it's a love story, but between two predators from now on, so it will be filled with toxicity and blood of course! but nonetheless a love story, even monsters deserve a romance lol
"I thought it was going to be Looking but everyone is a vampire" was absolutely hilarious, thank you. I think that priest punch is the most shocking and gory moment of the series (though it definitely does get bloody and gory in the rest of the season), but I promise it's not actually scary. High camp is a perfect description actually. It's a drama, but there are undeniably funny moments. It's something I never thought I'd see: a prestige vampire show. I can't wait see what you think of the rest!
This is by far one of the best first episodes of any show ever! I am so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you keep watching, I think you really will love it. I'm afraid the gore is a staple, but it is a gothic romance, so you have to expect that. It's a love story and a horror story. Alex is right about the movie - it was very homoerotic but it was never explicit about Louis & Lestat's relationship. Luckily, the show makes it obvious they're queer and in love and focuses on how that affects them and their lives. Thanks so much for making my halloween awesome by dropping this!
Anne Rice did not write teen "Fluff". This is NOT "Twilight". This is the introduction of the two aspects of Vampirism in Anne's World. The Monster who is outside the Human they once were. And the Human that just happens to be a Vampire.......... Not going to give spoilers as to which one wins out. But Anne was a pragmatist. She chose well. Thanks for your great reaction. You guys are always entertaining.
Also to clarify even though they slept together 1 time they had known each other and talked for months before that so him saying he is in love seem a bit more believable
It's interesting. Now I know it was months to a year upon Louis and Lestat meeting and the chapel turning scene. But while having first watched the pilot, I honestly thought it was like a day or maybe a week - at the most two. I don't know if that is significant to the poor storytelling of the show or my poor intellect and comprehension. Since I am aware the show's story telling is MAGNIFICENT, I know it's in part my poor listening skills 😂. Plus some other people's first reaction to the pilot, they were aware from the start. I wonder what makes us different in picking up those type details 😁?
Just a thought - as it concerns red flag #3: Lestat and Louis had been dating for some time prior to the church scene - they went to the opera, dinners, long walks and conversations through New Orleans, etc. Lestat never forced himself on Louis: that's why he asked if Louis would accept the "dark gift" and didn't just convert him.
I'd consider making Louis crazy at his brother's funeral falls into a "Lestat forcing himself on Louis" category. Also, that gaudy display of violence in the church let Louis know for certain that he was going to come out of this dead like the priests, or dead like Lestat. Looks like insane levels of coersion, if not outright force, to me.
Oh I'm so happy you watch this. And speaking of supernatural queer content... "Good Omens" is a really good show as well, which might be probably a bit easier to watch for you, because its tone is rather bright and not as gory and dark as IWTV. However now I'm looking forward to the rest of the season...
I am so happy you guys are watching this and I hope you continue the show, As a gay teen in the 90;s reading Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles wich this show is based on (mainly the first book) Helped me come to terms with my sexuality, While in the books it is not out rightly said characters sexuality it is defiantly hinted at. In the end vampires in Rice's world seek companionship, and the act of drinking blood. is very sensual for them. The show is very different from the books in SO MANY WAYS but I think it is a great modernization of the story. Please keep with this one, and let Anne's World embrace you.
this is such a good series, far better than the original film and Sam Reid as Lestat is brilliant. Really happy to see Anne Rice's son Christopher Rice has taken over the project since she passed away in 2021
Yes!! This is definitely the best new show on tv imo. I've watched season 1 through 3 times now and can't wait for season 2. The actors that play Lestat and Louis, Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson, are amazing.
The thing about the Vampire Chronicles (the book series this show is based on) is that everybody is queer in one way or another, even the characters you'd think are straight at first are definitely not, it's great
I laughed when Daniel said, "Maybe your story wasn't worth telling", because your name is literally, "A Story Worth Telling". You guys are a scream! Look forward to watching the rest of the series with you (unless this is just a Halloween treat)!
After watching the full reaction on patreon you've done a bloody good job of finding bits that could actually go in the edit because I spent half the episode thinking 'will that be allowed on TH-cam?'. I screamed, gasped and laughed. Such a good episode and a wonderful reaction as always! ❤
I can't believe TH-cam didn't tell me you did Interview with the Vampire! I've been subscribed to you guys since you did Heartstopper S1 and I've been obsessed with these vampires since this first came out!
SO SO GLAD you guys have started this wonderful series! You'll LOVE it! You get SO MANY easter eggs if you've read the books but that's the same with everything, It's so good as a standalone anyway. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue and do the whole season! Can't wait for season two next year!
Finally getting around to watch the show myself. So naturally had to come here right after finishing the first episode 😆 Also: absolutely loving the eye shadow
I was watching interview with a vampire reactions at like 4 am and was thinking *I want A Story Worth Telling to react to this* so you can imagine my surprise when I look later and see y'all reacting to it 😂 i'm on ep 5 and Lestat red flags are through the roof but I can't stop loving him 🥴
Y’all crack me up 🤣 I’m so glad you’re reacting to this. Honestly this series is so well done, definitely one of my faves in vampire and queer representation. There’s a bit of gore, but hopefully you still enjoy it 😉
"i'm all for being infatuated with people but he was full of red flags." lestat: is a walking red flag xD

