i haven’t said anything because honestly i just didn’t even want to think about it but. wow. idk. i really don’t understand what possibly could have happened to make the show so unbelievably disappointing that i just decided yesterday i didn’t even want to see the new episode. you can blame it on me being an armand apologist all you want if that’s what you want to do to ignore the obvious and insane issues going on, but be real
i do not hate the show because it’s lestat. i was fully aware i would be watching a show about lestat. i hate it because it got weird and racist and misogynistic and frankly a bit transphobic. and the writing SUCKS, none of their conversations make much sense or really mean anything and no one seems to even listen to each other. the characters i knew for two seasons are barely there anymore. the characters they introduced (well, most of them) were boring and very strangely adapted from the books. also, hey, why is everyone so straight all the sudden?
and also one of the things that suck the most is that all the actors, including the ones they added this season, are SO fucking good and don’t deserve this 😭
