True Blood meets Eurovision in this ludicrously camp vampire drama. This is the third series of Interview with the Vampire but it takes a new turn, now set in 2025 with the spotlight on blood-sucking glam rocker Lestat – played so erotically by Sam Reid that he can pull off lines such as “MDMA and LSD: the Torvill and Dean of hallucinogens” and “I carry with me an immortal erection”.
