The Vampire Lestat (2026) - Season 1, Episode 1

i-know-the-enddc

what I fucking love is how tvl was written in the 80s and lestat is constantly sayinf shit like “as the kids say 🤪 that’s so rad!!” or whatever, and to me, reader of the vampire lestat in this modern age, that does NOT register the way anne rice intended it.

like it is supposed to feel jarring and insane. it is supposed to feel like lestat has been violently submerged in modern young people trends and culture and is now repeating all the new words he learned like a beautiful fresh baby. but because the book is from 1985, all I think is oh interesting huh I didn’t know that slang term even originated in the 80s how vintage how retro how lestat wow he’s so embarrassing aw aw so cute.

but amc in all their incredible genius decided that honoring anne rice’s original vision of writing an extremely modern and weird book that fully embodied the era it was written in was more important then bringing back the 80s nostalgia thing that streaming services love and it’s incredible to me. now I get to listen to lestat say shit like “labubu FOMO cosplay reddit discord Gen Z more like gen SNOOZE 🤪🤪🤪 safe space pronouns donald trump labubu tiktok dance 🕺🏻” and suddenly I understand what it felt like to be a young anne rice reader in 1985. God…. I understand.

iwtv seasons one and two was like being tucked into bed and read a heartbreaking story by Louis du pointe du lac. The Vampire Lestat is like your blackout drunk uncle trying to tell you an anecdote at a family gathering

I actually kind of love that right off the bat the reason the episode is so chaotic is because Lestat is manic and therefore his narration is manic—despite the presence of our previous guide/audience POV, Daniel. BUT. Daniel is no longer an observer, if he ever was—arguably his journalistic POV was compromised after 2x05, but now he's not a commentator, he's a player.

I also think "Louis told me" "Was Louis there in 18th century Auvergne?" Is them arguing about Daniel reading his mind. (I think Daniels mind gift could be unique—not "what am I thinking" but "what have you got way in the back")

I think Daniel's "Is it true you were a stutterer as a child?" Is like. A call to action. It's an "Are you ready now?" Daniel in Lestat 's story is not an audience representation, he IS the narrative knocking on the door. Are you ready to start from the beginning? Are you ready to look, no matter how grotesque? Is it time now? Have you gotten all the wiggles out? Were you a stutterer as a child?

And then Daniel, when not in Lestat 's presence, is A Character, not a narrative device.
