The age of Peak TV is over.
And not in the pun-intended vampiric way Im about to describe.
Its better than the book.
Okay, you might disagree.
And Ive only readpartof thefirstbook.
Louiss race gives the character much more dimension.
As a vampire, he has a unique lens on history as he lives through the decades.
And themostimportant change this adaptation made is …
Its gay.
Vampires have always been gay, and they always will be gay.
Romance, desire, abuse, jealousy, yearning … theyre the whole point!
Its a hot and very queer show!
Its camp.
They remind you this show is really just people having fun and trying shit.Wabi-sabi,baby.
Its gory.
This show goes through gallons of corn syrup and red 40.
Very few vampire romances also count as legit horror; this is one of them.
Its crawling with undead theater kids.
Its everything Eddie RedmaynesCabaretwants to be, but it actually has teeth.
The writing,mon dieu,the writing.
And I mean that in the best way possible.
You alone, under the rising moon, can strike like the hand of God!
