The world of Ann Rice is back !!! I absolutely loved Interview with the vampire, so I am coming into this with high expectations !
It's definitely an episode to set up the season which is why it doesn't get higher than a 7, that doesn't mean it's bad in any way, these types of episodes just tend to be slower, not my cup of tea format style
BUT, the story we have of Rowen being adopted and now that she's older and struggling with this "power" she believes she has, it's really interesting and the whole backstory is good especially towards the end when some light is being shed on the truth.
There is quite a lot of time jumps in this but nothing drastic that you would get confused, I really did enjoy this and it has me excited for the rest of the season !!
