True Blood - The Story So Far

What is this?
For those of you who do not know, True Blood is an HBO series a book series Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris is based. The book and the series follows an alternate reality where vampires are not only real, but after the invention of synthetic blood, vampires have come out of the closet, some who want to live a normal life. The series is set in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, and follows the main character, Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress are the residents of the new city of vampires made, as the only person in the city whose spirit can not read.
The Good: 

 The southern town of Bon Temps, offers a fun atmosphere for this story. Take the vampire, and you still have a city full of colorful characters, Shape Shifter, exorcisms and other strange places. I am also the premise of the story with the idea of ​​vampires fighting for equal rights, integration, and some even satisfied.
The Bad: Despite an interesting premise and a cool backdrop of history, a seasonal pattern, being familiar to many. The love triangle Sookie-Bill-Sam sounded a little too close to the scene of Edward-Bella-Jacob in Twilight. Sookie is sometimes a bit frivolous, as it jumps between the attention of Sam and Bill, and to be honest, during the first season that he never saw any reason to fear the relationship between Sookie and Bill from the fact that after the script, they are really together. "
The vampire in the series was a bit irrelevant in the first half of the season. Anyone who wanted reform, and are completely numb, as the bill or who were stuck in his seventies or gothic version of a vampire. The action in the last episode was a bit too typical of Hollywood for a show that is clearly not typical, especially the chase between Sookie and the real murderer.
Gender:  

Hmm, you see this program knows that the sex scenes may be surprising to the map, also for HBO. Most courses among residents seem Sex Maniac Jason Stackhouse is produced, and therefore women who usually ends up dead later. Even when I'm in the amplification of the sex scenes, is a Southern story with vampires so, sometimes a little embarrassing.
The characters we love: The town of Bon Temps, it is worth is full of crazy characters. Jason Stackhouse is a character I'm on the fence, but may face is so stupid, that makes the show entertaining, had just left his girlfriend Amy in a different character, and I enjoy the flower child domain junkie be psychotic, order, despite the show only a few episodes, you have to love the way it was first Great Sookie know the accounts of the civil war that Sam Merlotte Obviously, their secrets, whether now known more his "Sookie, it's interesting is, what is there, sometimes I love Bon residents are Arlene, Detective Andy, Sookie's best friend Tara, whose mouth and ask the parents get into more trouble than anything else and Lafeyette , gay cousin Tara is undoubtedly character too much the small town of Bon Temps. I love vampire Eric, owner of Fangtasia, his assistant, Pam and Jessica is the new bill vampire "girl."

Characters I hate: There are some characters that I despise this show, but it is probably something wrong when your main characters are on that list. Bill has a personality. The thought, which seems to protect Sookie. Just not that interesting. Sookie waited for a chance to show courage, but it feels like damsel-in-distress/love interest and less like a character in its own right. Also, the scene of his first sexual relationship with Bill felt ridiculous directly from a novel by Barbara Cartland.
True Blood Season

Despite not being very impressed with the first season, season two new things interesting question. First, who or what is Mary? Secondly, who or what is this new evil hearts RIP love you? I want to make triangle also apparent good taste with Sam in principle. In the hope that it stays that way.
The presence of Jessica, who now live made with the bill, also a comic side, the draft law. Who knew recycling? It should also be a piece of interesting relationship with Sookie that Bill seems at least a little more mature, because they seem better able to withstand obstacles such as oh, killed by example, his friend of his wicked uncle.
Rating: The show seems to be still finding their feet. The characters are becoming more solid and less like a merger of all vampire-erotica/horror other stories I read. Still do not want to help a vampire who inspired Billy Idol can drive to the city and things happen, but history seems to come together and it's a start.
