The True Blood series has done well since it was first aired on September 7, 2008. Since then it has received awards and critical acclaim. It caught on with audiences for a few reasons. First, people have become infatuated with vampires over the last few years and True Blood offers a raw look at these types of characters. In addition, because it is on HBO it is uncensored and the writers and producers can add a lot more excitement, sex and blood than it could if it were on network television.
The true blood series features supernatural characters. Sookie Stackhouse is the show's main character. Besides being a waitress at the local bar she is also a mind reader. So, she does not feel like she can connect with normal humans. She ends up getting involved with the vampire, Bill Compton. As the main characters develop their relationship, the viewer can see into the world of vampires and the supernatural.
The first season of the true blood series began with concerns of the death surrounded by Sookie's brother Jason. Though he is slightly suspected, no one who knows him well in town, thinks he had something to do with it. Soon, Sookie and Jason's grandmother are killed as well. It was later revealed that the murderer was a man engaged to another waitress. Merlotte's named Arlene and was killing women he considered "fang bangers." The first season also focused on the relationship between Sookie and Bill.
The second season of the true blood series included two main stories. First, when a 2,000 year old vampire named Godrick ends up missing. Erik, another vampire with a darker side than Bill ends up enlisting the help of Sookie help him find them. In addition, the second season also introduced a woman named Maryann who hypnotises the whole town in the hopes to capture the town's bar owner.
The third season of the true blood series premiered on June 13, 2010. It introduces werewolves and is lightly based on the book "Club Dead". In addition, the family heritage of Sookie is revealed.
