Is anyone watching True Blood on HBO?

[Diane]

I know POB watches it, because we've discussed it just a little bit, but I wondered who else is watching it, and what do you think of it?

I think it's pretty freaky, kinky, bloody, violent, and at times funny.

I love it!

I even love the theme song, and the opening graphics.

They've only shown 3 episodes so far, but I read one review, that says that it really starts to kick in about the 5th episode, so damn, I can't for more.

Anyone else?

Oddly enough we just got a comp copy of Episode 1 the other day,and it rocked

[BoxingGorilla]

I also, "love it!"


Sookie, sookie now.

Vampires find a way to come out of the coffin,and its effects on a small Louisiana town

Sounds cool, is it an adult type drama horror or campy childs fun like Buffy?

It's the first one. The adult drama-horror.

Great stuff.

Kind of reminds me of the movie Perfect Creature.

Sounded interesting. Heard from somebody who has generally good taste in movies/tv shows who didn't like it. Still planning on watching it at some point.

OMG, it is soooo not campy childs fun like Buffy!!!

To add to what Trainer Monkey said, the vampire population has come out of the coffin, and are trying to get their equal rights, and now live amongst the humans. The vampires no longer have to feed on human blood, because a synthetic blood was made that they can drink to survive, but of course there are those who would rather have the human blood.

Go here, and you can see a quick video synopsis of each episode, and it should give you a good idea.

HBO: True Blood

You should definitely try checking it out, it's a great show.

BTW a new episode premieres every Sunday night.

I need to start watching this; as I love the whole vampire thing. I live like one too so it should be right up my alley

Hey Bilbo, as a sidenote, if you like vampire type stuff read Brian Lumley's Wamphyri series. Lumley was an English author and imo has written the premiere books on the blood suckers.

R.I.P. Lumley

I'm not really into horror novels. Werewolves are my fave horror characters although 90% of werewolf movies are awful.

Still American Werewolf in London is possibly the greatest horror of all time, and I loved Dog Soldiers. The Ginger Snaps films wern't bad either.

I'll grab the first episode of this sounds interesting, although generally I'm not keen on vampire movies. I couldn't stand Buffy and Angel, I had to turn off 30 Days of Night half way through as I felt like slitting my own throat and the dracula films never did anything for me at all either.

But if people think it's good it might well be so I'll grab the first episode and see what it's like.

I need a good series to keep me entertained until Lost comes back.

I actually loved 30 days of Night; though I thought the way they made the vampires appear was rather silly. The way they communicated and those shark eyes was well done, but the goofy tattoos on them and not very frightening countenance of them actually made the movie less than stellar.

I don't watch vampire movies and certainly never even attempted to watch Buffy But the series by Lumley is awesome, imo anyways.

And if I want to see werewolves I'll watch Valuev's family reunion on youtube.
