@Don'tLetTheLightGoOut
it's close to Anne Rice's novels with Anne Rice being part of the showrunners team, as well as the producers of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
i've always been fascinated with the world of vampires but they're so goddamn ****ing horny all the time, i really couldn't cope with that
here's a trailer for season 1. season 2 aired this year and it got renewed for season 3 recently.

The show instantly loses all magic when they put black vampires. Vampires are depicted with pale skin due to sensitivity to light and anemia. I can only suspend by disbelief so much before it becomes too retarded.

Louis and Claudia, the 2 black vampires in the show, are just 2 black people who got turned. it wouldn't make sense scientifically making them pale skin after they turned. aenemic and sensitive-to-light black people exist.

They are pale because they sit in dark spaces for centuries to avoid light because it can kill them. It removes the entire mystery and creepiness of vampires to retcon everything about vampires like this. The show sucks. Plus the show has a lot of gay porn and ******* are disgusting.

I thoroughly enjoyed it except for them changing Claudia to a different actress. I didn't like that actress as Claudia at all. And there were some slow parts in season two like the first 2 episodes. I didn't like the ending of the second season where Louis is taking on all the vampires. That's dumb.
But I liked how Louis was revealed to be an asshole even more than Lestat was. I felt like Louis was a selfish bastard. Lestat was just being Lestat. He wasn't all that bad of a guy. -

i agree with you on Louis and Lestat.
the actress who played Claudia first was in a deal with Cameron to work on Avatar: The Way of Water which intervened with the schedule on filming the show, so she had to quit. i didnt mind the other actress myself, but fair enough.

Man I loved that moment Lestat had with Louis where they made up and hugged. It was amazing. Great story telling about a broken relationship that needed mending. Who knew that vampires were so much like humans?
That replacement Claudia played the role totally different from the first Claudia. The first actress didn't have that awful southern accent and she was scary and cunning. The replacement brought that heavy accent and seemed to not be as scary. She didn't seem like Claudia at all. -

My buddy John reckons vampire sexuality, as represented in Bram Stoker's Dracula, reveals itself both as a phenomenon that is terrifyingly foreign to typical experience and, paradoxically, as a distorted mirror of human behavior. On the one hand, the vampire inspires a xenophobic response because his needs violate the normal limits of exogamy: he is physiologically dependent on women who are foreign to him. On the other hand, the novel undermines the very idea of the “foreign” by suggesting that even the most bizarre aspects of a vampire's sex life are strangely familiar — usually because they parody or literalize human sexuality.
My buddy John is best in small doses.

I just started it on Netflix but I'm wondering how many seasons they think they can stretch it out for. The book wasn't that long and if they don't start spilling over into Lestat's storyline the material should run out pretty quick.
