Fangtastic!

WineGirl from from York, England, 9th August, 2009

From Alan Ball who also did Six Feet Under and Dexter and being a fan of Twilight i just could not wait to watch this show. Though unlike Twilight this series is strictly for adults with all the sex, blood and violence that proves to be better than having to endure annoying kids and vampires that glitter.

The acting is faultless like the intertwining plots that branch from the main story, which introduces you to fantastic characters like the sharp-tongued Tara and Sookie’s dim, womanising brother, Jason.

Anna Paquin is delightful as the naive, telepathic Sookie Stackhouse and British actor, Stephen Moyer is deliciously seductive as the sexy vampire, Bill Compton.

Despite living in England i have watched the first and am currently viewing the second season that is on HBO in the states, that is how addicted i've become!

superb........................

williamsgwynfa from , 5th July, 2009

this is a superb series starring Anna Paquin (who won an oscar for her role in The Piano). The series revolves around Sookie Stackhouse (played by Anna Paquin), who is a telepathic waitress living in the rural town of Bon Temps in Louisiana two years after the invention of a synthetic blood called TruBlood that has allowed vampires to 'come out of the coffin' and allow their presence to be known to mankind. Now they are struggling for equal rights and assimilation, while anti-vampire organizations begin to gain momentum. Sookie's world is turned upside down when she falls in love with 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton (played by Stephen Moyer) and for the first time she must confront the trials and tribulations that come with a relationship with a vampire. Other characters in this series are - Tara Thornton (played by Rutina Wesley) who is Sookie's tough-talking best friend, her womanizing brother Jason (played by Ryan Kwanten) and her shape-shifting boss Sam Merlotte (played by Sam Trammell). Well worth watching !

Very Dull

Andy1111 from , 18th March, 2010

Only got through 3 DVD's worth then couldn't watch anymore. Very dull, lacking in depth of any kind. A series for the big brother, fast food tv generation...

Pretty good actually

dumbolives from , 15th March, 2010

I was a bit wary about watching this cause I think the whole vampire thing has been done to death now (no pun intended) but it actaully held my interest quite well. I think there is a nice array of different characters and whilst it may be a bit far fetched even for this type of show it does at least seem to move at quite a nice, quick pace. The only thing that annoys me is the way the main vamp says 'Sookie' but I suppose I will get used to it.

true blood series 1

bubgirl1984 from , 11th March, 2010

saw a couple of episode when it was on tv and thought it was addictive, so decided to rent the whole box set. A whole new look at the vampire world.

True Blood

A Customer from sussex, 9th March, 2010

I can't believe this ever got made into a series. It should never have got past being a pilot. Its puerile. The script is just bad, as is the acting. Bad everything.... Being Human is vastly superior
