Another interesting, entertaining, and slightly on the odd side series from HBO that should have more than enough sex and blood for those more discerning fans of our mythical long toothed friends, the vampires.
On the other hand, some may find it little more than an "R" rated soap opera with teeth.
I'm more forgiving. I liked the first episode, thought it had a fairly strong cast, and the story held my interest, even though some of the southern accents sounded a bit strange. Still, having a lead character who is wound a little too tight, there's a reason for that, is a fresh enough idea and Anna Paquin, as Sookie Stackhouse...you heard that right, is well cast.
I'm looking forward to the next episode. Maybe this new show will reach right out and bite you.

An odd show. I had to make myself watch the first few episodes then I got into it and enjoyed it for several seasons watch the series in it's entirety and it is worth a binge tv watch for good entertainment
Characters of this show was so brilliant that you got attached to every single one. Show theme is on vampire protege but it looks very raw and makes interesting to watch. Yeah lot of adult scenes and blood sequences are there but if you didn't add those scenes then the show won't look promising.
Sookie & Bill chemistry are just amazing to watch even the show will keep you thrill in each and every epsiode goes on. If you love blood splits vampire type of stories then this show will not disappoint you. Go for it.....

I loved this show when it first came out. I stuck with it for a while. I didn't like it got pretty weird and dragged on towards the later seasons.
I absolutely loved True Blood. If you like vampire and supernatural shows then this is a must watch. It's one of the better supernatural shows that's ever been made. I really can't overstate how good it is. Like any supernatural show that's on for more than a few seasons some of it is corny but still entertaining. The only negative I can say is the ending was awful. It seems like it's hard to end a good show, most end in disappointment and this is no different. Having said that, it still doesn't take away from it being a great show. I'm actually watching it for a second time through now and I'm still as entertained as when I first saw it. It's a must watch for any vampire/supernatural fan.

- TriviaTo shoot the title sequence, the production crew took a four day trip to Louisiana, Chicago (where the church was filmed), and Seattle (for the bar scenes and writhing bodies). They would jump out of their cars as soon as they saw something they liked, or got permission to shoot people's homes, like the man in the rocking chair. He later had a few beers with them. Executive Producer Mark Bayshore is the man dancing with the girl, her arm around him, and his sons are the boys with berry juice over their faces.

Pam: To Arlene's children: You make me so happy I never had any of you.
Eric Northman: No, c'mon Pam, they're funny. They're like humans, but miniature. 'Teacup humans'.
