true blood is a great new hbo series about, you guessed it, vampires! the basic premise of the show is a japanese company has perfected synthetic blood and is marketing it as tru-blood. with no need to feed off humans anymore the vampires decide to out themselves and attempt to gain some basic civil rights. it's very southern gothic so instead of being racist to black people the south is now racist against vampires.
it's an excellent show that is very dark, funny and violent at times. also did i mention it's hbo so there is no lack of colourful language, gratuitous nudity and or graphic violence. check this shit out i'm hooked.
I got confused in a long time if TruBlood was a new energy drink or a series, it kinda went clear last week.
I want to check this out, hopefully will be here soon.

The series sounds pretty innovative, but if this is true it's going to be cliche as hell.

it's handled pretty tastefully and isn't really cliched redneck ¥¥¥¥¥¥ lynching kind of shit, it's very subtle, and the basic premise is vampires are tax paying citizens who demand civil rights. here's the trailer for those interested.

I am liking this shit
It's a HBO original series right? I'm liking most of those I've seen, so I may have to give this a shot.

Its not television, it's HBO.
So wait, one of the main characters is also a clairvoyant?
Quote from: The Hero of Winds;1401002So wait, one of the main characters is also a clairvoyant?
THE MAIN character is a telepath.
Clairvoyant is also the correct term, right?
Firefox accepts it as a real word.
BLAH
Quote from: Joey Jeremiah;1400709the basic premise is vampires are tax paying citizens who demand civil rights.
What the heck.
So are there laws against vampires?
There should be.
I just finished the first episode
It was pretty dumb but not as dumb as I thought it would be
this show is good, not as good as other hbo shows, like the wire, which is the best show of all time.
still it's mad decent, episode 3 aired the other night, i won't drop any spoilers but someone is probably a werewolf.
also sookie's run in with the nest vamps turned out neat and they introduced a vampire specific disease, also plenty of tis, ass, etc.
this show is mad hot.
When does Dexter start?

3 episodes have aired so far.
Cool now im hooked on this aswell. What's keeping the torrent for ep6 so long :(
Just saw episode three.
I like it but the whole vampire thing is getting more and more dumb. It's getting to the really really annoying teenage fanfiction stage of "OH MYYY GOD I AM THE VAMPIR U HOOMANS R SO WEEK U CANNOT KNOW THE EXNT OF MI POWER
HUMANS ARE THE VILS ONES!"
This becoming more like softcore porn every episode.
Quote from: PirateClock;1441289This becoming more like softcore porn every episode.
Yeah, really. It's akward seeing as I liked watching this with my dad.
yeah the minute i heard about the girl from cloverfield i rushed to get the episodes. now if only i had the time to watch it...
cloverfield girl is so hot, if it wasn't for the gay vampire i'd have totally been jerking off.
massive bumpage to say that im glad Lafayette isn't dead.
Yes I love this series. Too bad I was only able to watch the first few episodes :(
I also like how that Church of the light/sun thingy whatever is obviously a cult trying to talk people out of their money aka Scientology.
What's that new chick suppose to be, the one that went all hummingbird when banging a 17 year old. A siren or maenad or something? Probably something Greek.
Also Eric is a fucking badass, i wish they casted him as Thor instead of Captain Kirk's dad.
I think they hinted pretty strongly she's a god of some sort.
This show is dumb as hell but I enjoy it.
SUDDENLY
MINOTAURS
EVERYWHERE
Terry has some rad shades, i want them.
Well I haven't seen any of series two yet but it sounds fuckign I'm a edgy teen
looking forward to it
Maybe the chick is Circe, the goddess who changed Odysseus men into boars, you know Odysseus, he played Boromir in Lord of the Rings.
Anyway, she trows some rad parties that's for sure.
Every hamburger deluxe comes with AIDS.
Quote from: Pabst, the Ork-dog hybrid;1609576Every hamburger deluxe comes with AIDS.
Haha yeah that was probably my favorite scene of the entire show.
Gonna try watching this.
i don't care much for the whole meanad/black chick/shapeshifting bar owner story line. But i do like the vampire stuff, specially the Eric. Also the church is kinda neat cause it's so incredibly lame.
Trailer Looks pretty cool, but the unneeded softcore porn and vampire premis is kinda driving me away.
It's pretty good. I've only seen a couple episodes though...
Oh great, they have giant orgies now.
I have seen like the first 5 episodes, should I keep watching before I decide I don't like this show?
Quote from: Nice Guy Ampm;1631693I have seen like the first 5 episodes, should I keep watching before I decide I don't like this show?
yes
Eh, not really. It is what it is; really dumb. Some people like it, and others won't.
i liked this episode, hope Jason isn't dead though.
Can someone review the series so far?
I love vampire stuff and gothic/emo style when it comes to porn.
Gotta know if it's worth investing time in or not, series nowdays always require dedication at levels equall to a religious fundamentalist :(
it creeps me out
not in a good way
in a "beth ditto is sexy? what" way
I got bored during the second episode. I want to know about the world they live in not the characters.
Paintballs!
"God, you're worse than Judas"
"Why? What did he do to you?"
haha
Also i was right about the meanad thing, booyeah.
Also that bitch cut the human heart on a wooden plate, how unsanitary!
Apparently it tastes really good though.
Quote from: Franklin G. Hamilton;1639470what kind of story doesnt have characters
Oh also the redhead chick is a virgin FOR EVER hahaha awesome.
Quote from: Jefferson Twilight;1643655Also i was right about the meanad thing, booyeah.
Good call.
It's a same Godric died, it was neat having a 2000 + year old vampire around. Specially when he said: "I'm actually older than your Jesus"
A well, pretty sure Eric is like a 1000 as well. Didn't really get what happened to the cowboy vampire guy, did he die in the explosion or something?
I guess. They could have shown a corpse or something.
Ok season ended! Pretty neat overall, i'm glad Eggs died, he was annoying as fuck.
