- *Interview with the Vampire Episode 1 Reaction | AMC Review*
Hey everyone! Welcome back to my channel! I’m so excited to finally be watching Episode 1 of Interview with the Vampire on AMC. This episode was full of suspense, drama, and amazing performances! I loved seeing how the iconic characters Louis and Lestat come to life. Can’t wait to watch the rest of the season!

Changing Louis into a black man was such a good choice. It adds so much to the character and the relationships and make for a much interesting story. And Jacob Anderson is just phenomenal in that role. That confession scene is just insane acting.
Jacob Anderson deserved an Emmy for that scene alone. But in this show, ALL of the actors are good!
I think it’s hilarious that you noted Paul’s last words were “I ate too much checkered cake” 😂😂 I never thought of it like that.
Nah cause I was like how can bro go out like that? 😭
@@LibraLens it was his last confession, since he's a Catholic.
No spoilers guys! Let her feelings about each character evolved as ours did.
i saw once an interview of sam reid (the guy who plays lestat) where he explained that him doing ALL THAT in the church scene, right in front of louis it's really meaningful to lestat because he's showing his true nature to this man hes so entranced with and louis just accepts it, willingly takes lestat even after such an awful display .. kinda crazy tbh real romance
32:50 tbf killing the priests is a moment of *liberation* in the show because it represents Lestat destroying what the church represents for Louis (not saying it will fully free Louis of that Catholic guilt and all the ways it harms him). It’s definitely a gory scene and I understand feeling bad for the priests as individuals, but *thematically* at least within the narrative they deserve that death Lestat brings (Miss Lily did NOT though! I wish she was alive)
Really enjoyed your review. I'm always jealous of people watching the show for the first time. Please be careful of spoilers in the comments. We are a very enthusiastic fandom, and I've seen other reviewers get spoiled on major plot points, which is always a shame.
37:56 - Anne Rice did not originally write Louis as a black character, that's true; but she did once write a different/unrelated Historical Fiction novel about black and mixed-race characters in New Orleans, and she was involved in the creation of the tv series as an executive producer right up until her passing pretty much right when filming was beginning to start(so most the writing and casting and such was likely already done). I suspect she was most likely more okay with many of the alterations to the characters and the story in this tv series than some people seem to believe. She once said in a Q&A livestream on her FB page[ shortly before the tv series officially entered into production] that the Interview movie had taught her that any man with a beautiful face could portray Louis(as well as that they would almost definitely not be using any actual child actors/actresses for any new/future tv series adaptation), so the only character that she was personally really invested in absolutely needing to physically match the character descriptions from the books was Lestat, just as long as the essence of the other characters from the books were there. 😊💖 In the books, Louis was a plantation owner with slaves in the late 1700s, while the interview itself was set as occurring during the[ at the time of the first book's publication] then-contemporary 1970s; in the tv series, he's a pimp in the early 1900s whose forefathers formerly had a sugar plantation, and the interview happens during the now-contempary 2020s(both Louis!character versions benefit in morally suspect ways from profiteering off the labors of their fellow humans, and then become vampires who wrestle with their own humanity and/or possible lacking of humanity, although in the interest of avoiding spoilers that is oversimplifying it quite a bit)-I think the essence of the character is, indeed, still there.🙂
21:30 Louie has the urges of a homosexual man, just years and years of repression needed him for Lily to be there. Lestat being able to get into people's heads (how he talks to people mentally) knew that, hence Lily being a pawn here ❤❤
I love that more people are finding this show, get ready for a wiod ride. My first time to your channel looking forward to watching your reaction.
I feel like you're looking at Us more than you're looking at the monitor 😂😂😂😂 anyways i love that you're reacting to my favourite TV show and i'll be with you until the end❤
Welcome to the fandom!! I'm so excited to see more of your reactions to this gorgeous show, it just gets better and better 💜💜💜
Thank you for the support!! The pilot was so good, I can’t wait! 💜💜
25:17 yes! There were body doubles for the dance scene on set that day but the actors were able to learn the dance well enough that they didn't need to use the body doubles... They also learned the dance over zoom so that makes it even more amazing that they were able to dance it well enough! It's probably why they had so many wide shots in that scene because you very often need to have really close-up shots when an actor doesn't actually know how to do the skill the character is portraying.
