Beauty in Black, which will span 16 hour-long episodes in its first season, centers on two women leading very different lives: While Kimmie is struggling to make a living after her mother kicked her out, Mallory is running a successful business, and the two find themselves entangled in each other’s lives.

Near the end of the premiere of Interview With the Vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac declared, “The vampire is bored.” But were you? Before you weigh in on AMC’s series adaptation of Anne Rice’s 1976 novel, let’s recap the first episode, along the way pondering whether, as its title implied that it would, it left us “In Throes of Increasing Wonder.”
In the present, Louis (Jacob Anderson) invited investigative journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) into his luxe coffin penthouse to redo the Q&a that had gone so awry nearly 50 years earlier. As the blood-sucker began retelling his story,...

This Interview with the Vampire review contains spoilers.
Interview with the Vampire Episode 1
Welcome to the world of Anne Rice’s vampires. The landscape has changed, but the emotional intent remains. Entitled “In Throes of Increasing Wonder,” the premiere episode aims to evoke the feeling. Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire makes its introduction via Eric Bogosian’s Daniel Molloy. He was the young, unnamed “boy reporter” who interviewed Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) in the 1976 novel Interview with the Vampire. He sets the tone for how the narrative has changed in the almost-half-century since recording the tapes in 1973. Molloy is teaching online journalism classes now, and can be canceled at any moment.
And there you have it. AMC’s adaptation of the Vampire Chronicles is exactly that, adapted and threatened with all manner of cancellation. Mostly because of the changes to the book series. The aging...

‘Interview With the Vampire’ Review: AMC’s Queer-Forward Anne Rice Adaptation Is Ripe With Potential
Click here to read the full article.
Anne Rice’s lusty, tormented vampires reshaped popular blood-sucking narratives for four decades, establishing a tone and template that influenced aspects of everything from True Blood to The Vampire Diaries and Twilight.
At the same time, Rice’s saga inspired countless attempts at contrast — stories about the undead that aimed to make vampires terrifying again (see something like 30 Days of Night) or to laugh at their torment (as in both movie and series versions of What We Do in the Shadows).
What may be most interesting about AMC’s adaptation of Rice’s seminal novel Interview With the Vampire is the sense that series creator Rolin Jones (HBO’s Perry Mason) is trying to split the difference — to give fans a Louis and Lestat that they’ll recognize, while at the same time taking a dehumidifier to some of Rice’s swampier prose.

As every network jockeys to own the shiniest piece of IP possible to attract distracted viewers, the best thing to say about any adaptation is that it honors the source material while also evolving it, believably and purposefully, to fit a new medium. AMC aims to do exactly that with “Interview With the Vampire,” the first installment of what it’s calling “The Immortal Universe,” having bought the rights to many of Anne Rice’s most iconic works. With both the books and evocative 1994 film to contend with, creator Rolin Jones (“Perry Mason”) took on an admittedly enormous challenge. How do you stay faithful to what makes Rice’s novels so popular while bringing something to the screen that the likes of Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and a tiny Kirsten Dunst didn’t?

Editor’s note: A hundred years ago today, after an attempt to lynch a Black teenager accused of raping a white woman was stymied, a rabid white mob numbering in the thousands descended on the affluent and predominantly African-American Greenwood neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Over two days, more than 300 women, children and men were murdered by the mob. Additionally, around 800 people injured and thousands of businesses, homes and churches were razed to the ground by bombs dropped from planes and a rampaging horde that included law enforcement and members of the KKK.
Largely absent from the history books and suppressed in popular culture for decades, the 1921 Tulsa race massacre in recent years has become viewed as a milestone for the brutal realities of white supremacy in America. Today seasoned actor Steven G. Norfleet, who appeared in the depiction of the assault in HBO’s Emmy winningWatchmen, examines the hidden history...
