True Blood is an Americantelevision drama series created by Alan Ball, based on the Sookie Stackhousebook series by Charlaine Harris.
I watched the two episodes that have aired so far out of the 12. The shows been given a green light for a 2nd season already.
I kind of like this show. The cast are 99% people I have never heard of with the exception of the main character Sookie played by Anna Paquin (Rogue from the X-men movies)
Thanks to a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures "coming out of the coffin." Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides, but in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, the jury is still out.
Local waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), however, knows how it feels to be an outcast. "Cursed" with the ability to listen in on people's thoughts, she's also open-minded about the integration of vampires — particularly when it comes to Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill's arrival in Bon Temps, that tolerance will be put to the test.
The acting an dfeeling of the show is kind of poor, like low budget but for me it just make sit feel more real life and less tv show. It graphic as far as violence and laguage. I wouldn't let kids or young teens watch it since out of the two episodes there were many sexual scenes. This is a quite interesting show none the less, its not for everybody but its worth checking out. Its very political as far as Vampires faught for equal rights and their is discrimination.
Any one else hve a comment or anything to add, I havent read the books, vampires are not really an intrest of mine.
