I totally agree with the miyagi story that part is it very good. However, you can not tell me that the tournament and the character interactions and development aren’t some of the best scenes in the whole series. The interactions with the senseis and the students make these 5 episodes some some of the most memorable for me and they actually left me wanting to watch more

Lestat does love Louis the reason he made claudia into a vampire was because of his fear of being abandoned but i do believe he did care about claudia they were just too similar to each other he just could only save one he wasn't powerful enough to protect both Louis is the most human out of all the vampires in the vampire chronicles which is why both armand and lestat love about him

The reason lestat didn't know about vampire gifts when he first met armand is because his maker magnus never told him about anything from the rules to powers before he died remember in season 1 he said his maker told him nothing i think he wanted lestat to learn the same way he did on his own

This show has completely jumped the shark. It's just the same thing over and over now. And there are WAY too many characters. And since when does a tournament have to take up half a damn season? I don't think anyone ever got into this show for the fight scenes.

If you're curious about sam reid other acting roles check out the movie belle it came out several years ago it's based on a true story beautiful film

To answer your question about the great conversion yes it will come to play when the show gets to book 3 queen of the damned as for lestat i think since he's over 100 years old when his and Louis began their relationship overtime his humanity is gone while Louis is still struggling with keeping his which is also causing problems for their relationship

I wasn't surprised that terry silver came back for season 6 totally agree about Johnny and Daniel fued but i did like seeing miguel set them straight on the beach

Do you think that Robby and Demetri will get their hotel room back now that Kwon will no longer need it 😂

Sofia is as evil as Oz when you think about it. She has killed more innocent people than Oz, and that is saying something. When she gassed her family, there were gaurds who also died; she killed a teenager in episode 1, she killed Magpie; made Gia an orphan; bombed Crown Point; hung up those bliss distributors. Sofia is the definitive hangman...😅💁🏾‍♂️

Love from California! Where are you guys from?

Hollywood take notes: a VILLAIN should always stay a VILLAIN. They can have nice attributes such as being smart, charismatic,funny, etc. but they should always still be bad at their core. This series was a masterpiece in showing that and although I absolutely hated the way that Vic died it displayed the true selfishness and sociopathic nature that Oz had since childhood. I can’t WAIT to see Batman kick his azz lol

Great review!

Hi my name is Kima (K.Bly). I see that you also watch The Penguin. I am planning a live stream for the season finale. I’d love to have you as a guest.

I think you're off base on Francis before her sons die. It's not a good thing that she is sending her son to give the books to Rex, but a) she is very clear she only wants the oldest boy interacting with Rex, 15 years old and already smart enough not to get caught up in that crime lifestyle and b) what other option does she have? She is a single mother raising three kids in the poorest neighborhood in the city. If she doesn't ask her boys to step up, they all starve, because she cannot take the time to go and find Rex, she needs to finish the next bit of work for the next 50 dollars that will buy benny a new jacket. It's wrong and unfair to the kid, but that is not a fault of her-it's a fault of a gotham that doesn't give a shit if the poor of the city live or die. She is a woman in poverty with no assistance and no good options, and within those boundaries, she is doing the best she can.

Best show on any platform right now! How the hell did he expect them to get out and why tf would he just go home and chill lol

To me it was a very great film

Louis is seriously dangerous! His kills are always savage. He ripped the jaw off a guy in the first series. That's what Lestat saw in him. If Louis had really accepted being a vampire from the start, they would've been the wildest. They love each other too much! 😁

Just caught on to the fact that Armand was trafficked and Louis was an ex- pimp/ trafficker.

I like Sophia as an interesting character but I'm more on OZ's side. Oz is a man of the people and looks after the people who work for him. Sophia told Oz that he's just a driver and that's all he will ever be so no one cares what he thinks, and this is when he was just trying to help her and be on her side about talking to the press. Then she was shocked that he had the nerve to come inside while they were have a party, as if he wasn't a human and should sit outside all night. Oz turned on her and other people due to the way they treated him as if he was less than human but Sophia was treating the people who worked under her poorly from the start.

Louis IS the problem, the signs of danger are always clear as day and Louis ISN’T oblivious to them, he just believes he’ll be immune in some way or spared the worst of it, which he is, regardless to the consequences others may have to face. From manipulating Lestat isn’t making Claudia (this was against the law), not burning Lestat, completely ignoring Claudia’s warning about Armand. Louis is selfish af and hella adept at becoming a victim.

