I have said this a million times, and I will continue to say it a million times more: *Interview with the Vampire* is the best TV show right now, and it deserves much more recognition! Episode 5 is a masterpiece

[@RAA_50]

💯 this show has to be the best on TV. They better get some type of award!!!

[@pebsa31]

I have already watched this episode twice. The acting is incredible, award worthy across the board. Assad Zaman as Armand killed it this episode. His manipulative, insecure, heartbroken self is probably dull. But I think that’s because he tries to be so agreeable, to not rock the boat for fear of losing Louie that he isn’t a challenge like Lestat…Until he is an absolute terror. But Louie is cruel and so self important, that would be boring too.

[@mysweetperspective]

If they are nominated this upcoming award season something is really wrong. I totally agree.. Louis is boring too, that why he’s always roping others into the mix.

[@Olivia-uo3kd]

Same here, and I thoroughly enjoyed it both times.😊😊

[@mauralynum79]

Louis is definitely one of those parents that always chooses a man over their child, which is why he feels so much guilt over what happened to Claudia.

[@glittermethis]

Louis is catholic, he’s gonna feel guilt over everything 🤭

[@keyonajones1089]

I have to disagree with you on this because Louis definitely got beat down by lastat for protecting Claudia like a mama bear. Louis can’t help who he love because he is a helpless romantic but he definitely protected Claudia who eventually chose the coven over Louis.

[@kev121]

Louis’ relationship with Lestat was a toxic dumpster fire. Louis’ relationship with Armand was a toxic dumpster fire. Louis’ relationship with Claudia was a toxic dumpster fire. Same with his relationship with his family. What you permit, you promote. The common denominator is Louis. Like Daniel said in season one, still Louis the pimp, paying someone to sit in a room and talk to him. This show is everything!

[@Dr.Beetlejuice110]

FACTS!! I loved how Louie called Armand out for being boring. Such a modern way of talking down to someone. I love the parallel...it's always the toxic, unstable messed up people calling someone else out for being different than them. Both of them are fucked up but it's clear that Louie is on another level than Armand. But I'm glad we are seeing how fucked up Armand is too.

[@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396]

My relationship with this show is a dumpster fire! I thought the “boring” argument was bad writing. :/

[@kadeemb1501]

100% FACTS!

[@maiafay]

@@wildmarjoramdieselpunk6396 the boring argument actually is valid. Armand was too loving to Louis. Louis loves the chase. The friction. The constant warring in a sense of his and Lestat’s relationship. Armand does not give him any of those things. He is too agreeable. To willing to give in to whatever Louis wants. Like those 128 dudes. There shouldn’t have been one damn guy at all, but Armand never pushed back. He’s a pushover when it comes to Louis.

I agree toxicity all around.. and yes this show is giving us so much!

[@ravenkushner]

Episode 5 was Everything. But I think I'm going to differ from most people with my opinion. I disagree that Louis didn't love Claudia, or not that much. When the sh*t got real and he thought Armand was going to kill him in that tunnel, he pleaded Claudia's case, not his own. He accepted Death for himself, but not for her. If that isn't love, then I don't know what is. Louis problem is that he only sees what he wants to see. That's what allows him to be manipulated. Then he reaches the end of his rope and loses his temper. He was delusional that Lestat, who just killed a priest, was going to transform his life. He was delusional that he could run a business like normal as a vampire in a racist city. He was delusional thinking that bringing a child into a crumbling relationship was a good idea. Delusional that revealing himself to a drug addict was a good idea. Delusional that he could just hang out with artists and be a photographer of all things when light is the most important part of photography. When the truth is right in front of him, he denies it if he can't bear to believe it. "Lestat doesn't love her" (Antoinette. He didn't, of course, but he loved her enough to say it and keep her around). "No, that doesn't sound like him" (Armand threatening Claudia). Armand is an enabler because he is exploiting that delusional quality, treating Louis like he's a fragile thing that he needs to lie to and coddle (putting those other artist's photos in his portfolio). I don't know why Louis always accuses people of being boring when he's mad. Neither one of his psycho boyfriends is boring. Daniel (present-day) is actually the best thing that ever happened to him because he won't allow him to be delusional.

[@alanispratt7431]

Love this take

[@kierrabanks5024]

He always in denial

[@Jojo-iz9bi]

Ok am I the only one who think that being in a relationship with Louis must be so tiring. From Lestat to Armand, they had to repress their own feelings and want for Louis’. Idk I guess talking because I was in a relationship with someone like that.

