Interview with the Vampire || 2x8 - “And That’s the End of It” || Reaction / Review!! (FINALE) 

Thoughts on the finale & season? I have absolutely loved these past couple months with you guys, it’s the best time I’ve had reacting on RU-vid. This show, this community… love y’all. Let’s keep the IWTV videos running!

daniel asking those follow-ups was insanely ballsy 😭😭 that man said imma destroy this marriage or die trying

thank you so much for your reactions! watching your videos after the ep airs has become part of my weekly iwtv routine and i’ll miss it now that the season is over!

I almost couldn’t watch the scene between Louie and Lestat. It was too much and Daniel I knew he was a vampire when I saw those nails SMH.😂 I was just sitting here waiting for the moment you realize why he is so different

Nope happened differently in the books Also the show has made vampires different from the books

The emotion on Daniels face and in his voice when he said "Lestat did!" he ships them so much😭

i love that when armand is out of louis’s life, louis regains his nola accent and starts wearing color again

I am so DELIGHTED that Eric Bogosian finally gets to play a vampire like he wanted. 😊🎉

louis keeping the rocks in his ankles reminds me of claudia’s line from season 1: “we keep the damage to remember the damage”

Respect to Rashid for the most silent and fastest escape ever.😂

There is only one word for this show: Beautiful. Beautiful writing. Beautiful characters. Beautiful. THAT’S how you do a season finale!

louis getting back with armand just to spite lestat was crazy, their relationship was doomed from the start

I immediately noticed Daniel's fingernails and the sunglasses during the TV appearance, I LOVE that they went this route.

Your reaction to Daniel being a Vampire was hilarious 😂 I’m glad Louis is finally starting to heal🩷I love my baby so much ❤

i find it really interesting that louis says daniel was turned out of “spite,” when in the books, daniel being armand’s first fledgling is super important, so i’m curious to see what will become of their relationship in the show!

I got chills when Lestat mentioned Akasha, and the ending, Louis has the blood of Lestat, meaning he also has part of the blood of the first vampire, plus Armand's, Louis wants all that smoke, he's an absolute unit and he knows it

This show is truly one of the best. I rarely watch tv now but this is one of the exceptions. Every episode just surprises me despite me knowing what to expect. Every cast and crew member deserves awards each. I'm so excited for season 3. Did not expect the twist with Daniel but I live for it.

really love the full circle moment of daciana's "we own the night. We own nothing" and then throwing herself into the fire, to Louis's "i own the night" declaration, now finally accepting his vampire nature, adding color to life via art and clothing, daring the other vampires to fuck around and find out because he's not suicidal anymore, he's not enduring anymore, he's living and he will fight tooth and nail for it. i think the tonal shift for the theater burning scene was more to represent his state of mind at the time than to imply the memory was false. it had this very chaotic film noir feel, with the big jazz band score and snappy editing. very appropriate for the late 40s as well lol and i think thats true for the rest of the episode after louis leaves armand. he's no longer being constrained and repressed by himself or armand, so the tone of the episode is reflecting that. its such a small thing but im dying to know if pointing out the lestat speaking telepathically continuity error means he really can (maybe because of akasha's blood) or if he was remembering it wrong. because i dont think it was a coincidence that lestat called armand a gremlin again in magnus' tower. hashtag dreamstat was real truthers rise ✊

I wasn’t expecting that twist at the end!! Armand said he loved Louis and wanted him more then anything in the world !! Yet he was going to let him be killed. It makes me wonder did Armand ever love him at one point or just used Louis to hurt Lestat for not wanting him? I’m so proud of Louis for leaving him, beginning the healing process and acknowledging his mistakes with Lestat. So much growth for both of them

This episode gave me everything I wanted in a finale. When Daniel starts to unravel Armand's lies I was bursting with happiness. It was so well done. I was afraid that this episode wouldn't reveal that Daniel had been made a vampire by Armand but they did it and I'm so happy. Also, Akasha was mentioned! I've loved watching this with you. Next season is going to be amazing!

I absolutely adored this episode! It gave me everything I actually wanted while setting up for the next season. And I'm so happy that Daniel & Louis are still friends! The Louis and Lestat reunion killed me. Give Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid their emmys right now!

Oh yeah, welcome to Devil's Minion, aka Danny and Armand, their dynamic in the book is crazy and the implications of his turning in the show are crazier.

And I'm so happy you're doing more interview with the vampire videos because this show deserves so much more recognition!

