'Interview With the Vampire' Season 3 Review: 'The Vampire Lestat' Puts Sam Reid's Rock Star Vampire Center Stage
By
Ben Travers
Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Season 3 of AMC's "Interview with the Vampire," retitled "The Vampire Lestat," follows the titular vampire as he takes his rock band on a North American tour while experiencing a nervous breakdown. Creator Rolin Jones' extension of the series does not pause to explain the ongoing narrative to newcomers, making it a challenging entry point for new viewers. The season hands Sam Reid the mic to let the undead drama queen rectify the book written about him.
