"True Blood" - HBO vamps

[Rico]

Is anyone watching this show?  I just watched the first episode finally last night.  It's pretty different for a TV vampire tale.  I can't recall but is this based off some books?  I'm going to watch a few more and see where it goes.  Not a show for the kids that's for sure.

I've never heard of this. Sounds interesting though.

I just got HBO last week, maybe I'll take a look.

I don't have HBO (cue single tear), but I see the book series where I work everyday.  I think they're called the Soosie Stackhouse Chronicles, but I could be wrong.  I might try give them a read when the Christmas holidays come up.

yeah, it's the Sookie Stackhouse series. I hear they are pretty good. I've also heard that they were "Chicklit" from my wife.

The good news is that it's a likable series. My wife, father-in-law, and brother-in-laws, and I all like the show.

The bad news is that the season just ended and it's a cliffhanger that won't be resolved until summer.

yeah, it's the Sookie Stackhouse series.

???? I thought it was based on The Southern Vampire Mysteries book series by Charlaine Harris

It is a very good show, but is not for the kids, I kinda of see it as a story of two races clashing
but its not black vs white its living vs dead (Not living?)

check it out......

Yeah, read the link you sent. the protagonist is Sookie Stackhouse.

I got halfway through the first episode; I like the concept but I find the characters unbelievably annoying. Might give it another go with some of the later episodes.

I've heard the first episode is a little rough, but I'm a big Alan Ball/Six Feet Under fan, so I plan on renting it when it's released on DVD. Of course, I'll be slightly behind the times, but I can deal with that. :)

[Rico]

Yeah, I've only watched the first episode and most of the characters are pretty shallow and not very likable.  Sookie is about the only one so far that I kind of like.

Where did you watch it? (and i don't mean in your living room ;) )

[Dangelus]

Might check this out if I can find it. Is it on in the UK yet?

If celestialteapot's seen the first episode, it must be around in some form.

I believe it's going to be shown on FX next year or something but I watched it the sneaky way  :blush
