Jumping the broom is an African-American wedding tradition. Enslaved people were not legally allowed to marry so jumping the broom in the ceremony was the symbolic way of signing the marriage license. It’s a still living tradition. Great reaction!
Holy shit thank you for sharing!
It may also be from old English folklore having read Terry Pratchett “I shall midnight”. He based his narrative on folklore and I had never heard of or it before.
@@dh-c1717 Naw it was the first one
@@ClarusPolaris You’re very welcome!

In the book, it was Louis's brother who 'fell' down some stairs and died. They changed it to a wife and unborn child for the movie because they needed a little more 'no-homo' for the film.
Yeah because the studio execs in the 90s were threatening to cancel it because it was too gay. Good thing David Geffen was gay and let them make it as homoerotic as possible without explicitly saying it
The studio execs also took out a lot of the overt gayness in the scripts too. Cher was originally asked to play the role of Louis, but she respectfully declined.
They actually did the tap dancing themselves. They originally had doubles, but then... The pandemic... So they learned to tap mostly over Zoom.
The switch from the wedding to the suicide was one of the best things I've seen in terms of emotional turnaround. And it doesn't feel cheap or gratuitous at all, it has so much weight. And it really helps us empathize even more intensely with Louis' pain
So disagree about the Daniel master class shit at the beginning, I think it’s so grounding. The guy who’s a Pulitzer winning semi retired journalist who is estranged from his family is the exact guy who signs the master class contract and that plus the Parkinson’s is the exact guy who receives those tapes with the audio of Louis attacking him and flies to Dubai to follow up. It is believable that Daniel is there and that their conversations are happening in our world, which provides such a delicious contrast to the uncertainties of the Louis story. Daniel ends up the truth anchor/expert audience proxy and it’s awesome
you ate this
Yes!! Daniel is main character number 3 (slash 4) of this show at all points, and he needs the focus. It pays off REAL well too.
People are willfully ignoring that Anne Rice was a producer on this show when she died last December. Her son is still a producer on it as well. She was completely on board and excited for the show. She (according to her son) felt that this dived more into her story than the original story had. More true to the spirit of the story.
Her son is not a producer. I used to think this info as well and I myself accidentally have spread this misinformation. Both Anne and Chris had little to do with this beyond early pitches and selling AMC the rights. Anne died before the show went into production. And then while Chris WAS set to produce, he had mysteriously cut ties. I follow his FB page and he hasn't posted anything about it at all despite being active and talking about his late mom, Anne Rice. I have a feeling he signed and NDA and is sadly not happy with where the show has gone, cause NDA's only prevent you saying negative things, not positives or promoting the show. The other rumor is that Chris had written the pilot originally but AMC scrapped it, hence the leaving. Creative differences. I feel conflicted about this.
Basically though just be careful what info you spread when it comes to Word Of Mouth. Not berating you or anything, like I said, I spread this misinformation myself by accident before. But yeah, if you go and look on Chris Rice's official page, and do digging, you'll find Anne was excited pre-production, but she died before they even started filming, and lots can change in between then.
You might want to edit this with clarification or delete this at this point given how many likes this is getting. That’s how misinformation spreads. 😬 People see stuff like this then repeat it, most of the time without doing research. Not your fault though you didn’t realize.
i saw their names as producers. i hate purist book fans. Im glas the show was written this way regardless.
@@loustat4037 You are looking at outdated information omg the amounts of likes this had acquired alarms me. I have been a fan and have personally followed Chris and Anne on their page and I even went to comic con with Chris and I’m gonna visit Anne’s grave next year. He always responds negatively and redirects all questions to AMC.
This is scary how fast misinformation spreads I’m feeling my heart ache like Anne Rice literally died last year and why does everyone think it’s OK to not do actual research my god… I feel like I’m failing Anne because not a lot of people are speaking up. It doesn’t matter if you like the show it’s not about that this is about a Family Legacy and the legacy of the vampire book genre in general (Anne is the OG writer that made vampires beautiful).
The things that were changed… I’m not surprised if this didn’t get Chris’ blessing because Lestat was based off of her husband Stan and Claudia on her deceased daughter.
Respect authors this is disgusting. And it’s even more disgusting if OP saw my comments and didn’t delete.
Like the show all you want but once you start WILLINGLY spreading FALSE information you are a part of the problem.
