True Blood - Season 1
The series follows Sookie Stackhouse, a barmaid living in Louisiana who can read people's minds, and how her life is turned upside down two years after the invention of a synthetic blood called Tru Blood 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 power.

Graphically sexy and scary, and often wildly funny, True Blood turns Charlaine Harris' rollicking mystery novels into a broadly entertaining, deliciously twisted slice of modern Southern Gothic.

True Blood is a sexy affair that sets up an entirely believable world where humans and vampires co-exist. It's a soap, to be sure, but a soap with an eye for social commentary.
September 07, 2008
True Blood is a show with plenty of bite.
September 07, 2008
In the skilled hands of Alan Ball, the conceit allows for both deft social commentary and wry humor.

Unless the thought of vampire/human love makes your pulse quicken - or, even better, makes you wish you didn't have a pulse to quicken - most of it is not really worth seeing.

After watching five episodes, I can say True Blood stands out as one of the strongest new series in an uncertain fall.
September 07, 2008
When Tara and Sookie speak truth to each other (or seem to), True Blood is almost shrewd.
September 07, 2008
Appetizingly pulpy and yet not at all crass, the series presents a new angle on the phenomenon of shows-so-bad-that-they're-good: It sucks hard and thus plays very well.
September 07, 2008
In Ball's droll, neo-gothic "True Blood," the vampire community isn't willing to roll over and accept our pity.
