it’s crazy cuz you know what would have helped this season tremendously. PUTTING LESTAT AND ARMAND TOGETHER TO HAVE AN ACTUAL CONVERSATION. you know. like they did in the FAMOUS BOOK THE VAMPIRE LESTAT.

A gothic horror show with a chilling twist: the horror is reserved exclusively for the Black characters.

Are you into watching Black characters suffer for no reason other than shock value? Are you into watching Black characters be tortured, then made to apologize to their abusers? Are you into Black characters being told that slavery is in their DNA? Are you into watching Black characters be branded like cattle by their torturer and abuser? Are you into watching Black characters be brutalized, humiliated, and blamed for their own suffering? Do you enjoy victim-blaming? What about abuse apologia? Are you drawn to narratives that seem more interested in excusing these things than condemning them?

If so, then The Vampire Lestat, streaming on AMC+, is the show for you. You'll love it.

And don't feel bad. After all, it's just fiction, and fiction has nothing to do with the real world. We all live in a vacuum, right?