Do your digging beneath the surface. Also if Chris is listed as a producer it’s a legal footnote their lawyers probably had to keep in if he contributed in any way. That could mean he contributed for 2 weeks, they scrapped everything, and then he parted ways quietly.
The man worked super close with his mother and they collaborated. He is a writer himself too and there’s rumors he’ll finish the books his mom was writing. That’s how close they were.
Chris is the only person who can now speak for the deceased Anne Rice and you won’t even look for the truth.
Like the show all you want it’s great production value, but do not go around disrespecting the dead author and her family by making it seem like he’s okay with this adaptation when he clearly isn’t! He promotes EVERYTHING they’ve created. If he approved of this he’d publicly say so and be promoting it as well.
Like the shows you like but have respect for the dead and spreading a message that makes it sound like Chris and Anne Rice approved of this.
Also FYI my qualms on this show have nothing to do with what you all probably think. I was a HUGE supporter and outspoken defender of the show until the end of episode 5. Anyone complaining about race is an asshole. My problems began when they diverged from the book and made Lestat a domestic abuser who pulverized Louis. When they made Claudia go through SA and the “writer” of the show said it was necessary in the after interview to ‘toughen’ claudia up.
None of these things happened in the books and these characters were based off her family!
@@loustat4037 The only thing I’ve got from this fandom now is that no one gives a crap about domestic abuser survivors!!!! ‘Book purists’ maybe ASK people why they’re upset about changes! The racist assholes who are upset about THOSE changes can go rot - but if people have problems solely after episode 5 it had to do with being abuse victims!!!!
The present day stuff becomes a lot stronger once their characters are developed more. The journalist combative relationship with Louis is great
I love that. Some were complaining that he's old now, but there's no way a young, wet behind the ears reporter could challenge a friggin' vampire. I love old people who just don't give a f*ck and say whatever the hell they want.
For real… and the fact that he is facing his own mortality while sitting across from a vampire who not only is older than him and will live in past him, but also remembers him exactly how he was in his lowest point of his life. That’s gotta sting at least a little.
I like the source material a lot, but I do disagree, the modern stuff in the books always was really clunky to me, I much prefer all the backstory.
@@daroe2340 I'm only talking about the show, I haven't read the books. I've liked the present day stuff in the show for the most part, they don't spend too much time on it
Everything they changed to adapt this was so meticulous and well crafted, it makes it such a relevant tale and still keeps the soul and bones of the source material. Love this
100% the show seems familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
agree, EXCEPT for Lestat's bloody face while "eating".... i didn't think it was a mess like that the way it's described in the books. i'm good with everything else lol, idk why that 1 thing is bugging me...
@@ijustwanttolikecomments4677 True but Lestat was in a rage he hates religion and Louis was trying to get away from him. I didn't mind it at all shows the savage he can be.
@@nebulous8389 yeah, it was just the 1 thing that stuck out to me and didnt feel "true to the source" lol. but im not one to let that stop me from enjoying it :)
RIP Miss Lily she was a true ally
A fabulous one too
I love the book and the 90s movie, but I think this interpretation might be even better, especially Louis and Lestat’s relationship. I’m obsessed
Y’all talking about how bisexual you are while watching this is so relatable and it will only continue as you continue with this show… 😅😂
This is such a great show. Jacob Anderson is giving the performance of a lifetime as Louis. Deep, soulful, and heartbreaking. Then Sam Reid's Lestat is like a cartoon bunny on crack and both are perfect. 🤣🤣
Every episode is this quality. And even better. The season finale was chefs kiss. You're in for a treat. Sam Reid literally is Lestat, it's crazy how he nails every nuance of this character. And Jacob Anderson is just amazing as Louis... past Louis and present Louis are so different, like two different people, it's very impressive.
I'm so glad you guys are starting this! Yeah, the performances are fantastic, Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid just get better and better with each episode. Sam's take on Lestat just has such an interesting balance of elegance and intensity and it's so entertaining to watch. I was also surprised to find out that wasn't his real accent, I actually expected him to be French. Then again, I'm not French, so I'm probably not the best judge of that lol.
And Jacob, oh my god. He's just so good. It's so fun seeing the contrast of present-day Louis and past Louis, they're practically different characters.
It takes a specific and versatile type of actor to capture the Vampire Lestat. And Sam is incredible! He learned French, and Italian for this role. He also actually can sing!
