| Interview with a Vampire |
Dracarys! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, October 2!
Our Top Pick tonight is the television retelling of Anne Rice's gothic classic Interview with the Vampire (AMC+, 3 a.m.). The interviewee is Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) and the interviewer is journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Lestat recounts love, blood, and the perils of immortality with companion Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and fledgling vampire Claudia (Bailey Bass). I like the 1997 movie, but it is rather reserved. As usual for AMC+ shows, there's a 2 episode streaming premiere and 1 episode premiere on AMC, which will remain 1 week behind the streamer.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)

📺 Supermarket Sweep (FreeVee / Roku Channel, now): While the original is largely lost, later revivals are still around. Several episodes of the 2000s reboot on Pax can be found on FreeVee and I believe there's a SS channel on Roku that includes the '90s Lifetime revival, both of which were hosted by David Ruprecht. I enjoyed both versions as a youth. I also enjoy the current Leslie Jones-hosted revival.
The Walking Dead (AMC+, 3 a.m.): The show is back for the final run of episodes. In the first of two episodes released: "Daryl and Negan rush to the commonwealth to stop Hornsby from going after their families.