[@kadeemb1501]

It is VERY tiring!

[@2ndround415]

I feel like the vampires are stuck in the tragedy of who they were when they were ppl. Louis is always floundering, Armond is always being left and abused. Claudia always needed someone to truly care for her and Lastat was a whole bunch of things. Lol. I think the value of Malloy to Louis was that back in the 70’s and in present day conversations are Malloy’s points of views allowed Louis to exit his monotonous thinking. Armond learned that after listening to the tapes and got jealous because he never or couldn’t be that.

[@kadeemb1501]

Wow, this is a very interesting and truthful perspective, particularly when you said "I feel like the vampires are stuck in the tragedy of who they were when they were ppl. Louis is always floundering, Armond is always being left and abused. "

[@tsheporabekane4172]

So are you saying that Armand agreed to the Daniel interview because he knows it's what makes Louie happy? And that's why they always want Daniel around, it connects all of them to their humanity, that they once had...🤔

Who knew two old ass vampires could be so pretty!!! 😂 throwing shade harder than an episode of RHOA. lol

[@mysweetperspective]

girllll lol

[@SlaySheena]

I really do believe the reason Louis feels Armand is boring is because he gets his mind wiped every time they get into a fight big enough to break them up. If all the hills and valleys of their relationship are sanded away every day can only be bland.

As Claudia said, love makes Louis stupid. He cares about her, but his need to be loved and self-wallow overpowers his love for her. When the pin drops, Louis wants to be picked, and when he finds that someone, he’ll go to them like a moth to a flame

[@actaccordingly6420]

This episode has me so hyped! @TelevisionAcad please get this show, Rolin Jones, Armand and all his love triangles on the ballot for the Emmys. This is fantastic tv Louis is not making sense to me. I'm with Daniel, Louis needs some help. Paul, Lestat, Claudia and Armand have loved this man with their whole selves. Lestat and Armand, in their separate ways are desperate for Louis companionship amd Louis is like, "I'd rather die." Louis torments his lovers pining over Claudia when Lestat was fully present and then pining over Lestat when Armand was fully present, then choosing Armand over Claudia when Claudia was fully present. The fight between Louis and Armand is brilliantly acted, gut wrenching as they take all the shots at one another. Chefs kiss.

[@lenorawilson2326]

Yesss.. and Louis was big mad.. I can’t wait to see the fallout in the next episode.

[@sweetnovember7925]

@mysweetperspective me too I think the wrath of Louie is coming and it will be due to whatever he did to Claudia since they keep referencing how she loved him differently from Lestat and Armond

[@Buzz0Killington]

Armand strolling in reminded me of that meme with Ms. Juicy. “Hey y’all” 😅

[@mysweetperspective]

😂😂😂

[@SAVINMEEKZ]

I wonder which way the show is going to go with Claudia's death. Did Armand let the group finally kill her or did he try the infamous surgery? My main prediction is that Louis' rage with Armand after finding out what happened to Claudia caused the fire. Armand erased those memories cause Louis wont love him anymore

[@YouMe-ru6wi]

I watched episode 5 on AMC+ right when it dropped at like 3 AM EST I'm obsessed/hooked LOL. And OMG completely spellbinding this trip back to the 1970's finally seeing that original interview was enthralling. I say it all the time this is one of the best shows on TV, and it's criminally underrated I hope that changes. And hello Emmy's recognition, and awards long overdue now please!!! I swear if this show get's snubbed again next award season it will be such bullsh!t, I hope at the very least that it get's nominated in all the categories. Oh poor baby Louis trying to commit suicide by going into the Sun, and afterwards he looked so horrifying, mad props to the special effects team. And Lestat saying he loved Louis telepathically, and Armand of course not telling Louis😭😢Lestat was so concerned for Louis once he found out something was wrong. I also really loved that by the end of the episode it's as if both Louis and Daniel have become so much closer not only in deeper understanding of each other, but also in what Armand has done to both of them. Maybe they will form a united front against Armand going forward. That look on Louis face at the end like he was screaming inside. And we haven't even got to the whole climax of the Paris and Claudia situation yet. Oh only 3 more episodes left I can't wait!!! thanks for the awesome review and video cheers.

