This is very good! Yes the characters are more explicitly gay than the novels where it’s only implied but the performances by the guy who played Grey Worm and his family are excellent. There is a scene in the first episode that’s really sad if you have a brother.

Also, making the Louise character a Black creole catholic adds an excellent dynamic to the character as it plays into the fact why he chooses to become a vampire. It’s very much pro-Black and maybe some would call it “woke” but not patronizing so. As Lestat is not a good being despite offering freedoms from guilt for hardened but internally suffering Louise.


Only seen the first ep so far but highly recommend

Yeah I think making Louis from the 20th century makes him distinct from Lestat.

Claudia is annoying, but I can't actually think of a way for a frustrated kid vampire to not be annoying.
The actress looks too old but that's it is what it is...you can't get a teen that'll age out.