9:47 you are absolutely right! Jumping a broom during a wedding is really popular in the south of the US... Specifically within the black community, from what people have told me because it was an old slavery marriage tradition... So essentially in this scene it seems like Paul is equating this old slavery tradition during marriage ...to like witchcraft and magic and voodoo, basically. He's being ignorant and judgmental towards the practice. And as others have mentioned in this comment section there is kind of like a spin-off book series about the Mayfair house and it IS about witches so there absolutely is some truth to the rumors that are circulating within the community that witches live in the Mayfair house
There's a Mayfair Witches tv series, too-and some Mayfair Witches / Vampire Chronicles crossover books, so who knows the tv series may eventually crossover too at some points or another as well.😊
@@jaginaiaelectrizs6341 yeah, I specifically just mentioned the book series and not the show because I did NOT like the show. 🤷♀️ And I don't expect people who watch Interview with the Vampire to immediately want to watch the Mayfair Witches show... It is NOT on the same level of quality, in my opinion. But yeah, there potentially might be a crossover in the future... But I do know that Rolin as a showrunner does have some exclusivity rights to the characters that they are adapting in IWTV... So the main characters probably will not show up in a crossover... But maybe a side character that doesn't show up a huge amount will show up on both shows.... I do understand in the book series Lestat does make an appearance but I'm not sure if legally they will be able to do that due to how the contracts work between the two shows... Even though they are hosted on the same network there are exclusivity contracts in effect... There most likely will not be any crossovers in Talamasca either.. definitely not in the first season, anyway.... If they do decide to do that in the future there will probably HAVE to be contract renegotiations. Because as of right now, as far as I understand, Lestat would NOT be able to make a crossover appearance even if it is a really short one like it is in the Mayfair books.
So yeah the level of crossover that potentially COULD happen in the future ...isn't really reason enough to make someone watch a show that really isn't as good as IWTV. Like the crossover will last a couple of minutes, if that, ya know? I don't think that's worth watching seasons and seasons of a show to reach THAT tiny crossover... But that's just my opinion.
@@AnxietyRat I haven't read the Mayfair books, myself, so I didn't personally have any trouble enjoying the Mayfair tv series-but I do agree that the production and story quality or such is unfortunately not quite as good with the Mayfair tv series as for the IWTV tv series(although I really appreciate the main three actress and actors and their performances), and I agree that there's no expectation for people who like Interview to always want to just immediately jump over into Mayfair too(I mean, that would be hypocritical of me to expect, since I didn't even do that myself with the books), but I just thought it was fair to make people aware of it in general so they could make their own decisions about that for themselves if they wanted to or not. Personally, I would say that the Mayfair tv series is good(although certainly much less well-received as an adaptation specifically), but the Interview tv series is absolutely top-tier phenomenal and arguably potentially even one of the greatest tv series of all-time to this date AS WELL AS being an exceptional adaptation + update of the original book's story, so it's almost not really even fair to compare them at all. But there are, like, three whole entire novels that crossover Mayfair Witches with the Vampire Chronicles; so they could potentially do 3 to 6 whole crossover tv series seasons, hypothetically....I'm not sure I'd call that only a brief appearance? But, yeah, that's quite a ways off yet-only if the tv series makes it like all the way past book 6 or so. I wasn't trying to say that anyone should definitely watch the Mayfair tv series just for that potentiality alone, I was just mentioning that the possibility is somewhat there even though as of yet it remains to be seen whether or not that will ever actually be developed upon in the tv series or not.
@@jaginaiaelectrizs6341 if I recall correctly Lestat, exclusively, makes a very very brief appearance... I haven't read all of the Mayfair books... But that is what those who HAVE fully read the series have told me... so I don't know exactly which other characters make crossover appearances tbh... But yeah I do know that Lestats' is pretty brief.
@@AnxietyRat I don't know about in the original Mayfair trilogy itself.
I just know there are three entire crossover novels separate from the original Mayfair trilogy, so IF you count the crossover books then there are 6 Mayfair books (the original trilogy + 3 crossovers, but those 3 crossovers are typically considered a direct part of the Vampire Chronicles book series, while the Mayfair trilogy is more distinctly separate and its own thing although at least two pretty significant characters from the Mayfair trilogy do make appearances in at very least the 2nd and 3rd crossover novels; Lestat appears to some varying extent or another in all three crossovers and Lestat even narrates at very least the 3rd crossover, I believe it was[ a pretty important character who hasn't been introduced yet as of IWTV Season 2 but who may theoretically appear in Season 3 or 4 or 5 depending on exactly how they adapt the story or not since I think he first appears in Book 3 or possibly at the very end of Book 2] David - NOT to be confused with Daniel the interviewer from Season 1 & 2 - who narrates the 1st crossover and Louis also appears to some extent within that 1st crossover as well, while a new/crossover-original character narrates the 2nd crossover and has some interactions with Lestat as well) but AMC has the screenrights to _ALL_ of the Vampire Chronicles books(including the crossovers and the 'New Tales of the Vampire Chronicles' spin-offs) as well as the Mayfair trilogy. Anne Rice specifically mentioned the crossover potential herself when first announcing having signed deals to let AMC do the adaptations of both Interview and Mayfair, she said the potential for crossovers specifically was a part of what excited her about signing the deal to let AMC have the rights.