You may want to watch the original 1994 film with Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst. In some ways it's much more faithful adaptation. The series is based on The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, which consists of 14 books. She changed the landscape of vampires forever. Many works you see now, whether that be The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Buffy, Twilight, etc, have all taken inspiration from her work. Besides Dracula, Lestat is the most famous vampire in fiction. Interview with the Vampire is the first book in the series. It's good to keep in mind not everything you're observing is 100% true. Louis is an unreliable narrator and it's mostly all from his pov. Hope you enjoy the show!
Omg I've been WAITING for this! EDIT after watching: Ya'll had me cracking up so damn much this episode. Can't wait to see the reactions for the rest of the series!
“To make you a vampire they have to suck your blood. And then you have to suck their blood. It's like a whole big sucking thing. Mostly they're just gonna kill you.” - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Well, Gentlemen, you MADE my Halloween! I LOVE YOU GUYS! I first encountered you a month ago, with Red White and Royal Blue, and I have watched your review almost as often as I have watched the film [and that is a GREAT MANY times!]. I love your chemistry, your banter, your humor, your keen powers of observation, and your sex appeal. And NOW - you have selected another favorite of mine in Interview with the Vampire! [And I was on the 3rd episode before I realized that Louis was Greyworm!!!] Thank you both. You give me joy! PLEASE tell me you will be reviewing all the other episodes as well. I have never been moved to join anyone's Patreon - but I am joining yours right now! Happy Halloween! 💗
For the record, there is no need to "suck" six liters of blood out of a human. As long as the artery is cut and the human's heart doesn't stop, the blood will literally squirt into your mouth with little effort.
Let's be real, I'm straight I'm married but being alive long enough you'd fall in love and lust with everyone. Your perspective would change completely.
This series is nothing like the book, but I still love it. Just a forewarning, there's a lot of upsetting material in the show that isn't because of vampire-esque things (one episode especially). I loathe that they made Daniel straight. Granted, his protestation that he was straight did give me major methinks-thou-doth-protest-too-much vibes. And the sex worker only said it was against Jesus because he didn't ask permission. In that case, it was, because consent is key!
Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on Daniel being straight, it was suggested Armand took away his memories meaning devil's minion already happened and he just doesn't remember it (yet)
@TabbyeLynne Yeah, even if they hadn't, the little smirk Louis gave at Daniel saying he was straight was almost like, "Bitch, I can read your mind. Who do you think you're fooling?"
🎬; Lestat was mad Louis didn't come back to him, so he started offing people he confided in, and when his mental stalking didn't work, (because Louis was trying to be strong) Lestat busted into the church and forced him to be with him...*(Under duress, vampire mind control, love-bombing, manipulation, etc.) He used everything he had.😏
Lol I love how the beginning fools everyone including myself. I restarted twice thinking that I was watching the wrong thing. And ftr putting it in someone sh*tbox without asking IS against Jesus.
I'm so happy you are watching the show !! I'm watching it again because its so good lol I wondered if Lestat fell in love with Louis at first sight, why did he flirt with Lilly in front of him? Do you think Lestat would have killed Louis or changed him by force if he said no ?
Although I did enjoy this TV series adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, there were so many critical points left out in relationship to the written material. Bringing the storyline into 2023 was interesting and I often wonder if the latest books Anne released are being used as reference. However, I suggest watching the actual movie to compare to the TV series, which was more true to the book.
I had only watched the movie a month ago before starting the series. They both left me intrigued and dramatically seduced. The characters to me are very similar to Twilight characters. Louis is like Edward and Jasper as Lestat reminds me of James, Carlisle, and Aro. 🧛🏻♂️🧛🏾🩸⚰️🖤❤️🩶
Hope everyone is ready for some frights! ❤
Have either of you seen the 1994 film adaptation or read the books?
That red flag counter’s going to end up with a numeric overflow before the end of the series 😂
You meant the season, I think.
@@ConradRotho In the US, a series = a season. We use the two words differently here, but in the UK, a series is what they call a season!
yeah lestat is a walking red flag, but he's so charming, it's really hard to resist 😭

