We get a new list highlighting the show as one of the best additions to the streaming service:

Best Reason to Watch: Um, it’s incredible? One of the best shows of 2024? Sam Reid’s stagebound return evokes the perfect blend of giddy/terrified glee? You just gotta watch it, guys. And I say that as someone who really struggled to get through the first half of Season 1.

On another article (all thanks to Instagram´s @ IWTV_updates of course) The Oscars embraced horror this year. Why won't the Emmys? is the main question of the day, also making special mention of how boh IWTV and Dark Winds have very interesting parallelisms and are equally ignored on awards seasons when it comes to nominations for more categories:

In Vampire and Winds, lead actors Jacob Anderson and Zahn McClarnon bring to life characters burdened by memories of childhood trauma, as well as, respectively, racism carried from 1910s New Orleans to post-WWII Paris and the death of a child. These two shows refuse to stray away from the horrific pasts of these leading men, instead forcing their audiences to reckon with the struggles of Louis and Joe. Unlike other shows that use shocking plot twists to elicit cheap gasps, like the tedious finale of The White Lotus season three, these stories are anchored by characters who have long met their ends and whose unresolved fates resonate in the present.

These series feature powerful explorations of how history shapes identity and relationships. The haunting memories that seep into every moment remind viewers that our pasts are not easily escaped but are woven into the very fabric of who we are. Ultimately, Anderson and McClarnon’s characters challenge us to reckon with the lasting effects of trauma as they unfold these raw, unflinching narratives. Louis and Joe are frustrating, as they seem reluctant to uncover the most painful parts of their lives. But as they’re forced to chip away at their carefully constructed facades, each one sheds light on truth, shame, and grief.