The IWTV tv series producer having exclusivity rights probably just means that if they want to do the crossovers, they would have to hire him to work on or oversee those crossovers specifically; IF he would agree to do it, they could probably hire him to work on either only one or a few episodes or to work on a whole season, depending on exactly what all they did or didn't want to do; the exclusivity deal is probably more about maintaining character/story continuity than about limiting potential crossover possibilities. Whether or not there would be any crossovers with the Talamasca tv series also probably depends on what exactly they are going to do with the Talamasca series or not, and exactly when in time it is going to be set as happening versus in relation to when events are depicted as happening in the IWTV and Mayfair tv shows.
It's probably more likely that we could end up seeing Mayfair characters appear on Interview than that we would see characters from Interview appear on Mayfair. That would be relatively consistent with the storylines throughout the crossover novels, I think.
There are several Talamasca members who appear throughout the Vampire Chronicles novels, at least one of whom is pretty important, but it's major spoilers to get into this in any more detail than just that(and I don't know how this channel's reactor feels about spoilers or not themself, so I will trend toward avoiding getting into them myself). Depending on exactly what they do or not with the Talamasca tv series, it could be difficult to pull off without having Talamasca series characters who will also end up appearing on Interview sooner or later, but again I suspect it is probably more likely that a character might first appear in the Talamasca series and then appear on Interview later on than that characters who would appear first on Interview would then have any cameos on the Talamasca series. But that's just my own best guess.
I have no guess what the Mayfair/Talamasca series crossover potentials might or might not be, though.
Omg this channel is very new! I love finding new people getting into this show, I'm just so in love with the writing and the acting, I can't wait to see how you react to later episodes
I interpreted Paul's suicide as stemming from 1) the mistaken belief that he was a burden on his family and that they'd be better off without him, which is of course blatantly untrue but sadly something many mentall ill people believe, and 2) the fear that things were changing and he was getting left behind, as he's shown to be anxious about Grace getting married. I also think it's likely something he'd been planning for a long time, and a decision he was at peace with, since in his final scene seems to be "putting his affairs in order", i.e. making sure Grace's husband loves her, and that Louis's going to stay away from that devil Lestat and marry a nice girl. But his family ends up so devastated by his death it just drives Louis right into the devil's arms, ooopsie... Just goes to show suicide is never a solution and will only make things worse.
Love, love, love your reaction to this show! You pay attention while watching which is something a lot if people don't do. I'm impressed.
Just an observation: You were looking more at us than the screen/watching IWTV. Enjoy the ride of this amazing show
You're going to love the rest of the show! It's a bit heavy but gosh is it entertaining
Welcome! It's going to be a crazy ride ❤
Daniel Molloy is MVP even though he’s human. I can’t wait for you to see the rest of S1 (and hopefully S2 which is even better) 😊
Glad to see more people are getting into this amazing show 🎉 I love your vibe ❤
So glad more people are reacting to this show! Loved the video. Gonna subscribe to see the rest of this journey 😊
Lestat killing Miss Lily is somehow the most out of pocket shit he’s done and he’s done a LOT 😭
I actually thought this was an ad for one of those Master Class things for a minute back when I watched this a couple of years back. I tried to skip it, but there was not skip and then I realized it was part of the show.
Yaasss! I loved it, so much!!!😂😂 🤣🤭 Definitely sets it very firmly within the 2020s. Lmao
Exactly! That first little scene was unexpected but a great introduction to the cynical, world weary Daniel character. Loved it.
This show is excellence! Welcome to the Coven!
Thank you! I’m excited
“you guys promised me hot young vampires” 🤭 let the old man yaoi tale seduce you
Please tell me you will still be reacting to the whole show! I love your reactions ❤
Yes for sure! This pilot was so good, can’t wait to watch more. Thanks so much for your support!❤️
I don’t want you to miss anything talking to the camera. Hope you enjoy the rest of the season 😊
Loved your reaction. Subbed, and waiting for the whole series!
Thank you for the support, welcome!! 🤗
Subscribed, can’t wait to watch more reactions from you! I’m OBSESSED with this show, it deserves all the awards!! ❤🙌❤
Greet reaction. I’m looking forward for the next one.
