Interview with a Vampire TV Series
You might discover that quite a few thematic, series and character changes were made to this TV series from the 1994 film. In one respect, this series is more closer in spirit with its LGBTQ book subtext of a homosexual relationship between Louis and Lestat, a major plot subplot the 1994 film ignored wholesale but honestly, in terms of their overall personalities, Sam Neal's Lestat behavior, his impulsiveness, arrogance and blue-blood elitism isn't too different or far removed from Tom Cruise's and these vampires kill and eat discriminately, not merely picking and choosing from the worst types of society, like child molesters, paedophiles, and serial killers in the movie.
This Louie is a much more nuanced, morally complex type of character then Brad Pitt's, although he's nicer, friendlier than Lestat and maintains Louie's more mature demeanor but his relationship with Daniel Malloy is a lot more combative, tense, and frankly, this version gets away with saying sheet to Louie that most mortals wouldn't dare even say to vampires, doesn't care if he attacks him and eats him that Pitt's Louie would've burned Slater's Milloy.
