Spies, vampires, and gangland grit: four new TV reviews

AV Club’s critics survey four new TV outings: Prime Video’s Ride Or Die delivers a witty, action-packed spy comedy anchored by Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer and elevated by its female‑friendship core; The Vampire Lestat’s Montreal episode blends a rom‑com veneer with grim vampire drama as Louis and Lestat grapple with Claudia’s ghost and set up a gripping finale; House of the Dragon season 3 widens its focus to parenting and legacy amid brutal power plays; MGM+’s The Westies aims for a Peaky Blinders‑style gangland epic but struggles with a sprawling cast and uneven depth, despite strong performances and relentless pacing.

In an exclusive video, Sam Reid (Lestat) and Jacob Anderson (Louis) discuss how The Vampire Lestat shifts from past-focused narration to present-day storytelling, using memory-driven 'muses' and sharp non-linear flashbacks. The premiere frames Lestat via a posthumous auction and his 'The Failures' album, with producers explaining the psychology of intrusive memory and the decision to foreground the now. Louis and Lestat offer opposing narrations, and the actors weigh what details Louis chooses to reveal or gloss over, signaling a major departure from the source material as the show leans into present-day scenes and character-driven psychology.