Both of them need to be nominated for Emmy's for his show. Honestly, I don't know which one of them should win. They both are brilliant in this.
from what i heard from actual french people, sam’s accented english is very good, but his french not so much 😂
Jacob is british so he did well with black people new orleans accent. i was shoxked when i heard him talk in interviews
I didn't realize HOW BADLY I needed you both to react/review to this show!!!!!! Can't wait for you both to see the rest of it, this show is FANTASTIC!
This show is amazing. Jacob Anderson as Louis is so much better than Brad Pitt while Sam Reid’s was a different attack than Tom Cruise’s camping it up. I appreciate that performance but as a character study, Sam’s version seems better.
And good news, season 2 has been greenlit. Let’s go!
Anne was surprised at Tom Cruises Lestat. She didnt think he would do a good job. She said he got the power, charisma and humor of Lestat. I think Tom was excellent especially since it was the first Live action Lestat. But Sam's Lestat obviously has more depth, and is more sinister and unhinged. Apparently hes a huge fan of the books.
Doesn't hurt that Reid's Lestat has a French accent.
@@nebulous8389 I also think it helps that he was given more time to express Lestat as a character, Both were incredible actors in the part of Lestat
Jacob Anderson deserves all the awards for this first episode alone. But what's more surprising is that his performance gets better and better. He really brought his A-game from the beginning to the end of this show. No spoilers, but the finale of the show is mind-blowing. In particular, Jacob Anderson and Eric Bogosian. 🤯 Still haunted by THAT SCENE.
So glad you guys are watching this! It isn’t just a love letter to Anne Rice and the Vampire Chronicles but just to Vampire mythology. It takes the heart and soul of the book series and makes it fresh for fans of the books and newbies alike. It has the camp and dark humor I loved in the movie, the romance is breathtaking and it’s sexy as FUCK! I binged the whole thing and you will love it. It will make you laugh and cry; sometimes for the same reasons and sometimes for different reasons. I do wonder how they will utilize the story telling between Louis and Lestat and when they go their separate ways. Will Lestat not be seen or will he have a separate storyline that is completely different? I am excited for season two. Jacob Anderson who plays Louis is amazing, he was a rapper turned actor and hats off to him! Sometimes people aren’t able to transition from one creative outlet to the other but it was really well done. Sam Reid as Lestat is LESTAT!!! Also, watch out for Claudia when she comes in the scene. Bailey Bass is electric.
To say this series blew me away would be understandment .I was not ready for how good this show was gonna be.
that pilot episode was so solid and gets better
Lestat is a monster. A beautiful monster, but a monster nonetheless.
They lean into his worst tendencies here and I love it
Naaaahhh. He's not really. He just has some issues.
This is my new favorite show of the moment- so happy so many people are reacting to it! Great video
Jumping the broom is something that us African-Americans do at weddings. It's traditional and doesn't involve witchcraft. It's an open declaration of settling down into married life.
Thanks for the info! I was definitely curious. I love how there's so many different wedding traditions in the world. My family is very Italian-American so it's very similar to 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding', so I love seeing how other cultures do things. 😀
@@NicoleM_radiantbaby we had to do it because we couldn't legally be married tho
YASSS YAYYYY THIS IS SUCH A FUCKING GOOD SHOW I LOVE IT ID SELL MY KIDNEYS FOR IT TO CONTINUE , BOTH OF THEM
You don't have to! Season 2 is coming!!!
Wait, legit is there a season two coming because I thought it was just over and all we had was the new witch show. Is this real life season two going to happen?
On one hand, this show does a great job in showing you from the get-go what you're in for - on the other, you've seen nothing yet. I cannot underline enough that it goes HARD on both the horror aspects and heavy subject matters. Be prepared
Incredible show you are in for a treat! It's already renewed for a 2nd season. Also another show Mayfair Witches with Alexandra Daddario is in the same universe. Which is coming out this Jan!!
this show was such surprise for me. huge fan of Anne Rice's books for years... initially didn't like changes they seamed to make and there are quite many changes. but show won me over so fast. such beautiful storytelling, beautiful writing with some memorable lines, cinematography, gorgeous sets and costumes, and especially main actor's performances. the show was such a treat to me. In recent years usually when producers change source material it's always worse but here many changes actually made the story better
p.s. guys go on your honeymoon!!!! 😁😁😁
I'm so glad you guys did this one! I've been saying it's good over on TwitterofTime, but it's hard to explain just how good it is. I hope more people discover this show because it's absolutely knocking it out of the park.
