RATING SCALE 5 Stars – Absolute Classic, 4 Stars – Excellent Film, 3 Stars – Good, 2 Stars – Average, 1 Star – Why even bother, 0 Stars – I wanted to scratch my eyes out after seeing it

TV: True Blood (Season 1)

September 20th 2009 06:35
When I first heard about 'True Blood', it was in Rolling Stone Magazine a few months ago. It was saying True Blood is Twilight for adults. Now, I get the comparison, but they both have different meanings about them. 'True Blood' is a pretty good show. It has a large amount of blood and guts and gore and sex and supernatural elements and stuff like that, making it an adult show, thus its R18 rating in Australia. It has a great cast. It is very watchable (I ploughed through the first season in about a week and am looking forward to the next season). But some of the time I felt like I was watching the same thing happen over and over again. It just seems to be murder and then searching for the murderer. Not very complex. But then again it is very easy to watch most of the time.


The cast is lead but the very capable Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse. She lives with her grandmother and older brother Jason (Australian actor Ryan Kwanten, who I vaguely remember watching in ‘Home and Away’ when I was really little) in the town of Bon Temps Louisiana. She also works at the local bar, called Merlotte’s after its owner Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell). The relatively quiet community is in uproar when the first vampire comes to live in their town. Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) is the vampire who was turned while on his way home from the civil war and wants to come back and live in his family’s old community. The final main character is Tara Thornton (played by Rutina Wesley) who is Sookie’s best friend, but is very stubborn which frays threatens their friendship. These characters make up most of the main story lines. There are obviously more characters, but if you want to know who they are and what they do, you’ll just have to watch the show.
