Fangtastic!

Sorry for the pun, but I couldn’t resist. TRUE BLOOD, now in it’s second season is Creator and Executive Producer Alan Ball’s (writer of Oscar®-winning Best Picture “American Beauty”, creator of the Emmy® Award-winning series “Six Feet Under”) latest series for HBO. 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, 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.

TV GuideMatt Roush

Graphically sexy and scary, and often wildly funny, True Blood, from Six Feet Under’s Alan Ball, turns Charlaine Harris’ rollicking mystery novels into a broadly entertaining, deliciously twisted slice of modern Southern Gothic.

USA TodayRobert Bianco

Part mystery, part fantasy, part comedy, and all wildly imaginative exaggeration, Blood proves that there’s still vibrant life–or death–left in the “star-crossed lovers” paradigm.

Bloody, sexy and violent, the show is also both occasionally funny and frightening.

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen

True Blood is a sexy affair that sets up an entirely believable world where humans and vampires co-exist. It’s a soap, to be sure, but a soap with an eye for social commentary.

The fictional town of Bon Temps, serves as the perfect backdrop for the characters and includes some wonderfully gothic set designs. For more images check here.
