Interview with the Vampire: Season 1

"Erasing the element of suggestion proves a blessing and curse... making way for the bracingly graphic and just plain obvious alike."

"I choose the Jordan movie for its efficiency, though this version is not without its curiosities and its merits."

"Australian Sam Reid makes a terrific Lestat and Eric Bogosian is wonderfully spiky as journalist Daniel Molloy."

"An engrossing and entertaining take... that makes the languid and wan 1994 movie look positively pale and pallid in comparison."

"Lurid, sombre and visually eye-popping, it’s smart sexy-horror escapism."

"By critiquing racial and relationship dynamics AMC’s series feels fresh and more than “just” a vampire series. Happily, it’s to die for."

"It does for bloodsucker drama what HBO’s Watchmen did for the superhero genre, reclaiming an old story for a new, more enlightened generation."

"This series is the absolute best kind of adaptation..."

"There’s a confidence to (the show) that makes it worth the while even when it’s straining itself to hit all the biggest Gothic notes."

"Bogosian gives good gruff bemusement, but the interview itself is often Interview's least compelling subplot..."
