@gym_wrath Exactly!!! It’s all just VERY Lestat. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the whole season is being praised by critics. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes is rare!!
I will say, as someone who was at the premiere, the one thing that had the group I was sitting with going ???? was the lyrics of Black Licorice, specifically the TikTok dance line, but it was NEVER in a bad way. We were all just like “did he really just say TikTok dance??” +
All that to say is people need to just have fun with this. This is not the first two seasons anymore. And this is LESTAT. If you thought he wouldn’t be like this, you clearly don’t know him very well.
I’ve seen a lot of people today choosing to not understand that and write the song off as bad and honestly it’s laughable because it’s a lot more nuanced than that, and IT’S NOT THAT SERIOUS!!!!!!! This episode was probably the most unserious one we’ll have all season.
Genuinely it’s CAMP. Lestat is the campiest person on earth. If you’re taking this episode so seriously that you think it’s cringe genuinely go watch another show lol

Present day (the auction) for 5 minutes, 99% of the episode was touring era (2025), and there were very quick flashes back to his childhood, Nicki, Magnus, New Orleans, etc.