Completely agree. I feel most people are still reluctant to even give it a try due to all the early hate train. It’s slowly changing peoples minds and I’m so glad.
I'm soooo HAPPY you two are reacting to IWtV !!!!
One episode down. Sin more to go.
I'm so glad you're reacting to Interview with the vampire.
I'm simply obsessed with this show.
My expectations were under the floor for this because vampire media has not been great in the last years but I was captivated from the first to the last episode of the series.
I actually think this might be my favorite thing I've seen this year so I'm looking forward to your take on it.
Love your reactions. Fasten your seatbelts, the season is quite a ride. As a Black Gay Man who has had a love for vampire media since i first saw Bela Lugosi as Dracula when I was a little kid, I have been waiting for this show most of my life. I am obsessed. I need them to start filming season two last week. Lol. Side note: Trigger warning for episode 5.
I so appreciate your honest and candid reactions and commentary. You two really showed multiple emotions and it’s just the first episode! I hope you guys continue to react to this show.
Awesome reactions yall I was hoping you both would react to this. This was personally one of my favorite pilots this year. Jacob Anderson's as Louis is amazing and that church scene at the end was just so good.
The incorporation of race was really well done here and absolutely enriched Louis' character on the show. I much prefer TV Louis over book Louis who is frankly way too passive for my likely especially for being the main character of the book.
Can't wait for the rest of the episodes! It's one of the show that surprised me the most this year, i was not expecting liking it that much gdlkgjdf
About the mom blaming louis, something that i didn't realize until it was pointed out to me is how louis's sexuality is already a big point of controversy in that family, and so his mom already had very mixed feelings about louis, so the fact that he was there when it happened, blaming him is a way for her to transfer all of her anger at him for being homosexual without confronting it.
This show is absolutely fantastic!! I binged the whole thing and I can't wait until the next season. You guys are in for a ride.
the show is great
Wow! What a great reaction/review! This show has its spindly roots in me and I love seeing thoughtful audience members like y’all embracing it for all it’s worth. Fun fact: Jacob Anderson learned the tap dancing routine over Zoom while he had COVID, and when it came time to film the scene the dance doubles were sent home, so you were correct in spotting that it is actually the two actors doing the entire routine!
Slaves weren't allowed to legally marry, so jumping the broom was a way of getting married. It's still a tradition some black Americans follow during their nuptials.
i’m so glad i found your channel, and i can’t wait to see your reactions to the rest of the season! It was very entertaining how engaged you were with all the different aspects of the episode.
In the behind the scenes episode, you can tell how much research the costume and set design put in, they even had their shoes handmade and Liberty St. is two blocks worth of a constructed set in a giant backlot. All of the outside shots of Lestat’s townhouse were on location at the actual historical building Anne based his house on.
Just found your channel and I really like your reaction to this show. All I have to say is get ready, you guys aren’t ready for this season. The actors did an amazing job on this show. Everyone is waiting for season 2!
Jacob Anderson is spectacular in this👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great reaction.Thank you for reacting to this series, I am obsessed the show, the acting and the chemistry of the actors are phenomenon.
This is such an incredible series, I'm so excited for you to see all of this! This story is so full of life (if I can say that), and all the different sides of human emotions and they explore those things so fully.
Fantastic reaction! The show gets better and better with every episode.
I love this show so far. I'm on episode 6 I think. Greyworm is so damn good! I made a comment about this show on another TH-camr's channel and I immediately got a bunch comments saying that the show sucks, etc. People are just haters.
Grey worms acting is amazing. Hes an incredible Louie!...I'm a reader of the books and love this show! Some fans will never like it and I understand but the performances and story telling are top notch! The Vampire Lestat is something else 🙄 not too get too much into but wow he has sooo much depth to him.
@@nebulous8389 I like that it's so different from the book! I like that I don't know exactly how something is going to happen. I've been reading the books for 22 years and I watched the movie plenty of times. I like that the show is new.
@@akellerhouse83 I read 7 of the books! Anne is one of my fave writers of all time And although I was very critical of the time change I absolutely loved it!....its feels familiar yet unfamiliar and that's what makes it intriguing!
the actor's name is jacob anderson!
