Rebecca Alter New York Magazine/Vulture 4h
4/5
This show is something new altogether, with an entirely different feel from the first two seasons, but it is also dense with self-references, callbacks, and call-forwards. Go to Full Review Whitney Evans TV Fanatic 4h
4.2/5
You can tell pretty quickly into this hour that this isn’t going to be like the first two seasons of Interview with the Vampire. It’s a complete tonal shift, one that tips into comedic absurdity at times, but does so with determination and aplomb. Go to Full Review Ashley Bissette Sumerel Tell-Tale TV 9h
5/5
As an adaptation, the series continues to have the right balance of staying true to the heart of the story while making changes that weave everything together with a fresh take for a modern audience. Go to Full Review Federica Bocco Winter is Coming 19h

If "The Vampire Lesta"t is the titular character's descent into his own internal Inferno, "Detroit" is the antechamber to hell, exquisitely preluding all that will follow. Go to Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? 23h
8.5/10
The Vampire Lestat Episode 1 plunges us into the thick of Lestat’s incredibly vocal thoughts, and he’s a delight. Sam Reid is Lestat through and through, fully embracing Lestat’s main character energy. Go to Full Review Alicia Gilstorf Cool Girl Critiques 4d
3/5
The Season 3 premiere stares into the eyes of a lunatic and ponders how he truly sees the world. It’s a captivating experience and an uncomfortable one all the same. Wonderful to watch, yet grating to experience. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
