It’s only the first episode of Interview With the Vampire, but if you are a Vampire Chronicles fan, there’s something strange about this characterization.After the first episode ends it becomes even more clear that this apartment, which is made of concrete, isolated, and full of incredible art, feels wrong for Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson).

Join me) you might have noticed that I’ve been working through an all-consuming obsession with AMC’s new series, Interview With the Vampire. You might think to yourself, “wasn’t that a kind of cheesy, not-gay-enough movie in the ‘90s?” and you’d be right. But you would also be wrong.

Image: AMCThis week’s episode of AMC’s Interview With the Vampire starts with Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) observing a piece of art that does not really exist.
