By Spyro
Format:DVD
Love this show, it is much darker than things like Twilight and Vampire Diaries (neither of which I like very much). The storylines are completely absorbing and the characters are just brilliantly designed, realistically flawed but likeable, including the more 'evil' ones such as Eric.
I have read a couple of the books and much prefer the TV show, which is rare but goes to show how good it is!
It is true that particularly the first few episodes of the first season feature a lot of sex and nudity, which I can only guess was made so graphic to draw viewers in (however it seems to have put off as many people! My parents, who would otherwise love this show, won't watch it because of the amount of nudity). It does tone down to an extent later on though, and the intruiging plot and characters more than make up for it.

By Buffy
Format:Blu-ray
True blood is fangtastic, dont listen to negative reviews at least watch it and decide for yourself. I admit its not everyones cup of tea but even my dad and mum who generally wouldnt watch anything with sex or swearing in it are hooked. I myself, love vampires hence the name Buffy, and after reading the negative comments felt that i should write my own review. True blood is exciting and fresh, most of the vampire shows or films that have become popular ie twilight, vampire diaries are aimed at a different audience, not that i am conplaining as i love them all, but this is the only one that has a dark undertone which makes it more gritty, and leaves you wanting more. Each week i cannot wait for the next episode, the vampires are more what you expect, dark, dangerous and deadly. Love it x x

It took me a while to get into the story, because it really has it's own little world. There is a mix of characters, some that you will hate, some that you will love and some that you will love to hate. The series takes it's own path, it mildly resembles the books, but at the same time it is completely different. Personally I think this series would be a lot better without it's leading stars Sookie, Bill and Jason... but that is a matter of taste. And it's a good thing that it's not up to me, or this series would be called Pam and Eric (with a side dish of Alcide, but that is just for my viewing appetites). True Blood is strangely addictive. I managed to discard the little indescrepancies in the plot or the constant reinventing of the characters and really enjoy it. There is a touch of brilliance in all the madness, and though a lot of things aren't exactly new and refreshing, it has been made new and refreshing in the way it is presented. If you are easily offended by blood or nudity, this is not the series for you. A friend of mine called it Spartacus with fangs (not completely true, but it gives you an idea, lol)

Horny vampires
When the likes of Twilight are mostly puritanical and adopt a utopic view of the vampire world, True Blood is a gritty sexy and violent contrast. Read more

I read the books and loved them but was sceptical about the TV series as usually they change almost everything. I was delighted to be so wrong. Read more

Excellent for Vampire lovers!
Love this series but the boxed set makes it easier to follow as we will sit and watch 3 or 4 episodes at a time! Converted my daughter who is a BIG Vampire Diaries fan. Read more
