One of my fav little details in this ep is the presence of Magritte's painting The Lovers, calling back to Lestat's letter to Louis in season 2: "A veil will now forever separate our union. But it is a thin veil… and I am always on the other side, face pressed up against your longing."

My first recap for The Vampire Lestat is out now!
Very excited to dig deep into this show over the next seven weeks, starting out with some thoughts on the drastic POV shift, Lestat's celebrity persona as an old-school rock star, and that *incredible* pair of intro and outro scenes.
In episode 1, “Detroit,” Sam Reid reintroduces Lestat as a messy, self-destructive rock star—and proves he was born to play this role.
