A blindingly revealing baring of the damned souls that are vampires! I couldn't give the episode a 9.5, but it deserves it. This is the episode that will make you a believer!
While the show has not followed exact book versions of Louis de Pointe du Lac's testimonies about these events so far, and neither does this episode, most still felt heartened by the magnificent portrayal of Claudia by young actress Bailey Bass, who nailed the Claudia character like six home-runs in a row!
But if there was ever a doubt about this telling of the Chronicles over 94's Neil Jordan take it won't matter matter when you reach the climax that is 'A Vile Hunger For Your Hammering Heart'. The guilty, hopeless ennui of Louis and the smoldering ever-burning and volite fire that is his maker, with the broodingly resentful, untamed and lost soul that is Claudia.
It's a thing of beauty to behold.
And top it off with that ending song that has you asking the Question: "Who the heck has a song like this?". It's folk music by a minor celebrity who shall not be named because (no spoilers). Suffice it to say the Answer is a figure referenced earlier in the drama, an Answer that strongly affirms the shows message about the damned souls that are our Vampire triad and how perfectly in line with the charcters Ann Rice gave us that message is. The effects and performances really make you feel what it was to be one of the Condemned.