Thank you and yes they better get some recognition next awards season

Louis ate Armand uppppp in the 70s. But he told no lies tbh Armand is too consumed with being controlling and conniving to even relax & live in the moment. The stick is permanently up his butt. Lestât gave Louis that fire, passion & excitement. Armand not telling Louis that Lestât said he loved him was some sucker azzz hating sh* 😂😂

[@RAA_50]

Right.......😂😅

[@glittermethis]

Listen, I don’t even care that that it didn’t happen this way in the book. I want a whole show about Louis and Armand from the 70’s. I need more coked out Louis on junkie blood. I need to see these “fuck & find me” adventures that Armand spoke about.

[@mysweetperspective]

Yes he did !!

[@whatadollslife]

Armand likes to throw rocks and hide his hands .......he is going to be evil around the Claudia issue ...after he insinuated that Claudia is too young and inept to be a major vamp and these grown men are the only ones who can handle vampire personalities and here they are playing deadly boyfriend games for 100 years....................................I want season 3 to be Queen of the Damned Akasha to come and bi_ch slap Armand out of her path hahahaha.......it was sad that they used Louis out on the roof somewhat like his brother Paul as an image of destruction ......................now I wonder what else Armand did to Nicolas that we don't know about

I'm partial to Louis though the guy in the bar told Daniel that he should fear Louis over Armand. Louis whole demeanor and dialect has changed from the past to the present. I guess they are old, old for being vamps and have changed. The Armand Jedi mind trick is wicked. Louis did not look happy at the end of this episode

I hope the real Louis comes out in Episode 6 🙏🏼🫶🏼🤔

[@Dr.Beetlejuice110]

They have teased Lestat so much this season im really am hooing lestat comes in the final episode of the season for the armand confrontation. Aint no way Louie is gonna win on his own.

[@melissak8419]

Yes. . . this show keeps getting better and better. Armand is the abused animal lashing out at those he tries to throw his love towards throughout his years and not getting the same love back all the while he has these great ancient vampire powers. That fight about how Louis is always complaining and then talking about Lestat, Lestat, Claudia, Lestat, Lestat and not Armand. I was wondering if we get to see real Lestat show up at the end of the interview, like he did in the movie, but guess we will have to wait, probably until the last episode this season. After that mind gift we know Lestat is alive at that point in the 70's, but Armand does not tell Louis that Lestat loves him.

[@RAA_50]

He was doing the New Efition version of Mr. Telephone Man.... to Louis 😂🤣😅

I have seen the movie so many times, I love how they are pulling but creating something different.

Armand is the Father of Lies.

@@vizeasI am a Lestat apologist, but Armand is my 3rd favorite vampire. Louis is my 2nd even though he’s going through his crazy chic era.

[@mysweetperspective]

Not yet, not fully but I believe he will very soon

[@drdawnonthereal]

I agree not yet. I think that removing those memories was part of the Jedi vamp mind trick Armand did on him.. but those memories are coming

[@maiafay]

I came from another reaction/review video that I had to stop watching because they despised Daniel to the point of being irrational. I was like, the poor guy just was there to have fun and they threw him around like a rag doll, messed with his head, and then dumped him in a drug den. The reason he is poking the bear sometimes by being rude and insensitive to Louis and Armand is because they deserve it. He might not have remembered at the time, but I’m sure his subconscious did. You can’t just do whatever you want to someone because you’re hot and sexy and a vampire. I mean I love both characters and simp for Lestat but yes, lestat wasn’t some innocent snowflake. There are consequences to actions. Bottom line: Daniel isn’t a jerk for checking Louis or Armand. It’s deserved. Especially after this episode.

[@mysweetperspective]

Older Daniel tickles me .. he add a sincerity and rawness that both Louis and Armand need

[@Pandaland41]

Yeah, when I watched season 1 for the first time, I couldn't stand Daniel. I watched season 1 a few more times, and each time Daniel grew on me and I found myself cheering him on and laughing at his interactions with Louis and Armand. I was prepared for Daniel to be on them this season, and he has not failed. 😆

[@Gabreya]

@maiafay I totally agree. I’m probably one of the few people who actually likes Daniel. I felt sorry for him in this episode.

[@Gabreya]

@@Pandaland41 For some reason, I’ve always liked Daniel. He’s a likable and charming curmudgeon.

