I am surprised at how much I love this show! This is not the best HBO series ever made, but it is a great show that is really addictive and has something that the Twilight saga lacks... bite! Now I like anything to do with vampires, though I'm not obsessed with them, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and various adaptations of the Dracula story spring to mind. True Blood may have started off a tad rocky, like Buffy did, but as it has progressed it has become even more interesting and gripping.
Firstly, True Blood is fairly original(even if some parts of the show are nonsense) and very gripping, and it is very sexy. It looks good too with nice photography, good scenery, incredible costumes and above-decent make-up, and the music is wonderful especially the opening credits sequence which really gets you hooked. The writing is also really good, witty and intelligent, while the story lines are gritty and fun and well and truly suck you in. The characters are believable and likable particularly Stookie and Bill, and Tara has a lot of moments. At first she started off as a stereotype, but now she does have some depth to her. The acting is fine too, Anna Paquin is simply incredible, while Steven Moyer is very charismatic and Rutina Wesley really makes Tara her own.
All in all, really, really good, despite the slow start it is a great show with bite and believable characters, writing and stories. 10/10 Bethany Cox
