Quote:
Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under, returns to HBO with a new series based on the novel series Southern Vampire by Charlaine Harris. The series follows Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic barmaid who finds comfort in the company of vampires since they have no brainwave activity for her to read. She and her brother Jason were raised by her grandmother after losing their parents in a flood and she tries to keep her telepathic ability a secret. Thanks largely in part to the creation of a Japanese-made synthetic blood called Tru Blood (where the series takes it name) vampires have made their existence known to the world.

Episodes out so far:

    True.Blood.S01E01.HDTV.XviD-0TV
    True.Blood.S01E02.HDTV.XviD-0TV
    True.Blood.S01E03.HDTV.XviD-0TV
    True.Blood.S01E04.HDTV.XviD-0TV

Anyone else follow this?
Though I wouldn't say it's one of the best shows around, I'm loving every minute of it, even the really cheesy parts. Definitely not for everyone, but if you're a fan of vampires and want to try a different take on the subject, you should definitely give this a go.

Kinda died for me after 1st episode..got the 2nd but just cba to watch it. Fringe, Mentalist, 11th hour(haven't watched it but Rufus Sewell is cool) are the new shows I'll be taking a closer look at.


8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

Yea that was another thing that annoyed the hell out of me. They insisted on going more vampire bat style with the teeth instead of the more traditional and mystical you see in other series/films. There's a reason for them. They look cool.

I like this series. Mostly because it's politically incorrect.


I also think fisk should be unbanned.

Quick review ... this series is based on 4 story lines :
1. Vampires go public and they want to rule the world with they stolen financial assets , some like them some don't, some fight them like the Church but they all are killed off in some bizarre accident's (you only know this world around story from the news the actors watch)
2. 1 vampire goes back to his roots and find friends and all ... Buffy + Angel kinda thing + the comical aspects ... yeah kinda - About a Blond air-head girl that is telepathic and fell in love with a vampire because she can't hear his toughs and hers family and other stuff we find about them .
3. Someone kills people in this town and this good vamp guy is on it ... well his vamp buddies kill humans and move from town to town and hide those deeds by framing people
4. People hunt vampires not to kill them but to harvest them , theirs blood or organs give humans super powers

so yeah story 1+3+4 are nice but this is TV crap so story nr2 takes like 90% of the whole 1h long episode ...

episode 1 2 are weak story gets interesting on 3 ... now watching episode 4 but don't have high hopes for this series

Not any likeable characters, that I saw. So it gets a minus in my book. Very Happy

The women he fucks is human.

I'm watching it all the time, and I't so weird and fucked up that I have to recommend it to everyone.

Awesum!

Ps. And it features Alexander Skarsgård ( Generation Kill's Brad "Iceman" Colbert) as one of the main roles.

AWESUM!!

Yeah, he also seems to be looking at the camera as he shags her, weird.

Aye, laughed at that, sounded well weird, wasn't ready for it at all
Loved that Bill said they were speaking Cambodian (IIRC) Laughing

I really think this is a hate it or love it show. I love the characters, but I could see why people wouldn't or just don't care for them.

EDIT: Fourth episode was a major step up in terms of quality, btw. Story is starting to get going instead of just introducing the characters. If you liked it but didn't love it, I'd say keep watching, reckon it'll get better.
Also remember that I'm the one who introduced Dexter to this site Wink
