Alan Sepinwall What's Alan Watching? (Ghost.io) 1d
Lestat as a character is funnier this way, but he's also more tragic. The humor winds up enhancing the heavy stuff, while the darkness of it all only makes the laughter feel more welcome and necessary. Go to Full Review

It’s both wicked and charming while remaining unrepentantly dangerous. Go to Full Review
Katie Rife Inverse 3d
Its camp qualities pair well with its queerness — Interview with the Vampire is somehow gayer than ever in Season 3 — making the escapist portions of The Vampire Lestat an enjoyable ride. Go to Full Review

8.5/10
Led by Reid's mesmerizing performance, it's both a continuation of Interview With the Vampire and something entirely new all at the same time. A must-watch in every sense of the word. Go to Full Review

5/5
The Vampire Lestat is a supremely confident work, and that refusal to compromise and appeal to every possible demographic is thrilling to witness. Go to Full Review
Samantha Puc The Beat 1d
The Vampire Lestat is gayer, campier, raunchier, darker, and intentionally funnier than the first two seasons of Interview with the Vampire. ... The cast rises to a new level of the stratosphere, led by the inimitable Sam Reid. Go to Full Review

atreu73 G @RT64249060 1h Just another homosexual vampire just like Ann Rice envisioned him I guess. You do remember in the novels where Lestat had plenty of sex with other males left and right, right? You don't? Well, shame on you. See more Read all reviews
