2 out of 5 Shovels
HBO’s new series True Blood is about vampires coming out of the “coffin." Thanks to Tru Blood a Japanese synthetic that allows vampires to be free of their need for human blood, vampires can mingle with humanity.
Some parts were well casted like Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse. Still undecided were Stephen Moyer as Bill the vampire and Rutina Wesley as Tara Thornton performances. Bill seems too gothic. Tara feels over the top.Even if the first episode was uneven in direction and acting, the sexual scenes became NC-17 and jogged into the realm of porn. Just because a vampire show is on HBO does not give the creators artistic license to produce sex as an extreme sport, even if the sexual content is or isn’t in the book. A good half hour of the hour long premiere was wasted in favor of sex.
This show was a true waste of time.