It was so beautiful seeing lestat and Louis together again i can't wait for season 3

Your face when it revealed that Daniel was turned 😅 Same dude same

AKASHA IS COMING. Claudias death hurt the two of them more than they ever will be able to explain. They loved her she was the best of both of them

In the books Daniel is to Armand, what Louis is to Lestat. But given how things went, it looks like Armand turned Daniel out of spite (in the books to was do to love) so I wonder how their relationship will change

FKA Twigs is born to play Queen Akasha. Eve Best is central casting for Lestat's mother/ fledgling Gabrielle de Lioncourt. Mads Mikkelson would be an ideal choice for Marius de Romanus, who made Armand. Charles Dance, who would be tragically horrifying as Lestat's creator Magnus.

Finally seeing the real Lestat not just someone imagination was so emotional to me. Louis Finally acccepting his Vampire nature and grieving Claudia after 77 years 😢 Armand so evil and twisted now Daniel will be the most annoying vampire and I'm excited for season 3❤

I'm curious to what "surprise" Louis and Armand had for Daniel before he dropped the truth bomb on them. Wonder if they were planning on turning him this whole time?

this episode was so insane omg jacob and sam’s performances were amazing

idk if you noticed but in the beginning of the ep, when they were showing the engraved names on the tombs the one that appears before louis' is nicolas de lenfent's, lestat's first lover

This season was soo good and i am happy you came to watch the iwtv series. Cannot wait to see Rockstar Lestat in S3

The mention of Akasha was such an amazing point. Won't spoiler too much for you but basically she is known as the Queen of the Damned, she was the first and Original vampire, shes over 6,000 years old and is at this point of the story the most powerful vampire to ever exists. She will be making her first appearance in the Immortal universe in the third season. There was also a movie on her that came out years ago staring the black singer Aaliyah who unfortunately died after the film was made.

In my mind both seasons are a single one with 15 episodes. And what a spectacular season of television. I applaud everyone involved in it.

And yes, Season 3 is said to follow The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned.

Will, once you said you didn’t know how you had built a small community of gay followers in your videos... well, you appreciate quality above all with respect, regardless of whether it’s gay content or not. Many people don’t see iwtv probably because of homophobia. But don’t worry, if you have a gay audience in your videos, it’s because you’re on the right track.

❣️ “my heart hurt for days” You summed it up well re Claudia and Madeleine’s ex*cution. Same for me man. Still hurting

I knew, I *knew* that lestat saved Louis during that performance. The name Akasha is VERY important to the story. Akasha is the mother of all vampires, I think. For those who’ve read the books, pls correct if I got that wrong.

Before clicking on this video, I was very confused as to why Tom Holland was reviewing this show

And yes, *spoiler, I guess*, in the books, Daniel becomes a vampire. I remember we see him more in "Queen of the Damned". Not "The Vampire Lestat". If they do it right, the focus of next season will be Lestat all day, everyday. :-) Melodramatic camp with a touch of hubris. LOL And if you mention watching the movies, you have to watch the maligned "Queen of the Damned" too. Worth it simply to see the vampire Akasha (and) the outtakes on the DVD that should've been kept in.

I just finished watching the finale of Interview With The Vampire, and my God, season 2 is a masterpiece! The story, acting, cinematography, character arcs, and dialogs were all stellar! Everything about that show is perfect! It's literally the best show on TV right now! Sesson 2 gets a 10/10

The book accuracy & moments had me in tears!! Daniel outing Armand, Louis' revenge, Lestat being his true guardian angel! They better sweep the awards season this year, very much deserved for Sam Reid & Jacob Anderson. 💛💛

Louis, just be single.

Like I said at the end of Season 1: "love of my life," my ass! Louis + Lestat forever! ❤

If they do this *right*, they'll follow the books to conclusion. Book Two, "The Vampire Lestat". (Already confirmed in the season 3 synopsis.) Book Three, "Queen of the Damned". I'm hoping that the showrunners *at least* adapt these in order, before they completely diverge from the source material. The first three books PLUS the other Vampire Chronicles should keep them busy for years. :-)

Been refreshing your page for this ,you are always timly/first ..thank you ,subscribed

I love how much of a fan you have become over your viewing journey. You’re Part of the Great Family now. We walk the Everlasting Road as we wait for season 3. 🖤🦇⚰️

“I have the blood of akasha in me”

