Excellent, transfixing new series adaptation of Anne Rice’s 1976 vampire classic. ... The show alters specifics of the novel’s story line in ways that wind up working spectacularly well, and that will surprise fans of the book, even while they may frustrate purists. I couldn’t get enough of the five episodes AMC made available for review (there are seven in all), relieved that Rice’s complex, sensual creatures have survived the transition to series TV intact, and delighted by the superb acting and rich production design.

There’s something lost in the mission to destroy the innuendo for the sake of fully overt representation. ... The decision to recast Louis with a Black actor proves the most fruitful break from the source material, the leads’ interracial dynamic layered on top of their intricate mix of lust and hostility.

Ótima adaptação. Anne Rice ficaria orgulhosa com a forma que decidiram trabalhar o material original.

It's a very beautiful and different adaptation, I'm in love with this, it's different from the book, but it's incredible on his own way, the core of the characters and story are still there despite the changes, i love it

Fantastic so far! Great performances from Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid, and they have amazing chemistry together as well. Also loved the directing and production design.

From plantation owner, Louis became a brothel pimp. His journey sure was an unsuccessful one, exactly like this adaptation of Anne Rice's great vampire horror books. Lesson (not) learned is : Do not mess with the original concept.

This garbage has nothing to do with the source material. Don't get attached to this show it won't last more than one season.

The show is so awful, they destroyed the essence of what made the original novels great.
