From HBO Home Video

Product Description

TRUE BLOOD chronicles the backwoods Louisiana town of Bon Temps... where vampires have emerged from the coffin, and no longer need humans for their fix. Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin, Golden Globe(R)-winner for "True Blood", Academy Award®-winner for “The Piano”) works as a waitress at the rural bar Merlotte's. Though outwardly a typical young woman, she keeps a dangerous secret: she has the ability to hear the thoughts of others. Her situation is further complicated when the bar gets its first vampire patron - 173-year old Bill Compton (Steven Moyer, "Quills") - and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other. Delivering the best of what audiences have come to expect from Creator and Executive Producer Alan Ball (writer of Oscar®-winning Best Picture “American Beauty”, creator of the Emmy® Award-winning HBO® series “Six Feet Under”), TRUE BLOOD is a dark and sexy tale that boldly delves into the heart - and the neck - of the Deep South.

Superb... and not for everyone Alan Ball has created a series in True Blood that brilliantly captures the horror and eroticism of the vampire myth while being true to the source material in the novels. Death, sex, addiction, violence, intolerance, friendship, love, acceptance, etc. all play a part of this show. If this is problematic for you, then I suggest you watch that other, unbelievably popular, benign and neutered, vampire-movie-based-on-books.

The Best!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not wait to receive this and I subscribed to HBO just so I could watch the second season. I read all the books first and then found out it was made into an orignial HBO series. I have watched the first season on DVD at least 3 times since receiving the DVD's. I am so ready for the 2nd season to start.

Thank you Alan Ball! The most addicting TV show is a long time! I won't go into too much detail as so many other folks have already done so. But who would have thought a show involving the romance of a plucky young southern waitress and a vampire would actually keep me glued to the set for an entire week? The combination of Alan Ball and Charlaine Harris provides one wild, unpredictable, although ultimately exhausting trip that includes just about everything but the kitchen sink--virgins, romance, vampires, serial killers, shapeshifters, rednecks, goths, sex and more sex, drugs, exorcisms, fangbangers, fundamentalist, etc.