1:04:04 Lestat did not pull Louis out of the coffin, Armand did. All Lestat did was influence the audience to change the punishment.

Just this title "Is Louis the problem???? Just that alone, makes me get"victim-shaming vibes " so it's the abused person's fault... so predator's are okay. . so if you get cheated on,get beaten halfway to death... and you get left in a box to die(all of which are against your will). .. and you were lied to, and mislead... it's your fault???!!! And in both those relationships, Louis did leave them... BUT I GUESS HE WAS WRONG FOR THAT TOO!!!! Dammmm... the nerve of him for living!!!!!!

Great review, loved listening to your commentary. And I agree, Daniel is a bit annoying but he's growing on me lol.

If Lestat could have saved Claudia, I think he would have. Claudia would never have forgiven him if he could not save her companion. It just sucks they both died.

Fujino is reliant on Kyomoto which is why she was so distressed when Kyomoto decided to leave for art school, it isn't due to her thinking her of a tool, she sees her as a friend, her only real friend. So seeing her friend leave hurt her, especially at such an important turning point in her life. Is it selfish? yes. Does she not support her going to art school? No, she's just afraid of losing her. Which happened anyway.

Louis “The lies I tell myself about myself” de Pointe du Lac is still my precious. He’s a hot mess just like the rest.

Its my time to shine as the #1 louis defender! I really dont think any one person is the "problem" in the show, they all hurt eachother in different ways. Lestatnwas constantly hurting louis immensely but louis let down claudia over and over again. Armand was plainly taking advantage of louis but he also spent several hundred years being abused by other people. I also think louis was passively suicidal for almost his entire life. Him pleading with lestat for example is (imo) not manipulative the way other people seem to think it is. Hes not trying to threaten anyone hes begging for somebody to give him a reason to live.

Correction! Louis didn't sleep with Miss Lily, she said, when the three of them got together that night, that Louis only calls her to talk, to which Lestat replies "What kind of man waste this waist with words?". He used to "hire" her to keep appearances, but he didn't have relations with her. Imo he probably did try to sleep with a woman at some point, but I don't think it went well, because, well, obviously because he's gay.

"I think I need a prequel series of how Lestat got to New Orleans" you're gonna love season 3 then 😋

19:53 consent and vampires is such a funny convo to me. Louis literally said he was being hunted. Applying morality to a show about monsters leads to madness

38:50 You got Madeleine's story wrong. She's not Jewish. During the occupation, Madeleine slept with a German soldier in exchange for food and other necessities. When the war ended, women like her were seen as traitors. They were dragged through the streets, their heads shaved as a sign of shame (this happened in real life).

Interesting discussion guys! Even if you now hate all the remaining characters, I hope you'll still watch season 3! A few points: - I don't think Louis was trying to kill himself for attention. He was in such a low point after Claudia's death, he was stuck with Armand only to spite Lestat, basically a drug addict - I don't think he ever threatened to kill himself to manipulate anyone, he's just genuinely dealing with depression and suicidal ideation for majority of his life. This was simply the only time he actually attempted. - I don't believe for a second that Louis asked Armand to erase the memories of SF. Armand is an established liar by that point and Mr. I-Keep-The-Stones-In-My-Feet, who cries because he genuinely wants to remember... that seems widely out of character for him.

I don’t think Madeleine was jewish. She was an outcast for sleeping with the german soldier. She wasn’t wearing the star in any of she flashbacks. They shaved her head as punishment. The coven leader can sanction the turning of someone they don’t have to be the one to do it. They broke that law because the coup had happened by then and Santiago was the new leader

I just finished the story. My answer is: nobody is innocent in this story. Lestat was horrible to Louis but he apologized. Armand on the other hand is a wolf in sheep's clothing. At least we know Lestat is a wolf and we know how to keep him fed.

