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.

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

It’s 100 percent Cirque du Soleil realness.

3/5

This new Interview is far more faithful to Rice than was the movie – and nowhere near as much fun.

3/4

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

4.5/5

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.

Amei a primeira temporada, em especial a atriz e que interpretou a Claudia e sua evolução com a personagem. Apesar da série ter sido um pouco cansativa no segundo episódio, o desfecho do terceiro episódio em diante foi cativante. Sinto necessidade de elogiar ainda mais a personagem Claudia, ela se destaca em toda a história e faz o telespectador desejar que ela seja o foco de toda a história. Queria ter visto mais sobre os anos nômades da vida imortal dela.

Incredible, perfect. The show I’ve always been waiting for. The actors are incredible and so committed. The atmosphere, the costumes, the script, everything is amazing. Anne Rice’s universe and spirit are truly respected. All of the actors are fantastic, but oh my God, Sam Reid is just so talented and captivating. I love the unapologetic tone of the series. It’s both politically incorrect and "woke" at the same time. They’re not afraid to bring queer identity to the screen, and they’re doing it brilliantly.

IWTV has everything you could possibly want from a TV show. You could not get any better TV than this. The writing, the acting, the sets, the music, the stories. It is all phenomenal. Beautifully shot from the opening scene to the season finale. A must watch.
