Editorial Review: 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, Golden Globe(R)-winner for "True Blood", Academy Award®-winner for “The Piano”) 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 (Steven Moyer, "Quills") - 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 (writer of Oscar®-winning Best Picture “American Beauty”, creator of the Emmy® Award-winning HBO® series “Six Feet Under”), TRUE BLOOD is a dark and sexy tale that boldly delves into the heart - and the neck - of the Deep South.DVD Features:

Trash 1 out of 5
These shows are complete TRASH! I have enjoyed reading all the Sookie Stackhouse novels, so I got the entire first season thinking I would really enjoy it. I was disgusted with what I was given. Sorry, people...from start to, I'm guessing, finish these are completely revolting. I didn't make it past episode 4...I was too sick to my stomach.
Neck biting/gripping Vampire series 5 out of 5
One of the best vampire series I've ever seen, but it is not for the timid. The sex scenes and language would make many blush. It could be called a porno if you only wanted to watch the sex scenes, so don't let your children watch this one. If you like vampires, that can take a bite out of your previous concepts of vampires this is the series for you.
5 stars if I hadn't already seen the second season 4 out of 5
This season is really good - it establishes a cool story in a very interesting setting. It's got a loosely underlying plot theme that eventually plays out with a somewhat shocking twist. However, there are some boring episodes that prevent this season from being truly great. It does a good job setting up the vastly superior second season, though. The video quality is fantastic for a standard dvd and there are some decent extras. If you are on the fence about starting to watch this series, then pick this season up when it is cheap. You will enjoy it and it will allow you to follow the plot and know the characters as you start the second season. Viewer beware, however, as this show is not for the faint of heart. Violence, nudity, profanity - it really pushes the limit as far as what previous television has shown in these departments.

tru blood 1st season 5 out of 5
The first season was excellent. I am not a movie buff or show expert by any means but i truly enjoyed the entire first season. My wife read all the books and said that the movie had differneces,but it was still exciting and new. Most enjoyable season, and looking forward to season two and three.
