Based on the popular Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris and adapted by Six Feet Under’s film maker Alan Ball (it premiered on HBO in September 2008), True Blood is a blood-drenched Vampire series set in southern Gothic parable where the blood sucking fiends are campaigning for equal rights.

The first season of the show featured 12 episodes and lasted ’til 23rd of November 2008. Following the popularity of the first season, the second season came on air on 14th June 2009 featuring again 12 episodes and lasted till 13th September 2009. The third season is scheduled to go on air in June 2010.

The story centers on Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), an innocent waitress at Merlotte’s bar in Bon Temps and Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) a Civil War-veteran vampire. When waitress Sookie and vampire Bill Compton meet, the attraction is immediate. Sookie is cursed with the ability to read thoughts, which is one of the reasons she falls for the first person whose mind she can’t read: Bill Compton. The show is well cast with a lot of characters interacting with each other. Ryan Kwanten is Sookie’s brother, Rutina Wesley as her hilarious best friend, Sam Trammell as her boss who always have a crush and Nelsen Ellis as a gay cook who doesn’t take orders from anyone. Including fantastic performance from Lois Smith who plays Sookie’s grandmother and Generation Kill’s Alexander Skarsgard, you have one of the best (and best-looking) ensembles of the new season.