Oh thank god, not sure we could take much more haha
@@AStoryWorthTellingJust get ready for a lot of blood and you'll be good!
"True Blood" is another prestige vampire series that I loved, but Anne Rice's story is older and more vampire canon.
YES! I'm so excited that the queer reactors I follow are finally starting to react to this amazing show!
This is by far one of the best first episodes of any show ever! I am so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you keep watching, I think you really will love it.

finally you meet my favorite toxic couple
like introducing my children to people every time I recommend this show lmfaoooo
Gosh I have such a hard time choosing between them and Hannibal and Graham as my favourite toxic couple

The red flag counter will combust before this series end 😂😂😂
Ahhhh, so glad y’all are watching this!! This was absolutely hilarious as always! Happy Halloween!!☺️
Lestat is a walking red flag but he's also babygirl
Nah he is hot red flag walking daddy and Louis is the spoiled with attitude baby girl baddie!
Please watch the entire season! And yes, you need to keep the red flag counter😅😂
Omg I’m so glad y’all are watching this it’s a masterpiece
Just a thought - as it concerns red flag #3: Lestat and Louis had been dating for some time prior to the church scene - they went to the opera, dinners, long walks and conversations through New Orleans, etc. Lestat never forced himself on Louis: that's why he asked if Louis would accept the "dark gift" and didn't just convert him.

I forgot how much bloody gore was in the first episode the way the rest of the show slowly turns into a domestic drama with occasional murder
I am so happy you guys are watching this and I hope you continue the show, As a gay teen in the 90;s reading Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles wich this show is based on (mainly the first book) Helped me come to terms with my sexuality, While in the books it is not out rightly said characters sexuality it is defiantly hinted at.

It's only hinted at in the first book. By second book and on, it's pretty clear they are queer.
this is such a good series, far better than the original film and Sam Reid as Lestat is brilliant. Really happy to see Anne Rice's son Christopher Rice has taken over the project since she passed away in 2021

