What do you get if you take the star-crossed lovers of Twilight, plonk them in the middle of Buffy’s hellmouth and surround them with a populace even quirkier than the residents of Twin Peaks? True Blood, that’s what!
|
From the pen of the ingenious Alan Ball (Six Feet Under), comes a vampire series like you’ve never witnessed before.
Vampires now live amongst us. They no longer hide in the shadows. Most of them don’t even drink from humans anymore, rather from a bottle of ‘Tru Blood’, a synthetic plasma that’s sold in bars, gas stations and even supermarkets. However, naturally not all vampires are over the moon about fake blood – and soon enough a few unlucky residents of Bon Temps, Louisiana start turning up dead. Surely it must be the vampires that are responsible, right? Right!?
Anna Paquin, best known for her role as Rogue in the X-Men trilogy, plays Sookie Stackhouse, a sweet, somewhat naïve waitress who tries to hide the fact that she can read the minds of everybody around her… well, nearly everybody. When Sookie meets Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a 173-year-old vampire who’s just moved back to town, she’s instantly smitten – partly because she can’t read his thoughts. He keeps her guessing, and she loves it!
With the body count mounting, it goes without saying that Sookie’s new boyfriend becomes a suspect. At the same time, Sookie’s troublemaking brother Jason (Australia’s Ryan Kwanten, TV’s Summerland) is also quickly fingered. After all, he was the last one to be seen with all the victims. It’s up to local cops Andy Bellefleur (Chris Bauer) and Sheriff Bud Dearborne (William Sanderson) – one who’s all for vampires being part of the community, the other preferring they were all dust – to decipher the clues, and present the town with the wrongdoer.
True Blood is a marvellous show. It’s refreshingly different, constantly surprising, thrilling and pleasantly amorous.
