I just got into this show on dvd and I strongly recommend it. I have no idea why I never heard more word of mouth about True Blood because it's the best show I have seen in awhile. It's a lot like Twilight...except there's nudity, sex and it's a hell of a lot more violent. It's about a mind reading Waitress named Sookie (Anna Paquin) who falls hard for a vampire named Bill (Stephen Moyer). Vampires are well known to the world, but no one trusts them. Some, prefer just to drink True Blood which is a blood drink sold for them even if it doesn't exactly fill their thirst completely. Bill is a peaceful vampire that drinks True Blood and who has never turned a human into a vampire. Kind of like Bella in Twilight, Sookie can read everyone's mind, except Bill. She likes that about him though, since she hears thoughts of others way too much.
While there may be more to her boss Sam (Sam Tremmell) who has a big crush on her. He barks in his sleep and runs around the woods naked. He also isn't supportive to her relationship with Bill. Is he the person killing vampire supporters close to Sookie ? The police think he's a suspect, while her brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten) is also a suspect since he slept with 2 of the victims.
Jason also gets hooked on vampire blood which is just called V by it's users. It has a strong trippy effect that he gets hooked to. He gets so hooked though that it starts to put a strain on his relationships with people close to him. His addiction also causes him more trouble than it's worth as the season goes on.
True Blood is a smart and well acted show that has a lot going for it. Twilight fans may find it to be a total rip-off from the sound of my review but there's a lot of originality to this show as well. There's not really too much to compare between the 2. Except what I mentioned already. The Twilight books are pretty good but this show is way better than the movie that's extremely over-rated by it's fans. If you haven't started watching it...then start! Anna Paquin doing nude scenes is a plus too lol.