Anne Rice’s vampires are VERY different than Twilight vampires. 😂😂😂 Enjoy!!!🧛♀️
I only came across this a couple of weeks ago but binged it and have been OBSESSED with it 😍
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO SO LONG. this series is criminally slept on and a million times better than the 90s film
The fact that y’all are wearing the capes inside out the whole time is so hilarious to me. (Also, that deep “goodbye” at the end?! Girl…..)
Alex giving off sexy Adam Lambert vibes with the eyeshadow, looking fab, both of you! Cracking video as per usual 😁😈
I laughed when Daniel said, "Maybe your story wasn't worth telling", because your name is literally, "A Story Worth Telling". You guys are a scream! Look forward to watching the rest of the series with you (unless this is just a Halloween treat)!
Are you guys watching the rest? it's a fantastic show with a lot to talk about....
This is a ride so get ready 😅
Happy Halloween! Both of you look cute and omg you are not ready for this viscerally aesthetic gay masterpiece.
After watching the full reaction on patreon you've done a bloody good job of finding bits that could actually go in the edit because I spent half the episode thinking 'will that be allowed on TH-cam?'. I screamed, gasped and laughed. Such a good episode and a wonderful reaction as always! ❤
Yessssss!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I'm genuinely so happy you guys are watching this!!! Happy Halloween!!!!
I'm so happy more people are watching this show!! It's very much gothic romance, and I think nobody's expecting it ahah

Finally getting around to watch the show myself. So naturally had to come here right after finishing the first episode 😆

There’s also an element of “Real Housewives of New Orleans” 😂
Lol

Already watched the reaction on patreon so I’m just here to see how you’ve managed to edit the gore and sexiness for TH-cam 😅
oh my god your red flag counter has me HOLLERING. on to watch y'all's reaction to ep 2 because this was a blast, thank you for doing this!
Omg I've been WAITING for this!
EDIT after watching:
Ya'll had me cracking up so damn much this episode. Can't wait to see the reactions for the rest of the series!

Did we need THAT? This is HORROR!
Wha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha ... Happy Halloween!
Personally, I dont think Lestat murdered Paul. Paul was crazy long before Lestat arrived.
I can’t wait to see yall react to the next episode! This was so great!
YESSSSSS FINALLY AN IWTV REACTION
For the record, there is no need to "suck" six liters of blood out of a human. As long as the artery is cut and the human's heart doesn't stop, the blood will literally squirt into your mouth with little effort.

Love it can't wait for your next recation
OMG! The jump scare! Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
"They're french"!!! Kkkkkkkkkkkk
Louistat are end game in the 18 book long series so I hope the show goes on for a long time!
ooh so glad you're reacting to this one, it's very good! and I think we deserve some queer monstrous love stories as much as the sweet romcoms lol
You looked thoroughly traumatized! 😮😂

They’re French! I guffawed.😝 loved this.
i love this journey for you n.n, i will b watching it all
Revisiting season one while I wait for tonight episode....
Love love love all of this🎉🎉🎉🎉
LOVED THE REACTION
this show is so gooooddd
Y'all are always so funny lol
Haven't either of you two read any of Anne Rice's book❓️ She was so talented with her prose.
The best previbing with the teeth 🦷🦷
The first season is very much Louis’s side of the story. He’s not always a reliable narrator.
I'm so happy you are watching the show !! I'm watching it again because its so good lol I wondered if Lestat fell in love with Louis at first sight, why did he flirt with Lilly in front of him? Do you think Lestat would have killed Louis or changed him by force if he said no ?

Oooooooffffff the end of the third episode will be difficult
16:25 The way I wheezed at this 😭😭
9:35 more like "don't talk about Christ in front of people with religious trauma"
I had only watched the movie a month ago before starting the series. They both left me intrigued and dramatically seduced. The characters to me are very similar to Twilight characters. Louis is like Edward and Jasper as Lestat reminds me of James, Carlisle, and Aro. 🧛🏻♂️🧛🏾🩸⚰️🖤❤️🩶
This was great! You should review the movie Queen of The Damned
"Without asking. That's against Jesus." That's rape, actually.
Human adults on average have 5 litres of blood. One of the few things you learn by watching vampire shows and movies throughout your teenage years 😬
I was going to like your video, but at the time of this comment, the likes are at 666! Perfect amount haha. I will come back and like later
Fellow travelers next
birth condition lol you guys are great
