    True Blood is an American television drama series created and produced by Alan Ball. It is based on the The Southern Vampire Mysteries series of novels by Charlaine Harris. The show is broadcast on the premium cable network HBO in the United States. It is produced by HBO in association with Ball's production company, Your Face Goes Here Entertainment. It premiered on September 7, 2008.

    The show's second 12-episode season premiered on June 14, 2009. On July 30, 2009, HBO confirmed that True Blood will be renewed for a third season. The third season is due to begin shooting on December 3, 2009.

    True Blood details the co-existence of vampires and humans in Bon Temps, a fictional small Louisiana town. The series centers on Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), a telepathic waitress at a bar, who falls in love with vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer).

    The first season received critical acclaim and won several awards, including one Golden Globe and an Emmy.

    Just got the first two seasons and have finished watching the second episode of the first season. Didn't know what to expect at first. All I knew was that the show had gotten good reviews and that it had vampires in it. When I realised the vamps were found out to be real (they came out of their coffins (H)) I found it interesting and liked how they played around with the idea (Hill billies draining vampires of their blood, what the blood can do for humans etc etc). Hopefully they can keep the intrigue and interest up and it'll lead somewhere good. A word of warning for some though, it is on a cable network and I heard in America it's easier for cable networks to get away with certain things (in other words, there's quite a bit of nudity and sex scenes in the first episode alone).

    Lol so even if you’re not big on vampires the show is ok?

    From what you say it doesn’t sound like something I would watch but I might give it a try at some point as not a lot is on TV until after Christmas.

    I personally like Dexter. The idea of an officer of the law being a serial killer is quite a good one. Haven't given True Blood a try yet.
