With all the buzz, I skeptically decided to give the Sunday nighter a shot. Armed with my kettle korn popcorn, I plopped on the couch and caught the 90 minute season 1 catch-up episode.
Well let me tell ya, I've been hooked ever since. True Blood's definitely got something. It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where an old married couple observes Kramer's portrait (great episode, btw):
MR. ARM:I see a parasite.
MRS.ARM:A sexually-depraved miscrient, who is seeking to gratify only his most basic and immediate urges.
MR. ARM:He is a loathsome, offensive brute, yet I can't look away.
Let's be clear, plenty of people will be freaked out by the show's graphic content. But if you can stomach it, True Blood dishes out some apricot jelly. Each episode breaks down to 60 minutes of non-stop suspense that's guaranteed to satisfy man's primal urges of bloody violence and hot, steamy sex.
... Ya know, with a few story lines tossed in along the way.
Great show. Good post. Mondays suck.
ReplyDeleteTrue Blood is awesome. I, like you, watched it once thinking I was going to hate it and now I’m hooked and I love it.
ReplyDeleteI was the same way. My girlfriend turned me onto it and I watch it every week now. Last night's episode was SICK by the way!

ReplyDeletelol after reading the title i was just about ready to start defending the show, until i read your issue. It's one of my favorite shows right now! The only thing i cant stand is that they always leave you on a cliffhanger.
