I finally had the opportunity to begin watching the new Interview with the Vampire series (based on Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles) on AMC! I was nervous going into this, having been a long time fan of the books and knowing there were some significant changes with this adaptation. That being said, the first episode surpassed my expectations and I'm really looking forward to watching the rest! If you'd like to see full length episode reactions on patreon in the future - let me know!

I am interested in full length reactions. This show is fucking fabulous.
Great reaction. Most people forget that Anne herself worked with these people who made this. And her Son also is an executive producer. This has Anne's fingerprints all over it. Like her reworking of Lestat from 1st book to second. This series gave her the chance to combine all the books. To retell the story as a cohesive unit instead of the evolving story a series of books automatically have, because of the time it takes to write and release each one. Anne was looking for someone to take her work and transform it into a cohesive story and a modern one. This series is all I could ever want for the chronicles. I hope they get the chance to tell them all. You are a great reviewer. Please do full length reactions to these episodes. Thanks for all your efforts.
@@dominicaudy8479 Sorry not true. Anne died while they were filming. The casting and the scripts were done. You do not film with out either. The story you tell is more like the Paramount saga. In 2018 she went to Paramount to have series made. It was a done deal and then Anne pulled out and went to AMC. I heard the show runners state that Anne was involved in the series. Again the distance was at Paramount. I also have heard comments that all the decisions on this series were pushed by her Son. He is being blamed for all the extra "Gay" content and all the other changed. So I guess Anne and Christopher were both not involved and wholly responsible for the series at same time. Who really knows. i believe Actors and Show runners in the interviews they gave, that they are working on Anne"s version of what she wanted.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I have already completed a reaction to episode 2 but I'll be sure to do full length reactions to the rest of the series!
As someone who had no prior relationship to the story before watching the show, it's so cool to see book fans react to it and hear their thoughts. I'd love full-length reactions!
Thanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind!
Oh my goodness - Lestat (Sam Reid) has a way of drawing you into his telling of Lestat. I found myself being drawn in and when
Louis (Jacob Anderson) told his story it just makes your heart feel... I'm almost done and my goodness - Anne Rice would be proud... This is a long way from Tom and Brad, for sure...
It's definitely very different but feels so right! Sam Reid is doing an excellent job!
Nice review! And I love the series.
And totally agree about the charming predator aspect of Lestat. I love the romantic-sinister duality of the start of their relationship. Lestat is wooing and courting Louis and also systematically isolating Louis by removing his other human connections. Even assuming Paul’s death was just a convenient happenstance, the removal of Lily and the priest Louis trusted were deliberate.
It's so well done. You can see how difficult it would've been for Louis to resist.
As a long time book fan I was initially against the changes, they just sounded so drastic…but I am happy to report that the gist of what makes this story so compelling is intact, even if the changes are making my head spin at how they’ll deal with them for future book adaptations. In any case. Love the books, but also very much enjoying the series. Jacob Anderson is fantastic as Louis, and Sam Reid is like book Lestat walked off the pages and into the tv! Fantastic all around, and can’t wait for more…”I want more!” ;-)
So pleased to hear another book fan saying this! I agree Sam Reid embodies Lestat so well - I'm loving him so far!
I first read the books in my 20s (I'm 50) and most recently only a year or two ago.
I'm 6 out of 7 episodes in, and I cannot wait for the finale!
Lestat really feels like Lestat, Louis really feels like Louis... and the heart of the story is there, regardless of changes to setting or timeline.
What I love most is that I only learned a couple of days ago about Anne Rice's involvement, yet these interpretations still felt true to me from episode 1.
the girl who plays Claudia is soo good, even tho she is aged up it works better simply because writing her any younger makes some of the subject matter they go into really distasteful and there isn't a narritive reason that's worth taking there.. the family dynamic really dosent come full circle til Claudia enters the picture imo. she is the glue that held them together, and will eventually (most likely im assuming) tear them apart.
I'm looking forward to seeing her! I'm so glad to hear the aged up version of her works!
Great reaction. I’m longtime fan of the first few novels myself and I’m obsessed with this adaptation.
I'm loving this show....I read the books over 30 yrs ago and loved most. This series so far has proven itself, of course Anne and her son were involved so the changes are valid to the growth of her storytelling.
I'm so pleased to hear that Anne and her son were involved!
@@MollyBeeReacts Don't be too pleased, I don't think they very much approved of any changes, but sold the rights anyway. That's why the project changed showrunners and networks so much.. They were not easy to work with I guess. Chris Rice still has an Executvie Producer credit, but every time somebody asks him about the show on Twitter he reacts a bit passive aggressively that he has no comment.
This portrayal of Lestat is PERFECT 🤤😆
Thank you for watching this
I love watching book fans watching this. The show is SO good. This Louis is actually a character in this version (Jacob Anderson is amazing) and Sam Reid basically is Lestat like he literally stepped out of the book.
Bailey Bass is also phenomenal as Claudia. She does a really convincing job of "aging" from a 14 year old to an actual adult.
That's awesome to hear - I am excited to see Claudia!
Loving to see more reactions to this show!
Well, if we can't have season 4 of Hannibal with Wil and Han as murder husbands (tm), we can at least have this. Great show and I'm glad you're reacting to it.
I was thinking the same thing about Hannibal omg! Especially after episode 2!!!!
