Perfectly written! I love this reboot so much, Louis being black has added so much more depth to his character. Throw Jacob Anderson’s amazing acting into the mix and you have a powerhouse!

I really wish they used season 2 to play more with his race and what that means when he’s in these heavily European (yet vampiric) spaces because, God, I felt like there was so much they could’ve done there. Still, I understand that they want to follow the plot of book so I’m not really mad tbh. And, yes, Jacob’s performance is just spectacular

Could you imagine if Claudia said it was a lynching instead of a stoning? OMG

Love this show and seeing more people talking about Jacob’s contribution. The whole show, and everyone on it, is so incredibly talented. Loved reading your thoughts on Louis.

“He had girl-bossed himself way too close to the sun and became prey to a French sociopathic vampire.” This sentence took me for a whole spin!!!

Louis is honestly one of the best characters i've seen on television in such a long time - Jacob truly showed out in this role! 🙌🏿

A very beautiful and insightful way to talk about Louis and how you just love him one minute, hate him another, and feel sorry for him in the next. Jacob really made his character seem like someone you could actually know and meet. Can't wait for Season 3!
