Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe opening credit sequence is an emerging composite image consisting of the skyline of Dubai and New Orleans. Dubai is on the bottom of the frame, with New Orleans on the top, which brought together resembles a set of "Vampire fangs".
- GoofsLestat talks of learning from "Assisi, Aquinas, Erasmus," but he pronounces Aquinas in a non-English way ("Ah-KEEN-as") but still as if spelled in the English manner. The Aquinas spelling is pronounced "ah-kwEYE-nus". In French the church father's name is D'Aquin ("da-KA' "). In addition, when he says, "Assisi" he means St Francis of Assisi, and Assisi is not his last name, it's the place he lived in and did his work. He is never referred to as "Assisi" but simply as "Saint Francis".

Featured review
A pleasant surprise, after my adjustment to the era change
I am a huge fan of the Anne Rice novel. It is one of my favorite works. When the movie came out, I thought it was simply okay, but it was hard to do justice to the book.
Because I have such high regard for the novel, I almost did not want to see this turned into a series. And, at the start, I felt a bit jarred that Louis' story origin takes place in 1910 as opposed to the late 18th Century.
But then, I just decided to keep an open mind and settle into the changes, which certainly seemed to be in the spirit of Rice's original work. She obviously was involved in the project before her recent passing, because she is credited as Executive Producer, along with her son.
I am glad I stuck with this. The performances are mesmerizing. The 2 leads are quite good, but the actor playing Lestat is absolutely incandescent. His final scene and moment are crackling with ferocity and electricity.
The violence is a bit shocking, a couple of times, but in the context of the character, the casual brutality makes sense.
Looking forward to see where this series goes from here.
