@ifollowifwechat if you are spending this much time not only talking about a show you hate, but repeatedly LYING about obvious facts because you don't like that this season is acclaimed so you need to make up things that aren't true, that is very sad and you need to get offline and touch grass.

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@ifollowifwechat comparing comments on a show that's been out for two years on Netflix to a show that just came out doesn't make sense. I don't know why you keep harping on Emmys, I doubt the show will ever win one, but the reality is this season is as acclaimed as season 2. Deal with it. And yes

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@theoceanblooms This. And I see ppl using Rolin talking about budget to claim it looks bad, and no, he said that's why they couldn't film more locations in a season that already has way more locations than they've ever had. Not that it impacted their ability to make things look how they want.

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

Yes. I'm literally seeing people go "why wasn't Auvergne more beautiful, Lestat hated his family but Louis was depressed and Nola was still beautiful, it's bad production values" and just....no, that's not how storytelling works. "More beautiful" isn't better production design.

[mary @theoceanblooms]

“iwtv seasons one and two had better production values than tvl does” is just categorically false, there’s extremely obvious green screen work in the scene where paul dies it’s just that people don’t feel the need to nitpick and bitch about it

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@ifollowifwechat You obviously don't know how it works, because it's not "one site", it's dozens of reviewers from different sites, and they've watched six episodes, not two. Have opinions, but don't lie or get your facts THAT wrong. And it's never been about Emmys with this show.

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@ifollowifwechat So far, TVL has a higher audience score on Rotten Tomatoes than season 2. And on imdb, the first two episodes have the same ratings as the first two episodes of season 2. So no, the general audience doesn't agree with you either. Get a life.

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@obiwansrealgf has far more locations, which is expensive, than any previous season. But I'm sorry, anyone seeing a larger different in production design is placing pure beauty over storytelling. The care and quality are still there.

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@obiwansrealgf with wigs and now this show, which has struggled with hair and wigs itself in the past, has so many wigs to deal with. But the costumes and sets are the same quality as before. Rolin talked about budget impacting their ability to build or find MORE sets when this season already

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@dueroses @obiwansrealgf saying that they couldn't film MORE locations because of budget, in a season where they had to film in far more locations than ever before. That is not a reason to assume a decline in production design of the sets and costumes they did create.

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@dueroses @obiwansrealgf There is no decline in sets or costume design. Things not looking as beautiful in Lestat's memory of his past as in Louis's is storytelling, not budget. Wigs are separate, previous seasons had hair issues, but wigs are tricky and the show now has tons of them. But Rolin was

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@liminalspacegal @ralter lol sure, someone with 52 followers ranting on twitter in the mentions of a more successful writer, it means nothing that every reviewer from Variety to Indiewire to Alan Sepinwall gave the season a great review. You don't have to like it, but clearly many do. Just facts.

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@frigatemeduse @ralter the review also said that Christine is whoring him out. Noting that Louis has secretly created a relationship where he profits of Lestat's sexualized performances is not literally saying he's a pimp, but it does bring it to mind.

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@witchhatelier You claimed the reviews were all from one site (??) as if Rotten Tomatoes or Meteoritic write reviews rather than collect them. It's several dozen different reviewers like Variety giving TVL excellent reviews. Come back when you have the slightest clue what you're talking about.

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@junosteeI It's not a wig, it's his real hair. They'll have had that coat in storage and could have used it again. They could have lit it with gold lighting. The point is that the "real" Lestat, as a human, is tired, not living in a romance novel, and wearing a dingier, more realistic coat.

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@Syanidure romanticized is not the same as the production being cheaper. It's like how some people weren't happy that the Theatre des Vampires was cheap and kitschy rather than grand like the movie. That aesthetic choice isn't the same as cheaper design.

[Jacoba G @JacobaGood]

@Syanidure It sounds like they had a little less for season 3. But the production values don't look any cheaper. Having so many wigs is an issue even for huge budget HBO shows, but the costumes and sets are the same quality. Lestat's modern world or aesthetic being grungier or less lushly
