Just far too much like a soap opera.
I felt the exact same way, although I did finish last season(about 5 months after it aired) and the ending was kinda cool.

Put so much time in, gotta see it thru.

Haha I was the same way. Although I still have about 3 episodes left to watch from last season, but I have 0 interest in doing that.

I stopped near the end of season 3 I believe. I have 4 downloaded, but I have no intention on watching True Blood anymore.

I can't take anymore bulls*** story lines.

I mentioned in the Game of Thrones thread that everyone of their story lines is entertaining. True Blood is the complete opposite of that, other than the Sookie story lines, everything else is pure trash. The Tara stuff, god damn that is some awful tripe.

Tara's storyline took an interesting turn this past season but she's still annoying.

I’ve never seen this show and I just started, it it’s really good. But I’m getting conflicting info on when it goes to ####. Thoughts?

I liked the first season, second was alright, but I lost interest early in season 3.

You are enjoying it so just keep watching until you don't. For some people that will differ.

I liked the entire show but they stole without giving credit soo much from White Wolf, they should have just called the show Vampire the Masquerade: True Blood.

It has one of the better title sequences and one of the best titles songs I can recall. Especially considering it’s a full intro. Not that modern two second noise and dissolve.

I wouldn't call plagiarism a good job.

Meh, as someone who has read at least half a dozen Sookie Stackhouse books (which is what True Blood is based on) and being a long-time larper/roleplayer, I don't really see True Blood as stealing that much from White Wolf specifically. Sure the influences are clearly there, but then again White Wolf also stole a TON of stuff (without credit), so...

By the time True Blood came around, basically everything in it was already common lore used in hundreds of books and movies.

This might come off sounding like a pig but...Lizzy Caplan is naked a lot in this show and I like that. I didn’t even know she was in it!
