Interview With the Vampire

Based on the Anne Rice best seller and plié-ing out from behind the shadow of that book’s 1994 adaptation with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, AMC’s Interview With the Vampire chronicles aging truth-to-power badboy-journo Daniel Molloy’s interview with vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac about his immortal life, which began upon meeting sire-lover Lestat de Lioncourt in 1910s New Orleans. Decades of chaos ensue. If vampire-human love quadrangles appeal to the dormant Twilight stan in you, or if you just want to see some good multi-hyphenate-genre TV, stop spending time on shows that aren’t trying this hard to entertain and let Interview With the Vampire seduce you. —Rebecca Alter
