“It’s a testament to the magnetism of Jacob Anderson and those around him that, while we miss his chemistry with Reid, the show does not crumble without Lestat’s presence.
Making up for that is the alluring Zaman, who spent most of the first season disguised as a human. Book fans will know Armand as a petty perennial teen who obsesses over and is infuriated by Lestat in equal measure. In the series, he is debonair, malicious and far more powerful. The new dynamic it creates with him and Louis makes for a nourishing reinvention of the novels.“
We have many sleeps until May 12th, but until then AMC+ has released a new extended trailer for series two of INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE to sate your appetite.
“With Louis' memory not as reliable as the vampire had believed it to be, and Armand now present in their conversations, Daniel is forced to balance on an even more dangerous tightrope in speaking with two powerful creatures whose temperaments could turn in an instant. What makes his predicament even more convoluted is that Daniel seems to be remembering bits and pieces from his previous interview with Louis, and as the details that were previously blurred for many years finally make their way to the surface, the revelations that arise could have destructive consequences for current relationships.“
“Louis, but also through the couple's shared willingness to bury the pain of mutually inflicted wounds. When 2022's interview resumes, it's unclear whether Armand is sticking around to offer a different perspective on the story or correct Louis' version of events, but what becomes increasingly obvious is that there are some details the two are not in unison on, and the subsequent rising tension between the longtime paramours makes for some of the best moments of the season.“
“Yet, even if Louis initially presents himself as a more hostile witness at first, one has the sense that he still wants to unlock the inner recesses of his own mind — whether Armand tacitly gives his permission or not. Louis and Daniel's dynamic has been steadily moving away from that of interviewer and subject in favor of something that feels much closer to confidant and confessor, which wouldn't be possible without the actors' continually deepening rapport on-screen.“
“Even though Armand and Louis are a power couple tethered by past tragedies, and Louis continues to be tortured by Lestat's ghost, Season 2 allows for the exploration of more than one attachment within the group — and, surprising absolutely no one, these vampires are exceptionally messy when it comes to relationship drama, especially when they've had centuries to brood about their feelings. Meanwhile, Daniel somehow fits into the story's biggest triangle more unexpectedly, turning it into more of a square through connections that transcend a merely visceral hunger for blood.“
Louis eyes look so puffy in Europe . Is he not getting enough sleep ? Can he not sleep well without Lestat ? " He hated sleeping without him " 😓 or is Lestat haunting him even in his sleep ? 24/7 on his mind?
