You know when there's like, a straight show and everyone's like "it's full of queer subtext between the main straight dudes, and this character is obviously autistic and they really meant to say trans rights"? And then there's a queer show and all of a sudden it's "no but they weren't sensitive about this character's trauma and the queer sex scenes are too short and they're all problematic as fuck, i can't even watch"? And then our shit doesn't get renewed, and we hated on it the whole way for not embodying the perfection we'd never dream of demanding from the straight show?

Yeah, something like that

tvl fails so badly narratively because after two seasons of exploring themes of memory and trauma and grief and four years of discussing said things we are suddenly dropped somewhere with 5 nonsensical framing devices all stacked on top of each other, actions with no real consequences that are given no context, and two second clips of the actual events of the book it’s pretending to adapt. i feel bad for everyone who read tvl between seasons. i feel bad in general.

the season started in media res while also being 90% exposition, relying on shock humor, already dated references to current-ish events, and a gag at the end of every episode that winds up being immensely inconsequential. they do so little with the characters. and i do not care if this is how lestat sees people. if i wanted an un-interrogated narrative, i would read an anne rice book.

there’s a world where tvl had goth music and gnc gabrielle and onscreen wolves and the french revolution and nickistat discussions of good & evil and magnus's white supremacist beliefs and armand chopping off nicki's hands and lesmand incestuous brothers who hate each other and dm slowburn with flashbacks and a proper exploration of louis's grief and real loustat conflict and a meaningful revisit of the trial and lestat taking accountability for his actions and akasha waking up and the talamasca doing literally anything at all and a framing structure that made sense AND lestat serving rockstar cunt but in a thematically appropriate way. and that world is so beautiful
