Inspired by Ma6aba’s post on his favorite new show, I decided to share mine which is True Blood. I am half way through season 1 and like all HBO shows I love it. The basic plot behind the show is that Japanese scientists invented synthetic blood and as a result Vampires no longer needed to feed on human blood. Thats why the vampires decided to “come out of the closet” but as expected not everyone believes they should have the same rights like humans and both government and religious leaders are split on this issue. Its not your ordinary story which is why I like the show a lot. I am not aware of any satellite channel that has True Blood but the full season is available on Amazon for just KD11. [Amazon Link]

it was good for the first few episodes.. then the accent kinda got on my nerve.. lol.
12 of June <<<< second seasone begin
one of the best vampire shaws and on the top of them
except nudity stuffs
We loved it, and surprised ourselves. We found it well written, and often hysterically funny, and frequently touching without going over the top.
Dev is right, the best episodes were at the beginning, it got a little sluggish in the middle, but we felt it ended with a bang, and we can hardly wait for the next season.
It’s great high camp.
Told you it was good. Everything HBO makes is gold.
I’ve seen all of season 1 it was awesome.. love the theme song
I loved the show by my friend also advised me to read the books, which of course are better :))

The black chick who played Suki’s bestfriend in the pilot was sassy! Then they switched her out for someone annoying. I think the only time I laughed was when I saw one of the magazines saying “Angelina wants to adopt vampire baby!” The rest of the series was very blah… I hate Anna Pacquin (Suki), she ruined X-men for me and now she ruined this show for me. Plus ALL the men in the show are fugly! I’ve never seen an uglier bunch of vampires. Vampires are supposed to be either scary as hell or attractive as hell. The coolest thing about the show was the intro. It was insane! Plus I like their accents even though most of them couldn’t keep it up and their real accents slipped out from time to time. First, people down south were racist against black people and now they are racist against vampires! Sheer genius :/ I stopped watching after the first few episodes.
gonna start watching it since u say its good. i hope it actually is lol

just downloaded it and its perfect quality. why pay for it when u can download it for free :p
i just saw the first episode and it looks ok, nothing special and the accents are pretty damn annoying lol
i’ve watched the first 3 episodes now and in every episode there seems to be at least one sex scene lol
so for all u perverts out there, this show is for u 😛
according to the story I believe it was China that invented the synthetic blood thingy. thanks for mentioning the show. Just started with it and like it so far. But as mentioned in a previous post expect lot of voilence/nudity.
abbas: thats why HBO stuff is always the best
Kaushik: According to the story is Japanese scientists not Chinese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_blood#Plot_summary
hmm I could have sworn I heard them say chinese in the pilot episode, going to have to go through episode 1 again(then again I was watching this at 2 am). If I’m right it’ll be my first time catching wikipedia off guard.
no im pretty sure it was the japanese lol
what other shows do u watch or have watched that u recommend mark?
Lucky Louie

Damn….
I liked it myself but it is pretty racist, classist, misogynistic, and just overall bigoted.
It seems like instead of writing deep complicated characters, the writers decided to go with The Stereotypes. Dumb Hot Blonde Heroine. Angry Black Woman Sidekick. Gay Black Prostitute/Drug dealer Comic Relief. Incestuous Murderous Hillbilly. Brooding Good Guy Vampire (Brunette). Snarky Evil Vampire (Blonde). Prejudiced Poor Bitch. And the list goes on and on.
And then there are the heavy handed life lessons. If you are a Slutty Female, you will Die Horribly. If you are a Slutty Male, you will get in trouble but ultimately be ok, unless you are Gay, then you will Die Horribly. Losing your Virginity will lead to Horrible Things.
They might have just as well taken Buffy, Twilight, Interview with a Vampire and any other show or book and stuck them in a blender.
Fun yes. Original and Smart. Not so much.
If you want a show that seems like it’s pushing the envelope despite being a network show, check out Southland.
Er… sorry to rain on your parade? *waves* Hi, I like your blog.
i kinda agree with you eostre and ill check southland out
LMAO
this vampire just came out of his grave and starts fucking his grieving girlfriend covered in dirt and right on top of his own grave!!
I have been hearing about this show for sometime now. I think I should give it a shot and download it. I think it’s available on iTunes
