TRUE BLOOD Season Two Initial Thoughts

by Heather Wixson

The truth is, I pretty much gave up on serialized TV in 2008, and I had definitely given up on anything genre-related because of how NBC's "Fear Itself" was treated.  So, when HBO first announced it had planned to run a vampire series by Alan Ball (SIX FEET UNDER) called TRUE BLOOD, I was skeptical. 

Then I gave the show a chance and after the first three episodes, I was completely addicted.  By the end of the first 13 episodes, I was beyond mesmerized and collectively holding my breath for my next taste of this sinister and sexy drama.

At the end of Season One, we had wrapped up the initial mystery of who was responsible for killing those sympathetic to the "fangers," and set up a new set of mysteries for season two, all skillfully within the last five minutes of the inaugural season finale.

Now, after getting to sit down with a few of the first episodes of Season Two, what I can say is this season of TRUE BLOOD may very well end up blowing the first season out of the water, which is not an easy feat at all.  The sex is steamier, the drama is hyped up, and the entire cast seems to have really fallen into their characters portrayals far deeper than they could have last season.

What started off as simply a forbidden human/vampire love story between Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) has developed into a series that delves into some of the darkest parts of human nature and masterfully explores the aspects of the different natures of desire.

I don't want to give away too much because I have never been one for spoilers, but what I can say is that if you think you've seen it all after the first season of TRUE BLOOD, then you are completely wrong.  And if you didn't catch the first season, you need to check it out immediately and then jump right into the new season.  I promise you won't be disappointed.
