did you see that article from a journalist who was praising season 2 but never once mentioned assad zaman. his name simply doesnt appear in the entire article. and delaine hayles gets literally tossed in in only one sentence. i am so sick of how the general audience and big publications treat this show and the non white actors, i am just done.

Oh ya, the one that puts his photo on the article cover but doesn't mention him at all by name.

‘Interview with the Vampire’

The latest resurrection of Anne Rice’s soul-shaking gothic novel continued to pull off small miracles in Season 2, delivering more exquisite melodrama through the most self-possessed vampiric finger-pointing ever put on prestige television. Capitalizing on the instant chemistry we’d already seen oh-so-formidably established between Jacob Anderson’s Louis de Pointe du Lac and Sam Reid’s Lestat de Lioncourt — as cunningly framed by Eric Bogosian’s titular inquirer, Daniel Molloy — the sophomore installments of “Interview with the Vampire” culminated in one of the year’s best episodes before an equally satisfying finale that suggested its own answer when asking, “Did you hurt yourself?”

Showrunner Rolin Jones has long had viewers in a chokehold with his show’s overt casting genius (still no small feat in the wake of the beloved 1994 film), and he made not just good but gold on the promise of Anderson and Reid’s crackling connection with a taut he said-he said that quietly healed nearly 50 years of tortured readership with its algebraic climax and very literary conclusion. Not for wont of bloody spectacle, “IWTW” Season 2 resulted in a poetic reunion that saw two of TV’s most mesmeric performers staring into each other’s depths for a masterclass in narrative table setting. It’s also a spectacular ode to indulgent theatricality and performance that seriously considers the complexities of trauma, abuse, and time with finesse. Toss in the remarkably successful recasting of Claudia (well done, Delaine Hayles!) and AMC’s flagship dark romance remains a testament to the everlasting pull of the angst-ridden undead… and Rice’s continually bewitching universe of feeling, of course. —AF
