This episode is a great continuation of the pilot and also serves to set up many of the conflicts to come as well as delivering humour and tragedy, emotions very much in line with the book canon. Sam Reid as Lestat is giving all a fan could ever hope for and Jacob Anderson should be handed his Emmy immediately (especially after his performance in the pilot). Very interesting exploration of character especially for Louis in his changed circumstances and the troubles he still faces in a segregated society. This also ties in with the difference between him and Lestat and the tension it creates, which makes an even stronger case than in the books.
