AMC's new Anne Rice series flays itself open, making raw nerves of the characters and creating an adaptation that is sexy, visceral, and self-aware.
of inspiration from the book, key plot elements have been changed to contemporize the story and make it more palatable to the modern audience. In the book, for example, Louis is a Louisiana plantation owner who allows Lestat to feed on the enslaved people that are forced to work on the grounds.
It would be difficult, if not impossible, to sympathize with the maudlin anger of this kind of character, especially if his main character tension came from his concern with becoming a good person. Considering his past sins, his immortal brooding on morality would only ever come off as annoyingly self-serving and shallow.This show is not that version of Louis.
One of the things that I admire about this series is that there are no coy glances at queerness. There is no subtext or sidelining of the queer relationship between Louis and Lestat; instead they are co-conspirators in seduction, explicitely in love and obsessed with each other. They are furious and fatal companions, and their love is nightmarish.
