True Blood: The Complete First Season (HBO Series)

TRUE BLOOD chronicles the backwoods Louisiana town of Bon Temps... where vampires have emerged from the coffin, and no longer need humans for their fix. Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin, Golden Globe(R)-winner for "True Blood", Academy Award®-winner for “The Piano”) works as a waitress at the rural bar Merlotte's. Though outwardly a typical young woman, she keeps a dangerous secret: she has the ability to hear the thoughts of others. Her situation is further complicated when the bar gets its first vampire patron - 173-year old Bill Compton (Steven Moyer, "Quills") - and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other. Delivering the best of what audiences have come to expect from Creator and Executive Producer Alan Ball (writer of Oscar®-winning Best Picture “American Beauty”, creator of the Emmy® Award-winning HBO® series “Six Feet Under”), TRUE BLOOD is a dark and sexy tale that boldly delves into the heart - and the neck - of the Deep South.

Customer Review:
I am a HUGE fan of the Sookie Stackhouse books. What is funny though, is that I did not start reading them until I had heard of this show. I fell in love with the books from the first one I read, so it was good I bought the boxed set of the books. I was done with all 6 of those books in a week!!!

I have patiently waited for the series to come to DVD, as I do not have HBO and had not seen a single episode. It was interesting to see the books come to life, and in many ways they were true to the books. In oher ways, the show went in tangents that were boring, uninteresting, and just downright weird. The whole Tara story line is just out of left field. Perhaps the writers were trying to give the readers of the book something to be surprised by? It was unnecessary for me. I was not keen on Paquin for the role of Sookie, but she grew on me as I watched the show.

In the end, I WILL watch season 2 (am subscribing to HBO right before it starts), and my husband, sister, mom, and cousin will be watching as well (all people who have watched my season 1 DVDs).
