What could’ve been a great TV show, wasn’t so great afterall. The whole season was full of surprises, and interesting characters. But, somehow, they manage to wreck the finale. What a disappointment, all the build up, the interesting sub-plots, suddenly took a dive in the last episode.
True Blood is an HBO series about vampires in Lousiana. They are not very popular amongst the humans because they are stereotyped as evil, and murderers. The story revolves around a bar waitress named Sookie, played by Anna Paquin. Although not a vampire, she considers herself a freak because she can read people’s minds. Naturally, she sympathizes for the vampires, and tries to defend them whenever she can. She meets a very stoic, and apparently sexy vampire that has been around for over 100 years, their relationship is somewhat awkward and funny. But, the true mystery of the show is that there is a serial killer in town, and nobody knows if it’s a vampire, or a human.
Overall, this is a great show minus the finale. It’s a blend of drama and comedy. Although, the story line is very far-fetched, but at the same time, HBO managed to keep things somewhat believable. My main issue with the finale is that they tried too hard to set things up for Season 2. They should have focused on the current plot, instead, they went way off-track and it was all over the place. The characters became overwhelmed by the unnecessary sub-plots, and I lost interest in almost all of them. But, I still liked the show, and still would recommend it, but don’t get your hopes up for the finale.
Grade: C+ (would’ve been a B+ if it wasn’t for the finale.)

Nah, I’d still give it a B+. The last episode did suck but that doesn’t change the fact that the previous episodes were great.

Better than most shows that are out there, from the Creators of Six Feet Under and Towelhead. I love the intro, it never gets boring no matter how many times I’ve seen it. I like it because it doesn’t hide what it is…..a Soap Opera……but with good acting and better writing.
One thing I will say that always shines in the series…..THE SEX. I have never seen better sex written in any show or movie. It just so HOT and LUSTful and REAL……..yes I’ve fucked watching TRUEBlood and you should too
