True Blood....if you're not watching it, you should be!!
Does anyone here watch True Blood?? I just watched the Season 2 premiere and it blew me away. I thought it was fantastic.
If you don't know of the show, it's a new show on HBO from Alan Ball, the guy behind American Beauty and Six Feet Under.
On the surface, the show sounds pretty silly, but it's much more than what it seems. It's a show that takes place in the deep south of Louisiana and it involves a world in which vampires have "come out" and become members of everyday society. There is a sythetic drink called Tru Blood which provides the vampires with sustinence, but of course there are the bad apples who neglect this and feed on humans. There's also a love story involving a human and a vampire who does his best to "mainstream" and become a contributing member of the little town of Bon Temps. In Season One, there was a serial killer on the loose and much of the season was dealing with that.
Season two opened right where one left off and it didn't miss a beat in the opening episode. Can't wait for this Sunday.
Anyone else watch it.
Oh and Anna Paquin is the main star and she has no reservations about showing some skin!!!

A huge fan of Six Feet Under, and Dexter. I came across True Blood a few months ago, watched the entire season in two nights. Fabulous... I caught the season 2 premier the other night. Strange seeing Paquin being so hot , I remember her winning award for The Piano as a young girl. I have little time for TV shows, but sacrifice time to watch True Blood.

I downloaded season 1 yesterday, I'm already on episode 11. At 55 minutes apiece... it means I have too much time on my hands.
Excellent show. Love Miss Paquin too

Oh, I was so relunctant to try it, I was thinking "oh man, another vampire show.....BORING!".....but it's so much more than that and it's very well written.
Also, it's the highest rated HBO show since Sopranos and Sex And the City.
Check that, the Season 2 premiere was the highest rated HBO program since the finale of the Sopranos and up a whopping 151 percent from the Season 1 premiere!! WOW!

I love the show but I find Bill to be an annoying character.

What I do find annoying is how easy Sookie get's pissed off and is constantly flipping back and forth between decisions. Come to think of it... quite a few characters are tainted by this trait as well. Seems like all it takes is one sentence and WHAM... an argument and conflict ensues.

I didn't think the first episode of season 2 was that great. I'm not a fan of the Jason joins the crazy church storyline while Bill and Sookie bickering over what he did was boring also.

I watched the first 3 epsiodes a while back and gave up. Didn't really do it for me. Does it get better or if I didn't like it by now, I won't like the rest?

If you didn't like it after that many episodes, then you probably won't. I was hooked after the first episode.
