This is even better than the 1st season! The plot thickens,throws a few curves at ya',even adds some mythical touches.Sookie/Jason lives take a total 360 turn about.Vampires & shape shifters are spectacular.This series will have you waiting on pins & needles for season 3 starting in mid June on HBO! You will feel what they are saying,doing,it's that good of a series.Definitely a great outstanding series,as"carnivale' is.If you have NOT seen the 1st season,go to your HBO on-demand to watch it first,or if you don't have HBO-maybe a online service such as blockbusters,to watch 1st season.
