Review Log
This will contain mostly reviews. I will keep spoilers to a minimum where possible, but I can't guarantee spoiler free.
True Blood
I love the credits. The clips and theme song set the tone for the series. The opening episode was a little rough and the Tara character exaggerated, but it smooths out beautifully after that. I love the sense of humor ("God Hates Fangs" on a church sign.) The world is interesting. I like several of the recurring characters, particularly Tara, Remy, and LaFayette. The viral marketing, while cheesey was vaguely amusing. Sookie may be a little bland, Bill a bit stalkery, the Sam foreshadowing a little heavy handed, and Jason is dumber than paint, but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it, as it's eerily addictive. Seriously. I find myself craving it on Saturdays; I want to see what happens next. Yes, the sex is rather more than I like in a show, but hey, it's HBO. yes, they really, really need a dialect coach, but I'm pretty happy with it generally. I also like that they sort of trade off rescuing each other instead of having the female lead play damsel.

I haven't read the books yet, which BTW, predate Twilight.
