In July, 13 of AMC's shows will be coming to Netflix, offering subscribers the chance to stream an impressive array of productions, including “The Walking Dead” spin-off and “Gangs of London”

This is a great opportunity for AMC to showcase some of the films it has produced in recent years However, among the films that have just become available for streaming, “Interview with the Vampire” is one that should not be missed on Netflix

In 2022, AMC, under the direction of showrunner Lorin Jones, presented a fresh and contemporary take on Anne Rice's 1976 novel of the same name The film is in part a remake and in part a sequel to the earlier work

Like its predecessor, Neil Jordan's 1994 film adaptation (starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt), this fascinating drama is primarily about the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt (here played by Sam Reid) and Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) The series depicts their tumultuous relationship

The series has been well received by critics, but not very popular If you have not yet seen Interview with the Vampire, here is some information about the series

As mentioned above, “Interview with the Vampire” follows the life of vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac Having told his story decades ago to veteran journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Boghossian), Louis summons Molloy to the present day to tell him a new life story

Within this framework, we watch as Louis's past life takes us back in time to 1910 New Orleans, where he was a wealthy brothel owner Louis meets (and soon falls in love with) Lestat de Lioncourt, a charming French vampire who eventually turns Louis into a fellow creature of the night

From there, Interview with the Vampire becomes a sprawling and engrossing drama Louis struggles with the various issues of the times, his unstable new relationships, and his vampiric impulses This is a nasty (in every sense of the word), blood-soaked Southern Gothic affair If you enjoyed Season 1 and want to see more, you're in luck Season 2 is already available for streaming on AMC+

It's a fascinating blend of genres: period drama, supernatural drama/horror, and romance, and you'll be sucked in In my eyes, it is one of the best productions I have seen in recent memory

But in the streaming age, with so much content competing for your attention, you may want to get more than one opinion before committing to a new show However, even a cursory glance at the opinions of many viewers and critics will reveal that “Interview with the Vampire” is highly regarded

Currently, both seasons of the show hold a near-perfect 98% critic rating on the critical review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes The site's consensus is this: “With a playful tone and expansive development that mellows Anne Rice's gothic epic like a blood chalice, ‘Interview with the Vampire’ has put to rest fears that the story might not be revived successfully”

Critic James Dyer, in a five-star review in Empire magazine of season one, wrote, “With four knockout performances, this is Rice's bloody and beautiful story told anew on screen With four knockout performances, this is Rice's bloody, beautiful story told anew on the screen

Steve Green of Indy Wire has similarly praised it: a structural, visual, and theatrical feast, this new version of “The Interview” is a timely and worthy entry into the canon, freed from the burden of having to simply refresh it for a new generation It is an entry into the 0]

There are also viewers who, despite its low viewer score (currently averaging 78% for the entire two seasons), are absolutely in favor of “Interview with the Vampire” Several viewers were quick to call it “the best show on television,” praising it as a compelling piece of entertainment thanks to great acting and a rich script
