From NetFlix:
Mind-reading waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin, in a Golden Globe-winning role) dives into a complicated relationship when she falls for vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) in a world where the undead live openly and drink synthetic blood. Trying to improve their image and legitimize their finances, the out-of-the-coffin bloodsuckers hire PR firms and contribute to influential Republican politicians, among other tactics.
Get ready for two seasons of sex, violence, vampires in a well-made TV series of pure unadulterated fun and trash. From episode to episode the writers just get it right. A very young cast does a superb acting job. After watching for awhile I find myself thinking in a southern drawl. This is not gorn (gory porn). For a series on vampires, the writing is thoughtful and metaphorical. By metaphorical I mean that the premise of the series is that the United States is now in an epoch in which vampires are asserting their constitutional rights as is also the gay population. People now get addicted to the new drug of choice: vampire blood (known as “V”). Eventually characters get unwittingly involved with far-right groups out to attack vampires (and gays). Other oddities appear such as shape shifters. The sex is quite explicit and plentiful.
I LOVE TRASH !
Love, Love, Love!!!! One of my favorite things is the intro when you’re being taken on the dark southern roads and one of the store front signs says “God hates fangs”. Lol!
Hey Antonio, Thrilled that you like TrueBlood. I was introduced to it during the first season by my sister- in- law who was sure that I would love it. I watched about 8 episodes one cold Saturday and have been hooked ever since. Sookie and Jason are sympathetic characters who are risk takers, loyal and live with their choices, no excuses. I find them admirable. Love the vamps too, so much intensity, so strong, they don’t let much interfere with getting the blood. Love the characters who reject vampires too, they are portrayed with humor, the writers really nail their stereotyping opinions and actions. I miss them already. Oh yeh, I also watched Twighlight after following True Blood and I liked it too. Never thought I would enjoy vampires.
