Critics Consensus

With a playful tone and an expansive sweep that allows Anne Rice's gothic opus to mull like a chalice of blood, Interview with the Vampire puts a stake through concerns that this story couldn't be successfully resurrected.

The plot unfolds like a campy, over-the-top horror thriller, but the emotional reality of the characters feels more like poetry.

Both leads are excellent, and the show thankfully expands the source material.

3/4

A handsomely shot and well-cast blend of horror, humor and romance in which bodices and throats are ripped in equal measure.

Exquisitely produced and featuring a trio of great performances by Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, and Bailey Bass, the series deftly explores sex, violence, race, class, and queerness in nuanced and entertaining ways.

Season 1 of Interview with the Vampire was absolutely mesmerizing. Dark, beautiful, heartbreaking, and unexpectedly funny, with so much emotional depth. The chemistry and performances were incredible—especially Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson. A truly unforgettable season. 🖤🩸

It completely changes the point of the story. Instead of the struggle of existence in the face of eternity and weighing morality as a vampire it instead focuses on race and sexuality. I’m sure for some that’s exactly the kind of content they want but as a fan of the books it’s more just woke nonsense ruining good IPs. I wanted a show about the already established good book not for everything to be changed to focus or race and sex

When it came to this show, the 2nd time was the charm for me. I watched it when it first aired, and 2 things prevented the series from dazzling me the whay it should have: 1) not being prepared for languid (very deliberate and appropriate) pacing; and why not? When you are immortal, you don't get to quicken the pace of your existence; and 2) not having access to the uncut/uncensored version on first viewing (an absolute must). Neil Jordan's film - time contraints notwithstanding always seemed egregiiously miscast (sorry Tom, and Brad, what were you doing in this film?). This series is perfect in every way. Sit back, relax, and suck up its beauty and horror.

This adaptation blew me away. It's made with such love for the books and the changes are handled with so much care. The cast is simply phenomenal.
