Interview with the Vampire plot
As a black man in the early twentieth century, Louis encountered the limitations of life as a black man in New Orleans and cannot resist the licentious Lestat de Lioncourt's offer of the ultimate escape: to join him as his vampire companion. But Louis's intoxicating new powers come at a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat's newest youngster, the childhood vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long road of revenge and penance.

I have never read the book, but this series deviates quite a bit from the film of Interview with the Vampire. The main points are the same, but virtually all the details are different (as far as I remember; it's been a long time since I saw the film). The first season of the film is the New Orleans part; by the looks of it, the Paris part is in S2.
Louis de Point du Lac is played by Jacob Anderson, best known as Greyworm from Game of Thrones. That is also immediately the weakest point of the series, because just like there, Anderson is incredibly stiff and wooden again. He plays the straight man (although he is neither straight nor, for the most part of the series, a man), but a little more joie de vivre would have been welcome.
Opposite him stands the unknown actor Sam Reid, who absolutely steals the show as Lestat. A Blond Beast who manages to turn every scene he is in into an explosion of psychopathic charisma. He receives strong support from Delainey Hales as Claudia and Eric Bogosian, whom I always enjoy seeing anyway, as a delightfully cynical New York interviewer.
As expected, the relationship between Lestat and Louis is portrayed much more explicitly in the series than in the mainstream Hollywood film from 1994. The same applies to everything surrounding segregation. New Orleans in the Roaring Twenties is a feast for the eyes. It is the slick design we also know from something like Peaky Blinders, only with the much higher budget of an American series.
Besides the weaker lead, there is unfortunately another point that detracts a bit from the fun: the typical modern series ailments of a lack of pacing and over-explanation.