[@Pandaland41]

​@Gabreya I think it's because I went in on my first watch of season 1 already rooting for Louis and Lestat and they couldn't do any wrong in my eyes lol. Every time I watched the season again, I saw something different and eventually moved, not necessarily to Daniel's side, but it made me more understanding of his perspective which made me enjoy his interactions with Louis.

[@FinalFantxsy]

When Armand tortured Daniel it gave me dahmer vibes

[@Gabreya]

This episode was AMAZING, DEVASTATING, AND INTENSE. It’s definitely one of my most favorite episodes in the show. The weird thing is it’s both hard to watch, but at the same time, I can’t stop watching it. The looks on both Louis and Daniel’s faces when they heard the tapes in their entirety and were able to dig deep into their minds to get back their memories of what really happened during and after the first interview say a whole lot. Especially them realizing what Armand had done to them during that time. It was basically, “Good Lord. That really happened?” I just can’t get over how Armand had allowed both Louis and Daniel to physically suffer for days all because he was in his feelings after his argument with Louis and he was extremely jealous of Daniel. Not to mention, Louis, even while in horrible pain due to his attempt at taking his own life and in anguish over losing Claudia, was still a bit compassionate towards Daniel and was pleading with Armand to let Daniel go and not to hurt him (Daniel). Of course, Armand didn’t listen and didn’t care. And just the thought of making someone virtually be trapped in their own body by restraining them and putting them in physically uncomfortable and painful positions with telekinesis for days on end is HORRIBLE. Things like this show how CRUEL AND DEVIOUS Armand truly is, and that is saying a lot when compared to Lestat. Even though they are no innocent angels, I wanted to hug both Louis and Daniel in this episode. I can’t imagine the pain and suffering they went through only for that to be erased from their minds until so many years later. I love the ending scene. It showed Louis and Daniel trying to come to terms with what happened while also showing how comfortable they’ve become with one another. And it also showed how they are now onto Armand when they were staring him down after he came back. I love the pissed off look that Louis gave to Armand.

[@ShuShu4You]

I want to know what ultimately happened to Claudia! I hope they finally reveal that in the next episode. I watched the old Interview with a Vampire movie and its so cool to see how much they have changed things up. I highly recommend watching the old one from 1994 starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Kirsten Dunst. Im also following a lady who read the books and she gives some great comparisons between them all! :)

[@0l._.l0895]

This episode can finally not let people ignore how everyone in this is terrible in some way (Except Claudia because I love her too much). Louis has never been a good person but Armand isn't either. We all knew that Lestat was horrible, Louis has been selfish and ignorant to his own power and habits for who knows how long and Armand is manipulative and yes in some way boring. Not boring in the way of character, he is absolutely fascinating and probably knows some of the craziest things considering he has been alive for 500 years but knowing his past he has never gotten a chance to just live for himself rather than living for the coven or doing what he was told before he was a vampire.

The bigger question is did Armand know that Lestat was alive but allowed Claudia to be killed anyway? Indeed Armand wants full control over Louis. Even when Louis fakes being in love, most of us see Armand knows it isn't real. In fact, I don't think Armand loves Louis at all. I think he's terrifed of being alone. Truth is, if you're with someone who doesn't love you aren't you pretty much alone anyway. Sure, you can fart in an empty room, the space may warm a little, but it doesn't last. The room is still empty.

We have to remember Lestat is an abuser too, even worse than Armand. He almost killed Louie and Claudia in season 1...😏😅

[@glittermethis]

Lestat, Claudia, Armand, Louis, Santino, or Marius are not abusers. These vampires are categorized under their own animal kingdom if you will. We can judge them by human standards, but we shouldn’t judge them anymore than we would judge how a pride of lions interact with each other. Vampires and lions are violent apex predators. We have to remember that too.

[@tsheporabekane4172]

@@glittermethis But Vampires are not animals, they express empathy and enjoy art and music, so they are capable of reason, so they must be judged according to our standards since they share the psychological and even superior capability than that of humans. If they are superior, we hold them at that standard. Lestat knows the difference between abuse and kindness.

[@glittermethis]

@@tsheporabekane4172 They are no longer human. It doesn’t matter how intelligent they are, they live by a whole other set of principles as vampires. Vampires are paranormal beings. Again, you would not judge a pride of lions based on human standards.

