True Blood chronicles the backwoods Louisiana town of Bon Temps...where vampires have emerged from the coffin, and no longer need humans for their fix. Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) works as a waitress at the rural bar Merlotte's. Though outwardly a typical young woman, she keeps a dangerous secret: she has the ability to hear the thoughts of others. Her situation is further complicated when the bar gets its first vampire patron -- 173-year old Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) -- and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other. Delivering the best of what audiences have come to expect from creator and executive producer Alan Ball (American Beauty, Six Feet Under), True Blood is a dark and sexy tale that boldly delves into the heart -- and the neck -- of the Deep South.
I had just read about this show, but since it was written by allen ball (six feet under) I was pretty sure I would like it. I DID...If you're into vampire stories, you will like this too !!!!!
I can see why everyone is into the show. It's hard not to get sucked into it. I've only watched the first disc and am eager to see more.
The show does follow the books to the letter, from what I've seen so far. But, I hear that doesn't last past either the 1st or 2nd season. I think that might be a good thing. The books are good, but I'd like to see a different take on all the characters rather than just watching what I've previously read!
