True Blood is an American television drama series created and produced by Alan Ball. True Blood is based on The Southern Vampire Mysteries series of novels by Charlaine Harris, and details the co-existence of vampires and humans in Bon Temps, a small, fictional town in the state of Louisiana. The series centers on Sookie Stackhouse (played by actress Anna Paquin), a telepathic waitress at a bar, who falls in love with vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer).
Following the creation of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. Sookie Stackhouse is a telepath and waitress at Merlotte's in the small Lousiana town of Bon Temps, owned by Sam Merlotte , a shapeshifter—though this secret is kept hidden. One night, Sookie meets Bill Compton, a handsome 173-year-old vampire who has returned to Bon Temps following the death of his last remaining relative. As she cannot hear his thoughts, she finds it easy to be in his company and, over the first season, the two become romantically involved.
At first I was skeptical about this series as it came out more or less at the same time of Twilight series (which is in my opinion the most stupid and ridiculous saga ever about vampires), so I thought it was similar to it but instead this is much more mature and well-done. Vampires are serious, they don't sparkle in the sun playing baseball...they are regular vampires who die in the sun!! LOL
Also what I really appreciated about this series is the fantastic opening sequence!
They have already done 3 series on tv and now the 4th is coming! Can't wait to see it! :)

Thank you HBO! Its no wonder HBO is one of the biggest premium movie providers around. I was excited when True Blood first come out on HBO because I had read the book a few months before it aired and they made the TV series just as good if not better than book. With DISH Network you can watch all the new TV series anywhere in the world using sling technology with DISH Network TV everywhere. Working for DISH Network I can tell you that you can get TV everywhere with the sling adapter connected to a 722 series DVR or just get the 922 DVR that has sling capabilities built in. If you already have the 722 or 722k then you just need the sling adapter and DISH Network sells it for $99. DISH Network is also doing a rebate for the sling adapter for the full $99 that you can take advantage of. Check out this really cool link that I found http://goo.gl/Qsggz.
I have the first and second season DVDs of True Blood. It was quite interesting. My best friend liked it too (she loves Twilight as well) but she was more into The Vampire Diaries. I don't mind watching Twilight, I went to see New Moon and Eclipse with my mum and some friends. But I do hate the idea of Edward being a bit...well you know.
Mum called him a S.N.A.V (Sensitive New Age Vampire). I found it quite funny.
After all, Twilight is based on Stephenie Meyer's dream. She perhaps dreamt them sparkling.
It sounds more like blood sucking fairies than vampires. (Would that be so cool if it were fairies instead?)
My older brother said they should've made Edward more badass. lolz.
Well, any vampire story pretty much better than Twilight.
