Title: New HBO Series: True Blood
Post by: okarol on September 06, 2008, 10:47:49 PM
This new show starts tomorrow night:

Thanks to a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures "coming out of the coffin." Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides, but in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, the jury is still out.

Local waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), however, knows how it feels to be an outcast. "Cursed" with the ability to listen in on people's thoughts, she's also open-minded about the integration of vampires — particularly when it comes to Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill's arrival in Bon Temps, that tolerance will be put to the test.

A sexy, scary new drama from 'Six Feet Under' creator Alan Ball, 'True Blood' delves into the meticulously-crafted world of novelist Charlaine Harris. Described by the Emmy®-winning Ball as "popcorn for smart people" and featuring a colorful cast of local misfits, 'True Blood' promises an intense ride.


Looks interesting - nothing new has been on HBO for quite awhile.  :2thumbsup;

Starting Sunday, Sept 7 @ 9pm edt. Interesting that it is set in a small town in Louisiana, New Orleans has intriguing vampire lore. I wonder if this folklore will play into the stories. We'll be watching.

I've read some of the books - I liked them.

But I canceled my cable!
