#people aren’t use to this sort of storytelling with poc not just being wholesome saviors or irredeemable villains

So true.

Which makes me wondering how they will approach season three. Especially with how much attention that Lestat teaser trailer got them. I can see them making the show more light hearted and comedic for more viewers to come in and watch, so they can get that higher ratings to get more season. However what will that mean for characters like Louis, Armand, Daniel, and even Claudia (who might return in some form)

Season three will be very telling about the future of this series. But I know there will be so many bad takes and possibly a lot more new viewers/ fans who rather have a non toxic queer show that’s upbeat and quirky, instead of the toxic gothic romance, which mortally grey characters.

I don't think the general public should have ever gotten their hands on IWTV because most of these people are not equipped with the grace, the knowledge, the nuance, or the critical thinking skills needed to discuss the themes in this show in a productive manner. Especially not a theme as sensitive and complex as "cycles of abuse."