If this show was on HBO people would say it's great and if it was on Netflix they'd say it's very good for Netflix' standards lol I think amc really nailed it with buying the rights to this, it has potential to become one of their most popular shows if they can market it cause I think it's amazing
Bit late but here goes. The church scene was done in a real 150 year old church. There is a very good 42 minute video of Behind the scenes of INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, it shows how they made the streets, Lestat's residence, the contacts they wear which by the way makes them nearly blind, the nails they wear right down to all the blood. Don't vampires ever wash? A nice scene of Lestat and Louis bathing together in a claw footed bath would have been nice to watch. Another chance at seeing Sam Reid's nice tush again as he stands up.
Thank you for reacting to this show! It really needs more recognition it’s a brilliant series. It’s my top favorite release this year.
This show is INCREDIBLE!!! As you guys can see lol. I'm happy you guys are reacting to it! I wish the show was getting more recognition and praise.
I really like this re-telling of the novels its different enough that it keeps me hooked
As someone who just watched the season finale... this show is amazing! The entire cast, the sets and the way the reveals come. So well done!
This series is more akin to the spirit and tone of the books. Please set aside comparisons with the movie. I liked the movie but even back then realized something was missing tonally. Also, Anne (prior to her passing) & her son were producers and approved what they're doing in this series.
Loved your reaction. Especially the big-hearted reaction to Paul's suicide. Hope your chairs have seatbelts. You're both in for a wild ride!
Wow, you guys had a wild ride with this. 😅 (I mean, it IS a wild ride.) Also kinda cute there you thought Lily's death was going to be a secret/big reveal at the season's finale. Strap yourselves in because it's going to get so much more intense. I'm excited to see more of your reactions!
Since you are subscribed to AMC plus, here are two more shows to watch (on your own, or on here). Being Human is about a werewolf, Vampire, and Ghost who are roommates and trying to navigate the mortal world, the other is a sci-fi show Moonhaven, which is about earth using the moon to try out new technologies, to save post apoplectic earth.
I've seen all of Being Human, but Moonhaven I will have to check out!
The Lestat we're seeing in this show is more the Lestat from the other books than the original. Anne wrote that original book in grief and Louis shared that. Louis is NOT A RELIABLE NARRATOR. Hell that's the whole premise of this show... The first interview was wrong/jaded/bitter. So now he's' telling it with some more distance.
In some ways this reminds me of the short-lived Dracula show from 2013-2014, with Jonathan Rhys Meyers. They managed to balance the powerful charisma and animalistic brutality of the vampire. I was so sad when that Dracula show was canceled, but this looks like it will fill that space, and perhaps do it even better.
Author Anne Rice advised on this series but died before it was released for television. Watch the director and cast behind the scenes clips for the series. The New Orleans street was recreated. It was near the French Quarter.
this react was fun to watch. and i agree the acting was great. while i do agree this show is way different from the book, i also believe this show fully embodies the spirit of anne rice's book. louis and lestat's love....louis' conflict....chef's kiss. it's interesting how they've changed daniel and i wonder how he will continue to change.
the show is amazing, i'm obsessed! glad more ppl are reacting to it 😌
I LOVE your reactions to this! I get so emotionally invested in the shows I love and it's so fun seeing other people getting just as deep into a great story. Instant subscribe, can't wait to see you two react to more episodes.
I’m so excited for you guys to react to this. I’m going to watch your reaction when I get home later.
The camera lens cup/mug is EVERYTHING
So excited for this reaction series! Love you both and adore this show!!!
SO glad you reacted to this! Hope you guys will also do season 2 of this (and there will be a season 3.)
The acting in this show was amazing. The actor that plays Lestat especially. Mind blowing.
Love this show. Prime has AMC 7day free trial and thought I'd give it a try. Did not disappoint. It definitely give me Curious Case of Benjamin Button vibes which is one of my favorite movies. Great narration, and with the New Orleans culture on full display was just the icing on the cake.
Guys, I mean... that's freaking Grey Worm from GoT. So well done, and so happy with this adaptation that I never would have even heard of if I hadn't seen your thumbnail.
Any time Louis is the POC character, as in this series, Lestat is the villain. Any time Lestat is the POV (i.e. the rest of the books) Lestat is the hero. I tend to lean toward Louis' viewpoint. Lestat has grown very comfortable in his nature as a killer at this point, while Louis is ever the idealist. Lestat has, to be fair, taken to only killing the evil by the late 90s, so those like Lilly shouldn't be scared in this era.
Dayum, Greyworm!! Tremendous performances all around.
