AMC's Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Deep Dive: Antiheroes and The Vampire Lestat

Vampire Insider: An AMC Anne Rice's Immortal Universe After Show

In this episode, the Vampire Insider team dig even deeper into Lestat's character from the book The Vampire Lestat as well as the show. They chat a bit about the role of the antihero in the post me too universe, how the decision to make IWTV more representational has created a far more complex story especially considering the tropes the writers used around DV and SA, and they share thoughts from fans who responded on twitter to the question: What do you like about Lestat. He's so very good at being so very bad, and we all love a good antihero, but in the end the Vampire Insiders come way wondering: Is show Lestat an antihero or is he actually a villain?
