Why aren’t you watching one of the best shows on TV?

13 June, 2024

The best show on TV right now is AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” and chances are you’re not watching. That’s because without a big advertising spend, too many titles fall through the cracks in today’s TV landscape. Especially if the show relies on cable viewers. New episodes air 8 p.m. Sundays, but somehow this has become the old school option in less than a decade. The show is also available on AMC’s streaming platform, which has just 11.5 million subscribers, barely a drop compared to Netflix’s 83 million in North America alone. There are discounts available for new AMC+ subscribers if you do some sleuthing online (none of which are being aggressively marketed) including a 30-day free trial with the promo code IWTV30SH. I’m not here to shill for AMC, but it looks like you can get a plan for as low as $4.99 a month. That’s cheaper than pretty much any other streaming platform and it’s money well spent for this show alone. Still unconvinced? The pilot episode from Season 1 is currently free on YouTube.