I agree with Jess about Louis and Armand acting cutesy on the couch. It did feel forced, but I went into the show biased so I’m glad she picked up on it without background already lol. Also, I’m not sure what the intention is because they never say but it’s my opinion that Claudia was doomed from the beginning. I think they let her join the coven just to make it easier for them and because they like to play games but I’m convinced they knew about Lestat off jump. You can see in ep1 that Louis and Claudia can’t even lie and convince humans. There’s no way the coven fell for their Bruce cover story for a sec. Also it’s funny you say Santiago would mentally break Claudia down when in the actual book, it was Armand constantly getting into Claudia’s head so she would end herself. It’s very insightful of Alvin to say but it wasn’t Santiago. You guys still kind of buy into Armand’s helpless facade which is great because it shows how dangerous Armand is. Also Madeleine isn’t Jewish, she’s a French person who slept with a Nazi. That’s why they shaved her head, that was a punishment women received after the war for “collaborating” with Nazi’s. This is why Madeleine said that if turning her into a Vampire makes her a monster, then they’re only confirming what she already is. And I think what Alvin said is true about Louis being tired of Claudia (to a small degree). To me it was the fact that Dreamstat said “speaking of mistakes” when Claudia comes into the room. Dreamstat is just Louis’ opinions that he’s too afraid to say himself. That’s why he uses an imaginary Lestat. I think a lot of Armand’s motivation is down to the fact that he’s upset for being rejected by both Lestat and Louis. Like rejection sensitivity to a sociopathic level 😂. Because yea Louis is obsessed with Lestat but so is Armand. I am fully convinced that if Lestat told Armand he wants to be companions with him, Armand will 100% yes. Even after all this. Thanks for the video! You guys accompanied me while I was doing my chores lol. Also, you absolutely have to watch the S3 trailer, I can imagine Jess’ reaction

About Armand motivation…there’s a video essay on TH-cam called “exploring the complexity of interview with the Vampire “ from creator “Serieable” that explains it better than I could ever. I’ve read 6 of the book and I’ve always find Armand character difficult to grasp and I love Armand tv version way more than the book version… in the essay Serieable says that Armand motivation comes from how trauma and eternal life have shaped his concept of time and interpersonal relationships, it really interesting video, I always recommend it because it made me understand Armand better after all these years. ❤

Damn you guys are blaming Santiago for Claudia's bird play when it was all Armand, he was the leader of the coven and he never really liked Claudia

He has shitty tendencies especially towards Claudia but he's not the full problem

No he’s not. His abusive boyfriends are the problem.

Maybe in The manga I forgot where I saw it but she went to art school to get better to help fujino. She wanted to get better to help them both with makes everything so much more sad. The attack was based off of the real life art school attack in kinda recent. This story was a lil homage to the victims of the attack.

Can’t wait for your season 2 review

Lestat is not racist. They are both originally white characters. Lestat was still kinda annoyed at Louis and his issues with his humanity and gloomy disposition even then.

Nice takes. Gonna have to add the movie to my watchlist. I like how the robot's lack of a face allows the animators to convey her emotions through other means, like color changes and body language. Also, you think a robot would know what an animal is 😂

Great conversation, love seeing things from a different perspective.

Lestat isnt racist...he is a vampire, who has been a vampire a lot longer than he was ever human. He ia far removed from, for lack of a better word. human issues...when he asked how Loui got into that place considering he was black.... he was simply stating a fact of how it was back then...Lesta find it all ridiculous that human think such a way...he feels Loui should feel the same. Armand is even more removed from humanity...he is much older...even Loui becomes more removed...telling claudia that if Madeleine said another word, he would break both her arms. he is a vampire...Madeleine mearly human. So, Lestat could give a rats ars what race, nationality or color anybody is,,,its all the same to him.....food.

Why didn’t he burn Lestat’s body? Because he loved him! Lmao I’ll preface by saying Lestat is my favorite character, but I won’t tell you that you’re wrong for feeling the way you do about him. There are plenty of people that still don’t like him even after season 2 ,which I think is fair, but I also think that it’s hard to come down on either side until you watch season 2. These 2 seasons complete the first book so that’s why I’m most excited to hear your opinions after you watch this second season. I’m subscribing!!

No, Lestat is not a racist and you really are a potato! Lestat is a fictional vampire. Nevertheless, he’s ancient and this story was written in 1973 with two whyte characters, you can’t define them with 2024 caveats. Why define them, at all?

he picked Dubai because this country is very strict with privacy...it's easier to hide his identity as a vampire...i think it's illegal to just take pictures of random people...
