True Blood - Season 2
Just as things seem to have settled down for perky telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse and her vampire soulmate Bill Compton. Sookie and Bill travel to Dallas to help Eric find his maker, a two-thousand-year-old vampire named Godric, kidnapped by the fellowship of the sun. The invention of a synthetic blood called Tru Blood has allowed vampires to come out in the open to live among men.

"True Blood" is a little less cartoonish and over-the-top than it sometimes seems. Or maybe we're too overwhelmed or distracted or disenchanted to recognize the true nature of this cartoonish, over-the-top, morally mixed-up world we're living in.

I'm happy to report that this season, there's More Blood! More Torture! More Killing! and More Intrigue! than last season.

The fleshed-out secondary characters have better material than Sookie and her vampire Bill.

Sly and beguiling, it offers up desperate souls and sweaty bodies, hungry vampires and fearful humans.

I'd have an easier time taking True Blood less seriously if it could make up its mind as to how seriously it wants to be taken.

As good as Paquin and company play it, this is another quality pay-cable show that does have a secret handshake. Or bite.

Ball has brushed up on his Buffy reruns, opening up the show's universe to far more devilish creatures and ideas, and it seems the further he steps away from the vamps, the closer he gets to the beating heart of the human.

Addictively watchable, not so much a guilty pleasure as a binge food. Cable catnip, in other words.

True Blood will never be confused with the high-quality projects HBO has staked its reputation and brand on, but it can be an entertaining pop/pulp thriller with a fair amount of comedy sprinkled in.

"True Blood" is truly terrific.
