AMC's thirsty new series Interview with the Vampire is one of the best shows on television, thanks to its transformative reimagining of a classic Gothic horror tale as a modern drama rooted in trauma, psychology, sexuality, and vampirism. While the series is adapted from Anne Rice's hit novel of the same name, it takes creative liberties, such as changing Louis de Pointe du Lac's (Jacob Anderson) race and placing Louis and Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) in an explicit romance that spans centuries and is unmatched in depth and intensity. After two seasons revolving around Louis' side of the story, which only gets better with each episode, Season 3 is on the way with a completely different perspective, and you can bank on it being littered with bitterness, emotional intensity, and in-your-face horror that will only serve to cement Interview with the Vampire's status as the greatest fantasy-horror series on television.
