There’s witches. Necromancer-type witches. They weren’t all Glenda the Good Witch, after all.
There’s werewolves. And shape-shifters. Some of these have big old sloppy-dog hearts. Some of these are pit-bull fighters.
And since this series is on HBO, you know there’s lots of gratuitous nudity. And plenty of sex.
Seriously? Fifty Shades of Gray has nothing on True Blood.
I suppose there’s also plenty of eye candy for the guys. And that’s probably why the significant others come along for the show.
This TV series is based on a series of books. I haven’t read the books yet, but I’m told the show is pretty seriously diverging from the original plot line now. I am looking forward to (maybe?) having some downtime in the future to read them…
But I’m not sure I care how closely the story lines mesh. It’s pretty entertaining. I mean, when Sookie gets completely drunk, pukes all over a hot guy’s shoes in the middle of a make out session, then yells “boot and rally!” and heads out a broken window to go hunting for a hungry, vicious, 3000-year old vampire, where can you go wrong?
We spend most of the evening laughing… I don’t think it’s intended to be a comedy, but we certainly get a bunch of laughs out of it!
Hey – no spoilers in the comments… We’re a week behind on the show!

Sounds fun. Don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode, but it might be worth watching for the hot guys.

Yep, the boys make it fun! 🙂
