      > we finally know who will tackle the role of Akasha, The Great Mother and Queen of the Damned, in “The Vampire Lestat.” “The Woman King” and “Bruised” actress Sheila Atim will don the fangs as the ancient, terrifyingly powerful mother of vampires in the series, which offers the next installment in AMC’s stunning “Interview With the Vampire” adaptation.

      > They also debuted new footage and announced several more names joining the cast: “Schitt’s Creek” star Noah Reid as Larry, Ryan Kattner (who is also a music supervisor on the series) as Salamander, Seamus Patterson as Alex and Sarah Swire as TC, which seems to be an abbreviation for Lestat’s bandmate Tough Cookie, as she’s called in the book.

      > They join previously announced cast members Jennifer Ehle as Gabriella, Ella Ballentine as Baby Jenks, Jeanine Serralles as Christine Claire, Christopher Heyerdahl as Marius and Damien Atkins as Magnus.

      this … is actually so good. I’m scared of the height of my expectations, you know?

      it’s more of a “the vampire Lestat ft Jacob Anderson” to me, but sure. I’ll take a seat

      The way that they NAIL the vibe of a documentary where everyone is insane. They went all in. This is like Velvet Goldmine meets The Sweatbox, courtesy of Grey Gardens.

      + I love the meta textual elements, making us wonder how unreliable of a narrator the past two seasons were.

      This is some of the best television being made right now, especially of an adaptation. It both loves the books its from, as well as elevating them to a new level, making a full and thoughtful experience which embraces all the elements while adding nuance and social commentary. Probably the best adaptation of anything I’ll ever see.

      This looks as articulate and stimulating as an episode of Jerry Springer. It’s a bombastic headache. Imagine Queen of The Damed, only Lestat has a TBI and a raging cocaine addiction. Sam Reid is a beautiful man, but this garbage is as seductive as a punch in the face. Downvote me into hell for all I care, it’s a fuck no.

      Totally cool if y’all love it, more for you. I’m only one strong opinion. I appreciate your differences, they make the world go round 🌍❤
