"Six Feet Under" creator Alan Ball seductively glides into the bewitchingly-clever realm of novelist Charlaine Harris delivering us the much anticipated yet provocative and mysterious HBO drama series True Blood.
Because of one Japanese scientists formulation of a synthetic blood beverage, vampires are bid the opportunity to co-exist worldwide as citizens among their once highly craved delicacy; humans. While the mortal locals should feel safe in knowing that the sanguine-suckers have the True-Blood cocktail to use as a meal diversion, it still leaves many feeling dogmatic and apprehensive, leery of integrating themselves with the walking cadavers that dwell among them in the small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana.
Local bar waitress, Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), can relate to being an outcast since she was born with the ill-fated ability to hear peoples thoughts through telepathy, still however she is candidly receptive to the unification of vampires; especially after her acquaintance with Bon Temps new resident Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), an allurinigly good-looking, 173 year old vampire who moves down the road. But as Sookie becomes more involved with Bill, she finds herself tangled into a series of unexplained charades coincidentally encompassing Bill's new arrival which challenges her usually benevolent beliefs.
As he did with "Six Feet Under", Ball creatively combines a distinctively unique cast of the Southern towns eccentric characters in this eerily seductive HBO drama series, True Blood leaves you thirsty for more with each episode. I can't get enough.