I did not catch it when they talk telepathically as well until I saw the eyes lol

armand is SO evil and FUCKED UP.....🥺❤️

I saw Daniel’s nails and GASPED! I didn’t think they’d show Daniel becoming a vampire this season

Love that Akasha names was finally dropped 😂

so exited for the Daniel and Armand Story hehe

Omg! I freaked out so bad when Daniel took off his glasses! I was thinking that he looked like we wasn't sick anymore but I thought maybe it was just a new medication and like the adrenaline high from the success of the book. I went from angry at Armand to crying my eyes out at the reunion between Louis and Lestat to laughing my ass off at the interview with Daniel (it reminded me so much of his character Barry Champlain from Talk Radio) to screaming and jumping up and down when Daniel took off his glasses and asked about his MAKER!!!! After last week's episode with Claudia and Madeline's death I was so angry I wasn't sure I could watch the finale. I wanted all of the vampires to just burn even Louis because he is the reason she was turned in the first place. I thought I was just done but I decided I wanted to see what happened to Daniel and the book because I really love Eric Bogosian's work and I care about Daniel. But I am so glad I watched it. Sorry this is so long winded I just wanted to say I just found your channel. I am so glad I did. I love hearing and seeing other people's reaction to it. Thanks for having a great channel.

it's cute that when they're hugging they put their faces in each other's necks but don't bite

I just finished and I need a sedative.

Wow you’re an MVP with your publishing speed! Just finished the episode and gonna watch your reaction ❤

I love your reactions! Your face when you clocked Daniel was a vamp 😃 What a finale! Finally getting to see the real Lestat 🥰. Daniel is sooooo cool as a vamp! Love it. Can’t wait to see him meet Lestat. Mad Louis! How amazing is Jacob at playing insane Louis? meow! However, the loustat scene was my favourite. The raw emotion. Did you hurt yourself? JFC. This show needs to continue for the next 30yrs just to keep Jam together. Can’t wait for more vids! Thank you for your love for this show!

My goodness, Daniel is a brave bloke! The amount of times I screamed OMG during this episode. This show is just brilliant beyond words, and I will be doing a mental countdown until season 3 airs. I was NOT a fan of the 1994 film, but I'm interested to see your take on it. I haven't started The Bear yet, but ig I will look into it since I will need a new obsession after HOTD season 2 ends.

Yep that was real Louis went full revenge mode and I was HEAR FOR IT! Louis taunting Santiago was diabolical 😂

I love the inconsistencies being pointed out.

Well, there's a lot of story in the next books, so it's not like they'll run out in the next couple of seasons. Would be nice to get more episodes per season, though.

The look on your face when you realized Daniel was now a vampire ...priceless😮

I'm interested to see what you think of the movie.... The movie is kind of more accurate to the plot points of how things go in the book... I'm sure people have told you that there was technically a time jump in the TV show compared to what time period the book is set in... The book is set like 200 years prior to where it's set in the TV show. And they changed Louis's backstory a little bit in the TV show as well so yeah I don't know it'll be interesting to see what you think of like the more of the book plot that is in the movie... The homoeroticism is also very much subtext in the movie...The TV show it's just fully in the text which I definitely prefer but you know the movie and book was working with what they were ABLE to do back then.... which wasn't much. I definitely vastly prefer the TV show and all of the changes that they have made and the quality of absolutely everything from the acting, the costuming, cinematography, the homoeroticism put into the text instead of being subtext... But the movie is also okay! Just in comparison I don't like it as much. 🤷‍♀️ But yeah I'm super interested to see where you fall on things! Some people absolutely adore the movie and prefer the movie to the TV show but a lot of other people are like me who prefer the TV show over the movie.

i absolutely loved watching season 2 along with you, cant wait for season 3

i absolutely loved your reactions, they were so wholesome & sincere, and pretty much exactly how i reacted. i'm equally as flabbergasted as to how this show isn't more popular.

All this to get 2 father's graving there daughter

IWAV & Shogun best 2 shows of 2024 so far 🍻

I’m so happy seeing your excitement about the show we all love. Love that you are a convert to the dark gift . Welcome 🎈

The Talamasca had already hacked Daniel's computer, I'm sure they were saving the sessions too

Wonder how cocky he'll be should the ancient's choose to make an appearance - Maharet, Khayman, Marius, Pandora, etc. I hope they get incorporated, I mean, they have to be eventually if Akasha ever comes around 😅

Also, the last 40 years for Lestat have been "interesting" enough to have changed his attitude.

Excellent reaction!

