Interview with the Vampire - Part II

[pj1228]

So I watched the second season of Interview with the Vampire. They had split the book in half. First season ended with Louis and Claudia embarking towards Europe after leaving Lestat for dead (they thought). While the first season was interesting and well done, it was rather gory, which made it hard to watch. And I know several people gave up because of that. Apparently the makers took the criticism to heart. Season 2 doesn't have these gory scenes. Once you get through the first episode, things get very interesting from episode 2 on.
There were some really good plot twists, but also some lengths. Although, if you know the book, there are some surprises.

My personal highlight was Ben Daniels as Santiago. He was sooooo bloody brilliant, that he alone is worth watching the show.

I've decided to reread the book since it's been many years since I did that.

I still prefer the movie, but this adaptation is interesting with the changes as well.
