TrueBlood is the new HBO, Vampire TV series made by the people who brought us 'Six Feet Under'. The first season has only just started in America, but I'm sure it won't be too long before it heads over to somewhere like E4. The show is based on the series of books, 'Sookie Stackhouse, Southern Vampire Series' by Charlaine Harris.
The show is starts in a time, at the creation of a new synthetic blood (called 'TruBlood') by Japanese scientists, giving the opportunity for the Vampire folk to 'come out of the coffin' (yes, they actually use that turn of phrase) and live amongst the humans for the first time in history. As the Vampires don't need human blood anymore, there is no reason for humans to fear them. Set in the small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, we meet Sootie (Anna Paquin) who has the ability to read people's mind. Her psychic ...

Advantages: Sexy and vampy Disadvantages: some poor acting in parts
shows, TrueBlood obviously being one of them.
TrueBloodTrueBlood has been advertised on TV for ages, and unfortunately I have not had the channel to see it, I have had to watch adverts for something that I found genuinely appealing only to find they were advertsing a channel that I do not have...little bit harsh! However due to popularity it is now showing on channel 4 and I was so taken by the first episode that I bought the box set on DVD so I can watch them in my own time.

It is an American supernatural drama series with was created by Alan Ball, like the recent popular film Twilight, TrueBlood is based on a series of books called The Southern Vampire Mysteries ...
Advantages: Explores some interesting themes. Well acted. Disadvantages: Too many storylines happening at once.
At the time of writing, vampire themed movies and TV shows seem to be going through a resurrection (pun intended). It's been a long time since the days of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and spin-off series Angel but in an era where vampires have been romanticised as sparkly, bleeding-heart saps thanks to the Twilight books and movies, does TrueBlood have what it takes to bring new life to the genre?
Like Twilight, TrueBlood also originates from a series of novels called The Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris and it also focuses centrally on the romance between a human and a vampire but that's really where the comparisons end.
The main protagonist is Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress working in a bar called Merlotte's in the small, fictional town of Bon Temps in Louisiana. Sookie isn't just any ordinary girl though, she ...
