True Blood

Very much aware of its own cheese, 'True Blood' revels in an aesthetic of camp that celebrates flamboyancy and self-expression through laughably stupid narrative arcs and hammy performances, yet still possessing flair for genuinely great comedic timing. The lack of major narrative shifts or surprises results in awful wet farts of cliffhangers that amount to little. Still, while it's bad, I think it knows it is--and that's OK. Just laugh with it because it's kind of awesome.

1x; Stopped watching after S1E1.

S1-3

Early seasons are alright, largely based on the charisma of Anna Paquin. It was nice seeing her boobs.

Addictive

For all its many faults (season 4 is a tv history all time low but there’s loads more problems) TB is a unique little place stacked with southern lore, that really exists in the mind off screen. It’s easy to forgive it because there are so many elements and characters that truly work making it such an addictive show. S7 helped my overall mood: all the fantasy crap mutants fucked off and it’s just vampires and their integration in the world, which was always the most interesting concept of TB

S 1-4

Silly, often bad, but fun. Anna Paquin is amazing, and there's no beating HBO's production values. Sadly the writing quality drops sharply after the first season.

There are parts of this show I hated, but it makes up for most of them. Paquin as Sookie is perfect, and it's better than the book series.

The series started off strong, and stayed that way for quite some time. Good actors, solid drama and romance, but unfortunately the last couple seasons lose focus and it ends in an unsatisfying way/.
