in it. But this commentary. Sign me up. Edit: I read these books like 20 years ago and it seems like the producers and writers took a million liberties with the material. Like they mixed Rice's vampire series with her erotica novels. From what I can remember the vampires couldn't have sex. Lestat had to return to human form (I don't remember how that worked in the books) to enjoy food and sex again.

[@watchwithmeellebee]

Thanks Leonnie13! I appreciate you checking out my video! I watched the behind the scenes for the show and the writers and director spoke about how they wanted a fresh new take on the novel that was different from the show but still staying true to the material. I think they struck a nice balance from what I can tell

[@amblove3]

Excellent recap. Now I need to go watch the season again, thanks Elle. I have the same questions: Where is Lestat and Camille? Is Arman older than Loiue When you become out into "When I First Saw You," I was deadt. One of the only LPs I've owned. That, The Wiz and Purple Rain
