Vampires have come "out of the coffin" and are now living among us. Surviving on synthetic blood, they no longer need human blood to survive. Or so it seems...
The small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, boasts a wide array of colourful locals. Meet Sookie Stackhouse (Academy Award winner Anna Paquin, a sweet and innocent waitress who hides her powerful ability to read minds; Bill Compton (British actor Stephen Moyer), a 173-year-old vampire who's just moved back to town; Sookie's brother Jason (Aussie hearthrob Ryan Kwanten - Vinnie Patterson from Home And Away), a ladies' man who can't seem to stay out of trouble; tough-as-nails Tara, Sookie's loyal best friend; Sam, the owner of Merlotte's who tries to keep his feelings for Sookie to himself; Lafayette, a man about town who's always cooking up something illicit and "off the menu", and a quirky cast of characters who each hide their dark secrets in the shadows of night in this series that's like no other.

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.

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

Never having seen True Blood, I spotted a recommendation for this box set, and it said 'never never dull' How true that is. These episodes are really well written, dynamic and unpredictable. You start by wondering if a vampire named 'Bill' isn't a bit silly, but you soon get right into these 'supernatural' characters and the action begins to feel very stylish. I loved it.

Perfect for True Blood addicts!
A must for anyone who has enjoyed the True Blood series on TV. Started watching it the day we received it and watched it every evening after that until we had seen it all. Read more

Best Show on Television!!
I was introduced to True Blood late on after seasons 1 through to 4 had aired on TV, but once I'd tasted the first couple of season 1 episodes I was hooked from that point on. Read more

Awesome!!!
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