It was Kirsten Dunst who played Claudia in the movie, not Drew Barrymore. 😁😁
I really enjoyed the first episode ! I hope Jacob Anderson gets nominated for an ward because the acting is outstanding. I wondered if Lestat fell in love with Louis at first sight, why did he flirt with Lilly in front of him? Also, I was disturbed how he was calling Louis during his brother's service then followed him to the church yikes. Please note that I haven't read the books but I plan too :)
Because he couldn't flirt with Louis in public so he had to use her, also Lestat is very bisexual and doesn't see what's wrong to fuck whoever he wants whenever he wants, he is in love with Louis only but that doesn't mean he'll be faithful
So excited you guys are doing this! This and Sandman are my two favorite shows to come out this year.
I'm glad you guys are watching this show. I enjoyed the first season a lot. Of course they are able to do a lot more in the show with the books than the movie. But I know that there are some things that they adjusted for the sake of the narrative. Either way, I feel like they did a really good job and I was totally immersed and invested in all of the characters throughout the entire season. I can't wait until you guys watch the whole thing and get to the end.
Really excited to see you guys react to the rest of the season! Subscribed :)
“We got places to go“ this is going to be a fun, to be a long night for me and I can’t wait for every second of it.
I haven’t even stopped long enough to look at your other content, but this gives me very much American horror story vibes, and I, LOVE IT.
I am a mega American horror story
Hey you two! Just joined ya'll. Enjoyed the reaction and this "Vampire" is awesome! The actors are great and Jacob Anderson puts a very good twist on an old story. If you watched GOT, he was Grey Worm on the series, also he portrayed a very interesting character. Look forward to watching this with ya'll!
I am happy more people are reacting to this show!! It honestly the best show ever!! I am obsessed with the show.
I think the biggest difference between this telling and previous ones - the book and the movie was that... Lestat really does love Louis before he turns him. Before, he sees Louis, one night - bites him, makes him the offer and then turns him, like the next night. In this one, Louis catches his attention by pulling the knife on his brother. Then they ACTUALLY START DATING. He actually gets to know Louis and falls for him. They have conversations. They go to the opera. HE MEETS HIS FAMILY. This goes on for months, before the church scene. You say, 'manipulation'... but it's manipulation as far as any dating is.
As for the violence... Lestat REALLY has a hate for the church - as he hints at. So to find Louis seeking solus in the place he hates so much instead of coming to him, REALLY pisses him off. Lestat is also from a place and time, where Louis being black doesn't make him see him as less. In fact, Lestat very much hates the way Louis is treated in America, just for being black. It's part of his pitch to make him a vampire.
@mavenCree, I agree with everything you say here, except I think there is an intentional manipulation here, that goes beyond just the normal dating . He isolated Louis and pressed his advantage when he knew Louis was at his most vulnerable, and withheld the full implications of what it means to be a vampire.
What an incredible reaction!! You two are amazing!!
Just an FYI refresher, the brother's death was actually in the books. That is what actually sends Louis into his downward spiral depression we see in the original movie. He wasn't married in the books.
As a diehard fan of Anne Rice, I am so excited for this version of Interview of the Vampire. It is exciting. I also agree with you in regards to the start. It was off in regards to the story. But, once I recalled that he is the original Interviewer from way back when...well, it was a "this is where he is now" moment. But, still feel like it wasn't needed.
Again, I am so excited for this show. Which makes me even more excited for The Mayfair Witches series. That means we will be getting all of the crossovers. AND, I will be able to see one of my favorite characters, the Vampire witch, Merrick Mayfair. I can't wait!!!
Great reaction!!!! 👍🏽😃
If you read the books you know Daniel has a rome of himself to play on the main story after the interview is done and the time jump on the show makes me think a certain part of it has already happened but someone erased his mind
show is good 🔥🔥💯
Looking forward to watching the rest of your reaction! This show did not disappoint.
YESSSSS..... I'm glad two of my favorite reactors are FINALLY watching this
Thank you! That is really kind of you to say!
it's the truth!! . You 2 are special.. and you're both pretty
I started watching this series 3 days ago...saw episode 1.... then yesterday,...episode 2..... then binged the rest last night. BEST TV show in the Horror Genre I have seen in a LONG time.
The Two main leads make both Tom Cruise and Bradd Pitt, look like student actors that should be taking notes from these two.
