ABOUT THE SHOW
Thanks to a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures "coming out of the coffin." Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides, but in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, the jury is still out.
Local waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), however, knows how it feels to be an outcast. "Cursed" with the ability to listen in on people's thoughts, she's also open-minded about the integration of vampires  particularly when it comes to Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill's arrival in Bon Temps, that tolerance will be put to the test.
A sexy, scary new drama from 'Six Feet Under' creator Alan Ball, 'True Blood' delves into the meticulously-crafted world of novelist Charlaine Harris. Described by the Emmy®-winning Ball as "popcorn for smart people" and featuring a colorful cast of local misfits, 'True Blood' promises an intense ride.

Starts today in the US. No idea yet if anyone has picked it up for the UK.

Re: True Blood (TV series)
I've seen the pilot and nowhere near as good as the books which were only just above average.

Re: True Blood (TV series)
It started off slow but currently on ep4 has really picked up especially the interaction between the main Suki and Bill.
I'm quite enjoying it

Re: True Blood (TV series)
I've just watched the premiere of season 2. There were quite a few suprises in it that I didn't expect. I'm looking forward to episode 2.

tis logged on the sky plus - We've read most of the Sookie Stockhouse novels and it looks like the series should be quite good.