[@tsheporabekane4172]

@@glittermethis They share 99% of human traits; they feel 'love' because they say it to each other every episode, they have morality because you're not allowed to kill another vampire by their laws. Love, morality et cetera are also human characteristics, so we can judge them when they do bad things, they also judge one another because of this, and they are jealous too. So why can't we judge them when watching the show?

[@glittermethis]

@@tsheporabekane4172 Of course you can judge them by human standards. I didn’t mean to imply that you couldn’t. We’re human so it’s natural ti view them through a human lens. I just wouldn’t judge them from one because they live by a different set of standards. Also, the rule about killing is not to kill or attempt to kill your maker. Coven leaders have the discretion to kill members of their (with or without reason) and any rogue vampires in their territory. Humans don’t operate that way. All these vampires have been physically, verbally and mentally violent with each other at some point.

i think you may be in love with louis and lestat LOL but lestat is abusive. basically he acts like how domestic abuser behaves. armand is similar but without the beating. he's more into mental manipulation to get louis to be under his thumb. louis needs a good therapist and stand up on his own.

[@ladytamara1503]

Yeah, people all of a sudden forget about season 1 Lestat, because he’s now figment of Louie’s imagination, a ghost can’t cause no damage. But the real Lestat did. And really this whole chaos is being enabled by Louie, he’s not innocent. He’s the center of the whirlwind.

@@ladytamara1503 louie is like that someone you may know who brings trouble and drama wherever they go. but then they lament and cry about how they feel persecuted. but when you look closely, they triggered lots of dramas around them. i think he's not a bad person, but he's so effed in the head from 1. how he was seen as lower than the white guys in control back in his time, despite his wealth and accomplishments - all can be taken away just like that. 2. lestat just ripping him from his life and throw him into this new way of life, on top of that, making sure louie is constantly leaning on him for support, with his constant mind games. 3. lestat being very abusive and basically reinforcing this "im weak and tormented and powerless" mentality that plagues him till modern day.

I know exactly who Lestat is and that’s why I appreciate him lol. I’ll never forget him dropping Louis from outer space and would never want to see them back together. I just like his character.. Armand on the other hand we still don’t know who he truly is. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@ladytamara1503]

@@mysweetperspective what was likeable about Lestat? Jeez, this world really loves toxic love. No wonder the Tv series are full of them. They are just feeding people what to they truly desire - effed up love. It’s unhealthy

[@daddad4589]

Can yall explain to me whether Lestat is actually alive or dead? Was he living in Louis' head as a memory until his "break-up" or is he elsewhere in the world unable to locate Louis? Is Aramand tapping into Lestat's deceased spirit or was he in walkie-talkie communication with Lestat elsewhere in the world? Isn't Lestat supposedly an immortal vampire?

[@mysweetperspective]

Lestat is yet alive.. at least according to canon. The Lestat we saw in Louis’s mind was purely his own creation.

[@brusselspr9ut]

This episode gave me a lot of sympathy for Armand tbh! Like before it was just hard to connect with him outside of his relationship w/ the theatre and Louis, two things he seems to be holding onto so hard bc he doesn't know who he is w/o them, and I kinda just appreciated watching him BREAK in this episode cause lowkey!?! He deserves it!! He deserves to be the big bad scary Armand that has been tapered down and out of him by abusers and loved ones alike! If baby girl needs to mentally torture young Daniel then hey who am I to judge? 😶

[@meleh_m]

Why does Louis choose these men with so much power over him and end up being their slaves? Like girl it’s year 2000 you don’t need to be owned and mastered.

[@valeriamontoya1403]

i dont like Armand at all he is a sad pathetic version of Lestat he is a dark soul, I would love to see more of his true darkness

[@susannayelverton2519]

Thank you and I think Armand was thinking with his brain and heart. He did the right thing by erasing the memories. Things would have went bad.

[@mysweetperspective]

I know I just want to get to the truth!

[@rosesbud]

I think Armand is really after Daniel and wants Lastat to come get Louie. I think Armand wants the interview to come out. I fell bad for Armand, he just wants love and is TIRED. I believe Louis asked to erase those memories. Armand was wrong when he was on the line with Lastat and was like Aht Aht, what's love got to do with it. 😂

[@ladytamara1503]

I really hope so

Crypto? Are you sure about that crypto stuff? 😮

Armand is as boring as a soft beige pillow. But the show is also a lumpy grey pillow.
