The big divide with reviews and rating for people will be those that are new to this property (maybe they watched the 90's movie) and those that have read The Chronicles and so have a wealth of depth and detail into the characters.
The show itself I could see being a decent if not good show and it possibly is for people unfamiliar with the IP but for me going into this as "Interview with the vampire" it was just too removed.
From the first 2 episodes the 2 main characters are nearly unrecognisable from the book versions as well as the basic rules that vampires are subjected to is completely ignored * In the novel vampires where rendered unconscious when the sun rose so having these run about and only sleeping because when it suits them I find annoying.
*Also that vampire's bodies are technically dead so no blood flow and no real sexlife * Also Louis having a setup like he does doesn't sit right (but again that might be because he is such a different character now).
The acting is solid, the writing is meh and weighted down with the typical.
If your after another vampire show that switches back and forth alot then this one might suit you and is worth a try but if you coming because your very familiar with the IP I wouldnt really both.
