7 AMC shows on Netflix you need to check out
Interview with the Vampire
The first season of Interview with the Vampire is now available to stream on Netflix.

It’s based on the All Souls trilogy of books by Deborah Harkness. This story follows Diana Bishop, a witch who hasn’t harnessed her powers out of choice. However, she’ll have no choice when she finds a rare book that witches, demons, and vampires have been looking for. Meanwhile, she comes across Matthew, a vampire who is looking into while his species is dying. What happens when the two start to fall in love?
TURN: Washington Spies
This AMC series has been on Netflix for some time, and it is a must-watch. As you would guess from the title, it is set during the Revolutionary War. While it does take some liberties with real history, there are some brilliant moments and the overall message is true.
The story follows a group of farmers who live in the colonies. They are done with the way of the British soldiers, and they decide to put their lives on the line to help Washington’s cause for freedom come true.
All seasons of the series are on Netflix, allowing for the perfect binge-watch for period drama fans.
Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches
If you’re a fan of the Anne Rice novels, you’ll have been excited to hear that Mayfair Witches was getting an adaptation. It didn’t fail to live up to expectations, and the first season is now on Netflix.

A second season is on its way to AMC. Netflix is a great way to get caught up before then.
The Terror
The anthology horror series is a must-watch. The first season of The Terror is now on Netflix, and it does touch on a real mystery in history. Whatever happened to the HMS Terror and the HMS Erebus when they were heading toward the fabled Northwest Passage?
