About this product

Product Information

Created by SIX FEET UNDER's Alan Ball, TRUE BLOOD is like a sexier, bloodier older sister to the relatively well-behaved TWILIGHT. This HBO drama is based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries novels by Charlaine Harris, a series set in a world where vampires have just begun to 'come out' after a synthetic blood substitute called True Blood is introduced. Oscar winner Anna Paquin stars as Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress living in Bon Temps, Louisiana, who falls hard for Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a Civil War veteran and vampire. But their romantic romps aren't the only draw for the series: the existence between humans and vampires is an uneasy one, and people are dying. <BR>Clothes fall to the floor almost as often as blood spatters the walls in this show that blends supernatural horror, sex, and mystery, with just a little bit of social commentary thrown in for good measure. Executive producer Ball and his writers have shaped a variety of fascinating characters in addition to Sookie and Bill, including Sookie's mysterious boss, Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell); her best friend, Tara (Rutina Wesley); her womanising brother, Jason (Ryan Kwanten); and her sweet grandmother, Adele (Lois Smith). This collection presents the show's complete first series.

ReviewsWashington Post - Audacious, outrageous and playfully grisly, TV Guide - Graphically sexy and scary, and often wildly funny... a broadly entertaining, deliciously twisted slice of modern Southern Gothic, Fangoria - More drama and offbeat humor than horror and scares... A welcome and unique twist on the tired vampire mythos, USA Today - Wildly imaginative... with one of the best ensembles of the new series, Chicago Sun-Times - Bloody, sexy and violent, the show is also both occasionally funny and frightening