Jumping the broom is something a lot of African-Americans do because during slavery they were allowed to get married so they would jump the broom and that will be there like ceremony thing because they didn’t get to like sign a contract or papers or whatever you have to sign at the end of a wedding so jump the broom
Loved your reaction to this opening episode and I'm looking forward to the rest of them for the season! And yes, the acting is fantastic!
Also something I found after rewatching that the bit in the beginning actually ties in so well even though when you first watch it feels clunky
Omg this series is going to blow your minds!!!!!!…I’m really going to enjoy watching your reaction to it.
absolutely loved yalls reaction! definitely one of my faves. Never seen yall before, definitely subbing now. Love an unapologetically bi couple tbh
lol, When you said, 'Lestat what you doing', I automatically said, mentally stalking the heck out of him, to where it was driving him crazy!!...😏
💭 Lestat stalked Louis before they met and went to all of Louis regular hang-outs (like with Miss. Lily, and at the card game, etc.) just to try and get with Louis., He used vampire telepathy, manipulation, seduction, and major love-bombing on Louis from the jump!... (long story short.; Louis was forced into the relationship (under duress). / but I still❤, their❤!
tbh i was so sure this show would be cringe but i was pleasantly blown away
I’m not even 10 minutes in and I’m totally subscribed. Sending love to you and yours from Orlando Florida.
Also a little 411 for you. When Louis is having breakfast with his family and Paul makes fun of tiger sister saying) “plenty of brooms as the Mayfair sisters home” it was a wink at the Anne Rive books The Mayfair Witches which AMC also bought and has developed into a separate show within the Immortal Universe series called THE MAYFAIR WITCHES that will premiere on AMC & AMC+ on January 9 2023. So it’s hunting that though Thais is a vampire show of the Vampire Chronicles, the witches ARE around in the same city and universe etc. all of which I love!!! It’s all slowly linked together just like the MCU movies which the AMC show/series creators are taking their blueprint from for this Immortal Universe series.
Great reaction........ (actually the best i have ever seen). Remember though that the Title of series is taken from title of Anne's first book of the Vampire Chronicles. The writers and show runners actually have all 17 novels to work with. More than one book was referenced in the pilot. Also a reference to Anne's Mayfair Witches series was in there too. (That show starts in January). So the complaints that this series is not following Anne's book is just short sighted. She and her Son are listed as executive producers. The cast and scripts had her input before she passed last year. So it will be a wild ride. Anne was a very innovative writer. She was always refreshing her characters. Her spirit is all over this project. And that is a good thing.
Haven't watched episode 1 yet, and was waiting to see what y'all thought, so this is now on my watch list. I actually have AMC anyway because we were watching Discovery of Witches, so I'm watching this one for sure. Can't wait to follow along with y'all 😘
There is another show called Mayfair witches in the same universe of Interview. Check out the trailers looks amazing too.
@@nebulous8389 will do! 😁
@@juliegibson-2020 Alexandra Daddario is the main character. I loveeee that actress too! It looks really creepy and intriguing hah! Also I watched 3 episodes of Discovery of Witches and loved it. I gotta catch up!
YAYYYYYYYYYYY! So glad you're doing this one!!!
Yes!!!, more reactors for IWTV
So glad you are watching this! I too was hesitant to watch it but gosh it's so good and it's get better by the episode!
Making Louie black at the time when this took place, is effing important, because it makes true New Orleans and Baton Rouge Louisiana.
Its so amazingly addictive, right?!?
5:12 a little casual French there, I love that you recognize that because I lived in Louisiana for a spell
26:40 the book fans saying “this isn’t Anne’s novel” are misinformed. She retconned a lot of the first book when she decided to make it a series based on Lestat. The changes made do not change the characters and Anne wrote another book about the free people of color in New Orleans and I think they pulled from that for the Louis and Claudia changes and it works very well. Also she and her son signed off on everything before filming began so this is still her story and her work. The racists can stay mad because Jacob is even more like book Louis than Brad was.
This show is by far my Favorite this year taking the upper hand on Chucky😭 omg I'm in love and this coming from someone who stans the movie from years ago ever since I was little which I probably shouldn't have watched and never read the novels😂 But this show is the sh!t.
And can I also say as this is my first time on ur channel that I love the chemistry you 2 have honestly, that's the secret of having a perfect relationship and that's understanding who exactly ur partner is and you both seem to know each other very well God bless❤.