❣️ your whole body language reactions reflect how I feel 😂

I want Claudia back

I love your reactions! Your face when you clocked Daniel was a vamp 😃 What a finale! Finally getting to see the real Lestat 🥰. Daniel is sooooo cool as a vamp! Love it. Can’t wait to see him meet Lestat. Mad Louis! How amazing is Jacob at playing insane Louis? meow! However, the loustat scene was my favourite. The raw emotion. Did you hurt yourself? JFC. This show needs to continue for the next 30yrs just to keep Jam together. Can’t wait for more vids! Thank you for your love for this show!

Looking forward to more videos about IWTV, it’s been great seeing your reactions! I loved hearing from someone not familiar with the story already, and your enthusiasm was infectious.

I'm not going to say why because spoilers but Claudia's death was still better than her book death, calling Armand a gremlin is really fitting what he did to Claudia ( whether she was "willing" or not) was gruesome.

SUCH AN AMAZING FINALE!! LOUSTAT REUNION KILLED ME😭😭😭 DANIEL BEING AN MVP AND COMING THROUGH FOR LOUIS😭😭😭😭 BFFS!!! THAT ARMAND REVEAL! WHAT A LOSER!!! ARMAND DE LOSERRRRRRR LOUIS'S REVENGE WAS EXQUISITE! HIM FINALLY ACCEPTING HIS NATURE AND COMING TO TERMS WITH THE LOSSES AND STARTING TO HEAL. WHAT A JOURNEY. I'M SO PROUD OF HIM! THAT ENDING WAS PERFECTION. I OWN THE NIGHT!!!!

Louis put himself in that prison with Armand and he deserved it. After "killing" and abandoning Lestat Louis rubbed Armand in Lestat's face after Lestat saved his life and Lestat returned that spite by not telling Louis the truth.

this finale is everything i could have asked for tbh. this season overall was really good; i enjoyed it more than the first season for sure. it took me a while to get over my issues with the changes made from the books, but i think i've finally (for the most part lol) gotten there.

We UK folk who've had to pirate the show need to buy it and stream it when it becomes available here. Americans have little to no excuse to pirate it but I'm seeing a lot of them admit to it.

Oh, my fkn god! Oh, my fkn god! Plot twist out of NO WHERE! I never finished the book, so if that was all in it, I am happy that I didn't know it was coming. I had to spend a few moments after it was over, picking up the pieces, cuz this BLEW ME AWAY! I understand all the books will eventually be made into television. If that is true, the "makers" will have a lot to live up to. Thank you, AMC and everyone involved in creating this epic series.

If you look closely when Daniel takes off his glasses, his eyes are blue and then change. He can control the color of his Iris

I can't believe it! Coming back to his love

I knew Lestat would not play with Louis time

The second book The Vampire Lestat is much longer than Interview so it will probably require at least 2 seasons. The book is told from Lestat's point of view in the first person. Hopefully they will find a way to include more of Louis in the show. There's a third book in the original trilogy The Queen of the Damned.

I liked the season Just too much of a love story this season. Hoping season 3 focuses more on the vampire history and showing them do vampire stuff, not just be in love lol

since the show ended i’ve watched basically everyone on youtube react to the show because i just can’t get enough of it. i love how you really get how incredible the show is in every single way… i also wish it was more appreciated, it deserves so much more, i can’t comprehend how it hasn’t won any awards yet. i was actually shown the movie when i was a kid by my aunt, so i had a idea of what was going to happen in the show and even knowing “spoilers” the experience of the show was still insane & unexpected, it really is so much better than the movie. i’ve gotten so deep into my obsession that i’m reading the books. i’m currently on the 3rd book and the show definitely has a lot of amazing stuff to go off of for the next hopefully several seasons.

I love your reaction my favorite show

Love ya Will! Your reactions are fantastic!!

bravo Daniel expose this snake Armand, I never believe he helped Louie such bs it was always Lestat even in the books

That was a banger wasn’t it?

I think armand changed Daniel because he could see how useful he would be to Louis since his big secret was found out. I think he wanted to care for Louis even though it couldn't be him.

id really recommend getting into the lore of the books !

i know you have to cut away, but you cut away so much compared to other reactors, it's jarring

Walker Sarah Martin Sarah Brown Margaret

Woawww what a episode, I am so happy that Armand was unmasked!!!! Now like us two years ago, you have to wait a year to see season 3 😅.

How have I only just found you guys?! Loved, loved, loved this series ❤
