Truly, Anne Rice\u2019s Interview with the Vampire on AMC and AMC+ remains one of the most ambitious horror stories to hit the airwaves in years. For it remains the first adaptation of this story that embraces Louis and Lestat\u2019s dysfunctional and dark relationship. Plus, it went one step further and leaned heavily into commentary on domestic violence and the impact that kind of trauma can have upon a person. Something that just isn\u2019t touched upon in storytelling enough, and its ambitious nature will continue in its third season.
