True Blood

[Psynaut]

Is this new vampire show on HBO worth watching?

 

[robphelan]

yeah.. not bad at all. . Ana Paquin grew up to have a hot bod.. needs some orthodontia work, though..

 

[Sid59]

i'll give it a few more episodes. i'll have to rewatch the first episode. If i can get through the first episode, i'll watch the rest of the season.

 

[loup garou]

i only made it through 3/4 of the first episode last night, I'll watch the rest tonight, but what I saw was fucking horrible.

 

[torpid]

Much better than expected. The promos made it look truly terrible. They kept talking about how different it was and then they'd tell us things that were in every other vampire TV show ever. But it did have some interesting elements, and the tone was very much Alan Ball. Maybe I was blinded by expectations of it being terrible, but I liked it, despite some of the stupid characters. Way better than Moonlight, at least.

My bad I don't have the HBO channel!

 

[AntiFreze]

I watched it last night, was gonna make a new thread.

The trailer and website make it look terrible. Its not half bad, ill watch the next episode. There's some gratuitous nudity that doesnt really add any value, but the premise is cool.

 

[V00DOO]

I didn't like it, but I'll watch the next episode. If the next episode is no good then I'll stop watching it. Speaking of HBO why is Inside the NFL on Showtime now?

 

[wheresmybacon]

I thought it was horrible. I won't watch it again.

 

[DangerAardvark]

It was shit. The acting was barely acceptable, the script was excruciatingly stilted and banal and the story meandered incessantly. Every character was unlikable and talked with the fakest southern accent imaginable. And why the hell are the fangs on the vampire NOT the canine teeth? Retarded on every front. The only reason to keep watching at this point is because, like John From Cincinatti, they set up so many unexplained story lines that you kinda wanna see if they'll ever resolve any of them.

7.5/10

watchable enough to let it sit on my tivo and watch it when there's absolutely nothing else to watch.

 

[finite automaton]

I'm tired and thought your title said True Blonde

 

[Baked]

Only reason I'm watching it is 'cause Anna Paquin's in it. It's not gonna get a 2nd season. It's quite bad.

 

[Bateluer]

I enjoyed the first episode, though the fake southern accents did get a little grating early on. I'll watch a few more episodes, see how it progresses.

Oh, not every vampire mythos has the fangs as the canines, DangerAardvark, see Max Shreck as Nosferatu or the White Wolf WoD setting. The locations of vampire fangs vary. One can make the argument that a vampire's fangs should always be the front two teeth because that's where the fangs of the vampire bat are.

 

[SpunkyJones]

I thought it was fairly poor, I expect better from HBO, it felt like a summer replacement show from the WB.

 

[Gothgar]

ah missed it, I wanted to try and watch it

 

[classy]

I am a true vampire guy, but I thought it was pretty lame. I am going to watch a couple more episodes, but the premise that they are like "out of the closet" is not very good.

 

[Sid59]

it's starting to heat up. next week should be a good episode.

tonite was meh.

 

[DomS]

I love southern gothic stuff....

Some of the fake accents are brutal though. Just absolutely brutal. I understand the main actors aren't southern, but would it kill them to use extras who are from the south?

 

[classy]

Its pretty bad. This is as bad if not worse than Blood Ties.