@@MollyBeeReacts Right? Correcting a musical production by murder... both hubbies love killing but one enjoys it more and that creates friction... Bryan Fuller is not part of this series, but he was developing a version of the show a few years ago before him and the Rices fell out. I wonder if some of his version's DNA is still in this.
Please watch more!! This Sunday is the last one!!!
no, two weeks from now... we have to wait until the peeps watching on cable to catch up to avoid spoilers.
@@remholloway2579 AMC confirmed it's on this Sunday for streaming.
I am definitely going to watch all the rest of the episodes! I've already reacted to episode 2 but I"ll do full length reactions for the rest of the season!
📍Lestat stalked Louis, manipulated his thoughts, did vampire telepathy, murdered people, and more to get with Louis... Louis counted that 3-Some as a one night stand and didn't plan on going back, but Lestat was not going to stop until he had him! (so really Louis was forced in the relationship under duress.)
I just discovered this show and this channel! I love your reaction!
Welcome to the fandom!!!! I do feel like I should give you an advance trigger warning for ep. 5, although I hear that they added it now. I love your makeup btw, you remind me of a mermaid with the lights in your room playing off of your face, and the glitter! 😘
Awww thank you so much and I appreciate the trigger warning as well!
I didn’t even know there was a show! I am going to have to check it out.
Definitely check it out! I've now seen the first 2 episodes and I"m very pleased!
Book reader and Anne stan here. AMC nailed it.
I think you’ll love this series based on your reaction to this ep! Can’t wait to see more reactions
I so much do love MY MOLLY BEE(where have you been???)...... she's one of the ones that I give a like to without even watching her comments... Molly... you are beautiful inside and out.... now imma watch... you are one of my favorite reactors... glad you're here
Awww thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
@@MollyBeeReacts bring my Christmas gift early.... more interview with a vampire... PLEASE!!!... I'm trying to hold Lestat back...he visits those who only watch one episode...hurry...lol
I've read 7 of the chronicles and felt just like you going in. Intrigued but nervous they would f**k it up. But pleasantly surprised!! You are gonna love some of the easter eggs they add in the season. Loved the reaction can't wait till you're caught up.
All the performances are amazing! This vampire lestat is more sinister & unhinged imo. The actor Sam Reid can actually sing and was a big fan of the books. The actor is seriously talented af! Imo he is indeed the brat prince.
The easter eggs were making me so happy!!! I can't wait to see more!
@@MollyBeeReacts also it's cool to keep in mind the showrunner Rolin Jones reread the first 3 books before writing the series.
It's really cool to watch a reaction of someone who read the books!
Awesome!!
Just another Old Book Fan weighing in: I wanted nothing to do with this series. Fine, do what you will, but I'll have none of it! And I was wrong. Long story short, I came around and I love it.
Love your shows and particularly today your eye glitter !!!!! Bootiful !!!
So i take it your a fan Molly 😁 im intersted in this series after watching the movie in 94 so we shall see how it fairs x
Hahahaha yes definitely a big fan!
exactly...thx...
What’s understated is how much Louis suspected before Lestat revealed his true nature and wasn’t put off. Now I’m not at ALL saying that Lestat isn’t every bit the predator but I certainly feel Louis’s eyeballs were more open to the true nature of his love than on the novels and n nearly as pouty about it, he had some agency
I like your reaction to IWTV, you are so beautiful and insightful, but, I feel the title of this episode should be "The Immortal's Seduction"
So true - that would be a perfect title!
"It was as if some... creature was coming in through some... dark and alien forest."
*cough* Amel *cough*
Nah i liked Brad Pitt and Tom cruise more , they are way more aesthetic .
But i wish they did some physical stuff lol 😳
Nice reaction Molly have you've seen Child's Play or Halloween or too scary?😜😁
LOL I actually have only seen the original Halloween film and the original Child's Play. There's a new Child's Play series, right?
@@MollyBeeReacts Oh wow ok cool. Yeah there's a current chucky series but if you're thinking of watching you have to see the films first or you'll be lost haha 😄 CP2 and 3 are still serious chucky with one liners then he gets a little sillier then darker again and the series is like a mix of both. Halloween the recent trilogy from blumhouse is but another timeline.
The first is h1,h2, h4,h5 and he also known as the thorn trilogy 4,5 and 6. Then you have h1,h2,h20 and Resurrection timeline and then the blumhouse timeline which is h1,h2018,kills and ends.
There's also the rob zombie films but thsts a differen universe vision all together his is more grounded and not supernatural at all.
Also hope you're doing well and had a Happy Halloween Molly!😊😁
MOLLY SHOULD TOTALLY WATCH THE CROW THE BRANDON LEE MOVIE 0/
I've seen it!!!
@@MollyBeeReacts POGGY LOL
Where are the rest of the episode reactions?
Young Brad Pitt is the most aesthetic person in the world i wanna see that one again
Que chulada de vieja eres bella hermosa 😍
Is this the same character from the Tom Cruise/Brad Pitt movie? I think I might watch this
Yes! These are the same characters from that film - Louis (Brad Pitt/Jacob Anderson) and Lestat (Tom Cruise/Sam Reid)!
I saw all that novels you hold up, did they cram in all those books into one movie? With that many volumes I think TV series is a way to go
