Haven’t seen the vampire lestat yet and I don’t need to because I know it’ll just be this

in s1-s2 there was a clear separation between louis' unreliable, often distorted narration (and no i'm not calling louis a liar, i'm talking about scenes like "i don't consider myself abused. i'm not a victim" or him describing parts of the paris era as idyllic when we could see he was deeply stressed and unhappy in the flashbacks) and how the writers themselves were framing the story- but with s3 and lestat's narration being both undisputed by another character's voice and covering the entire story, the lines are blurred. i don't think the writers are firm enough in what they want lestat's narration to be- what he's supposed to think and feel when he's making the recordings v what he thought and felt in the flashbacks he's describing, how he's changed over time- for this storytelling device to work. i honestly think they should've kept the rockstat modern day plot grounded in "objective" 3rd person pov like the dubai scenes in s1-s2 and only had lestat's narration featured over the flashbacks. i feel like the writers are using it as a crutch to tell not show several key aspects of lestat's character, handwave their pacing issues and skim over the parts of the source material they didn't care about adapting, and the story is a lot weaker for it.