Thanks for the support! There’s more to come
Jumping a broom is more of a non-religious ritual so Paul thinks its evil and shouldn't be done at a Catholic wedding.
I thought it was more of a Catholic vs Protestant thing.
I’m so jealous that you just started. Please watch them all!🙏🏾❤️
The skyline "fangs" title card is Dubai on the bottom, New Orleans up top. P.S. You are bright and you are beautiful. I especially liked the poker game where you started looking at the show as much as you looked before at the camera. Fans love when reactors are truly involved with what they're passionate about.
Please please please spoil nothing for the love of gawd 🙄 let her experience the thrill
this is how you get my subscription on youtube 😂😂
😆😆 love it, welcome!!
@@LibraLens thanks! and don't be offended if your questions arent answered in the comments right away, a lot of us don't want to spoil
🎉🎉
Welcome to the coven. I would love to see you watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer film and TV series
girl no offense but you have to stop looking at the camera so many times. you miss small moments.
You look at yourself in the camera more than you look at the show you're watching, is that normal for you?
Welcome!!!
Thank you! 🫶🏾
There's another show that connected to interview with the vampire show it's called the mayfair witches season 1 already aired second season airs next year
and it's subpar, sadly.
I think it's more interesting that Lestat is seen as a danger instead of a safe option for a relationship - because the show is showing you that you can't choose who you love. And that means you're supposed to challenge your own capacity for empathy and patience for character development. Also - LESTAT DID NOT KILL PAUL. That's not a spoiler. It just didn't happen.
It’s never confirmed if Lestat killed Paul or not. Lestat stans will kill mee… they’ll literally bully and gaslight new watchers of the show for interpreting the show as intended!
@@purple-kp6mk In a later episode Lestat categorically denies that he killed Paul, and I for one believe him on that score. Paul was mentally ill, probably schizophrenic, and suffering from that disease at a time when there was no real help available. Also Anne herself answered the same question, years ago, by denying that Lestat had anything to do with Paul's death.
@@hollyvanwye9294You should have let her discover that when Lestat tells Louis himself.
@@AshleySamM With all due respect that scene already occurred on the show a year ago. When Claudia interrogated Lestat in season 1 he answered emphatically that he did NOT kill Paul. I would never try to spoil something for another viewer. I was simply REMINDING that person of something we'd all seen already in the previous season, plus the fact that Anne Rice herself confirmed that Lestat didn't cause Paul's death.
@@hollyvanwye9294 I wasn't trying to be disrespectful, what I meant is that this is her reaction of the pilot and that scene happened in a later episode, commenting on it right now is a spoiler for the person reviewing the show, even if us viewers have already seen that episode. Also, other people who have only seen the pilot and this reaction do not need to know about that scene until it happens in the show. I think we should only discuss events that happen in the episode the reactor is watching and not assume they've watched subsequent episodes, especially if we know something is gonna be addressed in the show.
You’re so pretty.🥰
Just Watch the show and not the camera. Why do reactors feel the need to glance at the camera every 5 secs? 👀
Yay, I'm excited about your season one reaction videos!! I wondered if Lestat fell in love with Louis at first sight, why did he flirt with Lilly in front of him? Do you think Lestat would have killed Louis or changed him by force if he said no
For lestat I think it was love at first sight. He comes across as obsessive and impulsive. No different than a stalker he saw Louie and just became fixated on him. 😂 Lilly was just a way of pulling louis pigtails. Plus he already told Lily that he was in love with Louie and then he moved there for him. His destiny😂
@@niyah7139 its spelled L-O-U-I-S.
He would not. Louis wanted to ☠himself and Lestat didn't want him to stop existing. He knew that Louis was depressed and suicidal and a danger to himself at the funeral and that's why he was saying "Come to me." Lestat figured, "He wants to die and his life is unnecessarily hard - being a vampire would make things easier for him & he wouldn't be gone & and he can be himself." - because Lestat's covert racism is the "white savior/I don't see color" type. But all those things don't mean that Lestat wasn't head over heels in love with him or that Louis wasn't either.
@@czest-d7f auto correct and it's not that serious
@@czest-d7f yes I was able to pick up on all of that as well. Louis is equal infatuated with Lestat there is something equal off about him. His ability to live in delusion is astounded.
Really, though, you have to give your consent to a lot of things, so I'm not sure that really says you shouldn't -- but, hey, dead priests, dead Miss Lily.
Greetings…It would behoove you to watch more of the show & less of yourself. I am glad that you’ve started the journey 🖤🌹🖤🧛🏻♀️
What are you watching?
